Annual Report 2012: Spain’s National Preventive Mechanism center in Valladolid who was serving a custodial measure in the semi-open regime imposed by the Juvenile Court of Tarragona but whose family lived in Cas­ tile y Leon. At the «Teresa de Calcuta» center there was a female minor whose family lived in the Canary Islands but who was in custody at that center because the offense had been committed in Madrid and she was a ward of a Juvenile Court in Madrid. Although almost all minors in custody were serving measures in centers located in the same autonomous community where their families lived, note must be taken that the «Zambrana» center is the only one where minors can serve custody measures in a closed regime in an Autonomous Community con­ sisting of 9 provinces. It is thus difficult to avoid having minors with ties to a city having to serve their custodial measures far away from it, contrary to the reiter­ ated proposal made by the Ombudsman Institution since September 2002 and recently in paragraph 169 of the 2011 Annual Report. Deficiencies in the video surveillance systems were detected in respect to coverage of the cameras, 142. None of the centers inspected were fitted with video surveillance systems that fully complied with all the characteristics that this Institution has repeat­ edly considered necessary, as mentioned in paragraphs 236, 395 and 477 of the recordings, conservation 2010 Annual Report and paragraphs 171 of 172 of the 2011 Annual Report, in and access, and also the respect to field of coverage of the cameras, image and audio recordings and their locations for viewing monitors activation, conservation and access protocol, or the locations for installing view­ ing monitors. In effect, at the «Teresa de Calcuta» center the video surveillance system did not cover all common areas and there was no protocol for the record­ ing, custody and extraction of incidents. The field of coverage of the video sur­ veillance system at the «Zambrana» center did not include all common areas ei­ ther, and there were no recordings. Lastly, the «Las Palmeras» center did not have any type of video surveillance at all. Video surveillance monitors Photograph 28 at the «Zambrana» center 114 THE OMBUDSMAN OF SPAIN
