population of most prisons is within their capacities. 346.In the state of Jalisco, since 2003 the prison system has reported overcrowding, of 67.86 per cent on 24 January 2011. Note that under the present administration (2007–2013) it has increased only 3.08 per cent. This has been achieved through care and treatment programmes provided to all prison inmates. Permanent measures have been taken to reduce overcrowding, such as building of prisons, granting of benefits under non-federal law, transfers between prisons within the state and in other states, negotiations with associations to cover the amount of bail for first offenders who represent a minor threat and for non-serious offences, coordination with the Devolved Administrative Office for Detention and Social Rehabilitation for arranging the granting of benefits under federal law and transfers to federal facilities and the Islas Marías prison. 347.Also, in 2010 early release was granted to 1,021 prisoners serving non-federal sentences. 348.Finally, works were carried out to modernize and expand the prison system. For instance, the Inspectorate-General of the Women's Rehabilitation Centre installed bunk beds in cellblocks B, C and D, adding 75 additional spaces, raising the total capacity of the prison from 259 to 334. This made a major contribution to combating overcrowding at the prison. 349.On the other hand, the Ministry of Public Security of the state government of Baja California has established and upgraded the general conditions of detention in the state’s prison population. 350.The modernization has clearly helped to improve the state prison system. We have introduced real and radical changes by improving the infrastructure, consolidating effective prison security systems, enforcing prison regulations and simplifying administrative procedures. The Development Plan 2008–2013 provides for an upgrade of the prison system to ensure respect for the law, human rights and effective social reintegration. The benefits of modernizing the prison system include proper installations and a healthy environment allowing us to enhance prisoners’ job, personal, family and social skills. 351.There follows a list of prison infrastructure work carried out and planned with a view to improving detention conditions in Baja California. 352.Work carried out: Extension of the "El Hongo" Social Rehabilitation Centre; Construction and commissioning of the "El Hongo II" Social Rehabilitation Centre; Extension of the "El Hongo II" Social Rehabilitation Centre; Construction of the "El Hongo III" Social Rehabilitation Centre; Construction of a provisional detention centre for Mexicali; Construction of entrance and screening building at the Tijuana Social Reintegration Centre, and Extension of the Juvenile Diagnosis Centre in Tijuana. 353.Work planned for the period 2011–2013: Construction of a provisional detention centre for Ensenada; Construction of a temporary shelter for released prisoners in the town of El Hongo; Extension of the Juvenile Enforcement Centre in Mexicali, and Construction of a provisional detention centre for Tijuana. 354.On the issue of overpopulation and overcrowding in prisons, we would point out that one of the priority responsibilities of the State Prison System under the Ministry of Public Security of Baja California, is to provide adequate decent, functional, secure and sanitary conditions in detention centres. To achieve this, there is a need for spaces and facilities offering reintegration programmes and activities. 355.In this regard, pursuant to the National Development Plan 2007–2012, an agreement was signed for upgrading the penitentiary system of Baja California, to support the adaptation of prison facilities with installations suitable for running social reintegration programmes. Accordingly, the capacity of the "El Hongo" Social Rehabilitation Centre was expanded by constructing a new building for 504 inmates, with a new movement control centre, adjacent corridors with a metal structure and two new multi-purpose halls. This new building will house inmates with a specific risk profile. 356.The Baja California authorities also extended the "El Hongo II" Social Rehabilitation Centre by building two cell blocks for 504 inmates each, adding a total of 1,008 new spaces to bring the capacity up to 4,608 inmates. These buildings have their own refectories, sports fields, fences and movement-control walkways. Two two-storey buildings for educational activities were attached to each cell block: three classrooms, a library and spaces for cultural and artistic activities, designed to provide inmates with tools that will facilitate their reintegration into a productive life. 357.Workshops were also built, four measuring 200 square meters and six 400 of square meters, which help to enhance job training and implement production projects.
