A/HRC/16/52/Add.3 assaultive and indicative of the use of blunt force with a series of blows to the body. The medical evidence strongly corroborated the allegations of the detainees, who suffered broken limbs and other defensive-type injuries, some even requiring hospitalization. This led the Special Rapporteur to conclude that severe pain was intentionally inflicted for the purpose of punishment, amounting to torture. 45. At the time of the visit, both an internal and a police investigation were in progress. The Public Defender was also carrying out an investigation into the incident. The Special Rapporteur hopes that the results of the investigation will lead to appropriate administrative and, if applicable, criminal action against those responsible. 3. Correctional centres 46. The Special Rapporteur visited facilities that demonstrated a broad spectrum of conditions, ranging from fairly poor to those that could be considered best practices. St. Catherine and Tower Street Adult Correctional Centres, the two main prisons, are very old constructions originally built for “storing” people but are not suitable for modern correctional purposes, including rehabilitation and re-socialization. They were found to be overcrowded, lacking in sanitary facilities and offering limited opportunities for education, work and recreation. According to the testimonies of several detainees, opportunities for work were only available for those who already knew the different trades offered. In addition, as highlighted above (see paragraphs 39 to 45 above), basic services such as electricity, the use of toilets and access to medical attention depended on the goodwill of the warders. Detainees also reported that they could purchase marijuana and mobile phones from the warders. 47. Homosexuals detained at St. Catherine and Tower Street correctional centres were held in the “vulnerable persons unit” as a protective measure. However, their separation led to a loss of privileges of a punitive character, such as work and recreation, including the use of the library and playing field. In the security section in the Tower Street centre, detainees were locked up in dark, solitary cells without a toilet or water, and had nobody to call for help. 48. The prisoners in death row in the Gibraltar 1 section in the St. Catherine centre were held in isolation. They were allowed to go outside for one or two hours each day, but were not able to see any other prisoners. The cells had no toilets and the detainees complained about the presence of maggots and other insects in the cells. 49. The conditions at the detention facilities for children and women were generally better than those for adult males. Fort Augusta Adult and Juvenile Correctional Centre, the female prison, had much better conditions. However, the Special Rapporteur expressed concern at the fact that child detainees were not separated from the adults. The Diamond Crest Juvenile Correctional Centre had the best conditions among all those visited, and should serve as a best practice model for other correctional centres for both boys and girls. D. Children 50. Children and juveniles in need of care and protection, uncontrollable juveniles and those in conflict with the law are often held together without distinction. The lack of separation makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to address the individual needs of children, be it in terms of protection or rehabilitation. Additionally, there should not be one single model for all children in detention with regard to levels of security, access to education, recreation and family visits. Regarding uncontrollable children, the Special Rapporteur was greatly concerned at the lack of a clear definition or criteria for the identification of an uncontrollable child and the wide discretion afforded to the judiciary, 12
