A/HRC/16/52/Add.3 179. A detainee had been sentenced to life imprisonment in 1978. In 1992 he was badly beaten by some officers but did not complain. In 2008, he was wrongly accused by an officer and subsequently kicked and boxed by four officers, among which was Officer Blair Grove. He was taken to the hospital but did not lodge any complaints. The named officer came to his section very often. 180. Michael Freemantle, aged 55, was a well-known prisoner who had won a case before the UN Human Rights Committee in the 1990s; but had not received any reparation as awarded by the Human Rights Committee. He was arrested in 1985 and sentenced to death on 21 January 1987. In 1995, this sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. Since he had been detained for almost 25 years, he should be eligible for parole and had applied to the Parole Board. The last time he had been abused by a prison warder was in 1997, but on 9 January 2010 he had been abused by a fellow prisoner. The Special Rapporteur strongly urges the Government of Jamaica to pay all applicants who were successful with their individual complaints before the UN Human Rights Committee an adequate compensation as indicated in the Committee’s final views, including Mr. Freemantle. 181. Stephen Morrison, aged 35, was sentenced to nine years imprisonment and had served his sentence since 2006 in Tower Street. Although he complained about the lack of education and rehabilitation facilities (workshops were only available for a few prisoners), he maintained that this prison ran rather smoothly. Security Cells 182. The room for the warders was empty. Detainees were locked up in dark solitary confinement cells without a toilet or water and had nobody to call for help. During the debriefing with the officials, the Superintendent admitted that due to a shortage of personnel, no staff was in the building during the nights, but prisoners could shout if they needed help. There were three small sections with a total of ten cells. There was no light in the cells, but only outside in the corridor. In principle, it seemed that the prisoners in the security cells were allowed to leave the cells like other prisoners in the morning and afternoon, but there were exceptions when prisoners were kept in complete solitary confinement. The Special Rapporteur holds the opinion that this cannot be done for the sole purpose of security and that it definitely amounts to a punishment. 183. Dwight Hawden, aged 30, was kept in cell no. 10 in complete darkness. He was sentenced in 2006 to life imprisonment but hoped to be eligible for parole after 15 years. He was usually kept in Section E South, but Officer Tamo had decided the Friday before the visit of the Special Rapporteur to put him in a “punishment cell”. Between September and November 2009, he had been locked up in this sector for two months. The only light in the cell came from a tiny opening in the direction of the “Gay Section”, which he could also use to communicate with other prisoners outside. 184. Clinton Gordon, aged 49, was sentenced to death in 1990. This sentence had been commuted to life imprisonment in 1993. He should soon be eligible for parole but he needed an employment letter in order to be released on parole. Since he was serving a life sentence, he was in a single cell in the E North Section. Because of lack of space, the officers had brought two other men into his cell. He protested, so he was moved to the security cells in December 2009, where he was again in a single cell. The conditions were much worse here, the cell was dark, and he considered this a misuse of the security cells. He would prefer to be together with others than to be alone in the security cell. He could usually leave his cell during the day, depending on the warders. 185. Ricardo Salmon, aged 28, had been in the security cell for eight months. He had been stabbed once by another inmate and taken to the Kingston Public Hospital. Two 54
