Long-term Deprivation of Liberty of Murcia II, and its full implementation in those centers where it is still at a very early stage, such as the prison of Alava, where the PAIEM does not yet include all inmates with psychiatric pathologies. At the prisons of A Lama (Pontevedra) and Ocaña II (Toledo), a satisfactory operation of this program was observed, which was confirmed by inmates. On the contrary, at the women’s prison of Barcelona, run by the Government of Catalonia, the treatment of mental illness at the center is essentially limited to diagnosis of the suffered pathology and prescription of the adequate pharmaco­ logical therapy.
