Places of Long-Term Deprivation of Liberty 318. The occupancy of the prisons visited ranges from around 100 inmates at Alcázar de San Juan (Ciudad Real) or 200 at Soria, to the almost 1,600 at Albocásser (Castellon), Dueñas (Palencia), Morón de la Frontera (Seville) and Villabona (Asturias). Amongst the prisons visited, the fullest was the prison complex at Picassent (Valencia), with more than 2,400 inmates. Along these lines, emphasis needs to be placed on the serious problem of overcrowding in many Spanish prisons, which means an almost general breach of the legal mandate of the so-called principle of individual cellular confinement (one prisoner per cell); whereby with just a handful of exceptions the cells have two, three or even four occupants — as at Alcázar de San Juan, Morón de la Frontera, Picassent and Soria —, or even five, as at Albacete. Likewise, there is also a clear need to suitably staff the prisons to avoid any worsening of the conditions caused by overcrowding due to a lack of personnel for the real needs of guarding and caring for inmates.

There is almost no strict 321. Most of the prisons are situated outside cities, which may sometimes make it difficult for family members to visit. Nevertheless, some of the older establishments have managed to arrange a bus service, whereas at the more modern prisons the current economic climate has made it difficult for local authorities to afford the outlay required for introducing a new service or extending an existing one for this purpose. Regarding access to the prisons, note should be taken of the precarious state of the road leading to Madrid II in Alcalá de Henares (Madrid), which is very dangerous for anyone making their way there on foot, and so a request for action has been submitted to the corresponding road authorities at the Dirección General de Carreteras of the Community of Madrid. Most are situated outside 322.
