Annual Report 2012: Spain’s National Preventive Mechanism Entrance to the prison cells of the Local Police station in Medina del Campo Photograph 5 (Valladolid) In a similar vein, the Local Police in Marbella (Malaga) has a building specifi­ cally for prison cells where detainees do not enter through the main door, al­ though they are also subject to public and media exposure, because the transfer vehicles have to park on the pavement from where detainees have access to the building through a side door. At the facilities there should be no elements which may allow self-harm attempts by detainees 32. One of the priorities of the NPM during its visits has been to verify that in the facilities for deprivation of liberty there are no shortcomings which may pre­ vent them from ensuring the physical integrity of detainees, given the number of cases of self-harm attempts by detainees shown in Tables 18 and 19 which are included at the end of this paragraph. In this sense, the existence of horizontal bars in the cells’ gate has been noticed at some of the facilities visited, as well as metal sheets or even unshielded locks, which may be used by detainees in an at­ tempt for self-harm. This is something that should be avoided, in compliance with the criteria established in paragraphs 47 of the 2010 Annual Report and 62 of the 2011 Annual Report.
