Annual Report 2016 - Spain’s National Preventive Mechanism against Torture Pinaret (Palma) and San Francisco-La Biznaga (Málaga) not all communal areas are covered. At facilities with special rooms for temporary isolation or interim separations, image recording cameras are only in place in Vicente Marcelo Nessi (Badajoz); these are non-existent, as indicated, in Zambrana (Valladolid), Maliaño (Cantabria), El Madroño (Madrid), Es Pinaret (Palma) and San Francisco-La Biznaga (Málaga). Of interest is that video surveillance systems have been installed in La Jara and El Limonar (Seville), recording images in communal and transit areas; a camera has also been installed in the room assigned to minors under a suicide prevention programme. Access to video surveillance recordings §259 AR 2014 132. In La Jara and El Limonar (Seville), the protocol or procedure for the processing of personal data gathered through the video surveillance system does not allow the facility manager to have direct and immediate access to viewing recorded incidents (ill treatment, injury to a minor, attempted escape, fights, etc.), without taking into account that the manager is the senior person in charge who, in such incidents, should and has to adopt the necessary measures as quickly as possible. According to the report issued by the Spanish Data Protection Agency, a Recommendation has been made for the data processing manager to draft a security document for the processing of personal data gathered by video surveillance systems in young offender detention institutions, in line with data protection regulations, allowing the processing manager to make the necessary corrections and adjustments to the protocol, thereby providing direct and immediate access to personal data (images captured by cameras or video cameras). Video conference §260 AR 2014 90 133. Es Pinaret (Palma) was the only facility without a video conference system to conduct procedural measures with judicial offices and the State Prosecutor’s Office for Minors, whereas this system was being used and regularly operating in the facilities of Zambrana (Valladolid), Vicente Marcelo Nessi (Badajoz), El Limonar and La Jara (Seville). In Monteledo and Montefiz (Ourense), the device had been installed but did not record visiting days, under the relevant operating protocols. A video conference system was also in place in San Francisco-La Biznaga (Málaga), El Madroño (Madrid) and Maliaño (Cantabria), but had not been used.
