Long-term Deprivation of Liberty 143. The admissions or reception procedure is sufficiently documented, all centers having a log book to note the identity, date and time of admissions, judi­ cial authority ordering the measure, reasons for the admission, personal data of the minor’s lawyer, and subsequently, transfers and release, with a personal file opened for each minor. As indicated in paragraph 177 of the 2011 Annual Report, once minors have served their custodial measure, no record of the file is to be kept at the center. This, however, is not the case at the «Zambrana» center, where the personal files are stored when minors are released, the reason given being that since it is publicly owned its facilities can be used to store said files. 144. At the three centers inspected, when a minor is admitted, a thorough as­ sessment of his/her medical and psychological aspects is performed. When mi­ nors are admitted to the «Teresa de Calcuta» center they are kept two to seven days in the admissions and classification phase. During this time they are in a situation comparable to that of separation from the group. Even though they are not taken to a specific unit, they have to stay in their room within the unit corresponding to their regime and can only go outdoors when the other juveniles in custody are not there, having to take part in the assessments required by the center’s different professionals. During this period of time they do not participate in activities.
