A/HRC/16/52/Add.3 receiving appropriate medical and psychiatric treatment, furthering their anxiety. In addition, the girls were not classified according to their cause of detention; some girls in the Office dormitory were there under court orders, while others were there only because they were in need of care and protection from the State. The Special Rapporteur expects that those responsible be brought to justice and held accountable. E. Women 62. Detention facilities for women were generally more open and offered better conditions than those for men. There was a strict separation of male and female detainees. Duhaney Park Police Station for female detainees should serve as an example of professional and humane police lock-ups. 63. At the Fort Augusta Correctional Centre, the Special Rapporteur received credible allegations of excessive use of force by the authorities. Despite the fact that some of the cases were well known to the authorities, they did not feel responsible for initiating ex officio investigations or taking any other action. They justified their inaction on the grounds that no formal complaints had been lodged; thus, no officials were sanctioned for their acts. F. Persons with mental disabilities 64. Persons with mental disabilities deprived of their liberty are not held in a separate psychiatric institution, but detained in a special wing of different correctional centres. In the case of the Fort Augusta Correctional Centre, female detainees with mental health problems were scattered amidst the other detainees. At police stations, they were held together with other detainees. In the St. Catherine Correctional Centre, most of the detainees with psychiatric illnesses interviewed were forced to sleep on a concrete floor. The lack of adequate medical attention and the conditions of their detention are damaging to the physical and mental health of these particularly vulnerable persons. Persons with mental disabilities, and particularly those suffering from a severe mental illness, should be placed in specialized, secure psychiatric institutions. IV. Capital and corporal punishment 65. No death sentence has been executed since 1988, following the judgement in the Pratt and Morgan v. Jamaica case. People are nonetheless sentenced to death; the sentences are then commuted to life imprisonment after several years. However, the Special Rapporteur was concerned about the increase in fatal shootings by the police, often allegedly amounting to extrajudicial executions. He was also concerned by the apparent lack of investigation and accountability for those responsible. During the mission, some of the Special Rapporteur’s interlocutors insinuated that legal executions, now de facto abolished, had been replaced by extrajudicial executions, carried out by the police who took the law into their own hands. 66. The Special Rapporteur was informed that there were several ministerial orders banning corporal punishment, including in schools, which he took as a positive sign. While the Child Care and Protection Act prohibits the application of corporal punishment in Staterun facilities, which the Special Rapporteur notes as a positive development, it does not include any provisions banning corporal punishment in the domestic sphere. The Special Rapporteur was concerned that the use of corporal punishment appears to be deeply entrenched in Jamaican society. The Special Rapporteur witnessed as much at the St. 15
