All the visits had a duration of two days and were of a multidisciplinary na­ ture –with experts in psychiatry and legal and forensic medicine–, except the one carried out to the prison of Alcala de Guadaira (Seville), which consisted of a monitoring visit similar to the one undertaken the previous year. The methodol­ ogy applied at the multidisciplinary visits consisted of interviews with the staff (essentially the management and the healthcare personnel) and individual inter­ views to a selection of inmates chosen according to criteria based on age, nation­ ality and module. Likewise, the criteria used for their selection was the fact of their having been recently subject to penalties or means of restraint, of being in a situation of isolation at the time (either due to a penalty or as a means of re­ straint), that Article 75.1 of the prison regulations was being applied to them, of them being interned at the infirmary, or of inmates being classified as first de­ gree. On the other hand, during the visits an examination of the disciplinary proceedings was carried out, with a special interest to those resulting from inci­ dents where means of restraint had been used or had resulted in injuries and cases of application of means of restraint (in particular in cases of physical re­ straint); in addition to assessing the systems for video-surveillance and recordTHE OMBUDSMAN OF SPAIN
