Annual Report 2016 - Spain’s National Preventive Mechanism against Torture Suicide Prevention §208 AR 2014 93. It is necessary to strengthen the specific training received by inmates, under the Suicide Prevention Programme, as manifested during our visit to CP Jaén. Interpretation by phone §203 AR 2014 94. The CP Araba/Álava has a system for simultaneous interpretation by phone to avoid communication problems during medical appointments with inmates who do not speak Spanish. It would be appropriate for this system to be installed at all CPs. Lack of staff §154 AR 2014 Treatment §209 AR 2014 95. During all our visits we noticed that there were vacancies as a result of budgetary restrictions. In addition, workers take leave in general and there are other positions not covered, e.g. services staff. As a result, there is insufficient staff at some CPs in certain fields. 96. In particular, insufficient staff for the treatment of inmates (psychologists, educators, recreational supervisors, sports coaches, etc.) makes it difficult in practice to achieve actual reintegration. CP treatment managers often claim that it is only thanks to the voluntary collaboration of many NGOs, cooperating with prison institutions, that they are able to carry out many fundamental activities for inmate rehabilitation and psycho-social intervention, including the PAIEM itself at many prisons. On the other hand, CP Mas Enric (Tarragona), offers a wide range of treatment programmes, involving the management team and assigning the necessary staff. Library at CP Mas Enric (Tarragona) 74
