Annual Report 2013 of the National Preventive Mechanism at CP Puerto III (Cádiz)), the SGIP reported that the inmate was immobilised to prevent him from causing himself damage, after other measures had been adopted. Recommendation for informed consent to make radiological explorations 105. Said Instruction 3/2011 contemplates in annex 6 (a) a document of informed consent of exploration using radiology/echography that, nevertheless, includes no information on the test that is to be made. Although they have limited effects on health, radiological explorations are not innocuous measures so that a Recommendation has been made for the document of informed consent of the SGIP to be amended for radiological explorations for them to be informed in writing, in comprehensible terms for them and sufficiently and adequately, for greater safeguard of the rights of the inmates, of the nature and effects of the radiological test that it is intended to perform on them and of the consequences that the carriage of foreign bodies or narcotic substances in their body may have. The SGIP reported that it will review said documents. Information on the risks and consequences of the tests 106. In addition, in the opinion of this Institution, the request to the Rest between different isolation penalties 107. In respect of the serving of disciplinary penalties, in the review Reporting to the penitentiary surveillance judge 100 penitentiary surveillance judge for a court order for radiological exploration should contain information on the risks and consequences of the test to be performed on the inmate, the specific reasons for which such test is requested, the tests of the same kind that have been performed on him in the last year and their result, and any other information that may be relevant. The SGIP answered that information on the performance of previous radiological tests on the inmates will be included. of the information at CP Puerto I (Cádiz) it was observed that, where various isolation penalties are imposed which joined imply more than 14 days of isolation, they are served consecutively, the second commencing on the day after the first one ends. This practice was also observed in certain isolated cases at CPs Puerto III (Cádiz) and Villabona (Asturias). This Institution considers that, for the benefit of the inmates, at least one day of rest should be allowed between these penalties, where they imply more than 14 days of isolation. 108. In respect of the notice to the penitentiary surveillance judge of the application of coercive measures, at CP Puerto I (Cádiz) it was observed that it is made at the earliest on the day after the measure, contravening article 72 RP, which establishes that it should be made immediately. In addition, at said centre, three cases of employment of essential physical force were observed in which apparently the date and time of cessation were not duly recorded, so that we are unaware of whether they were correctly reported to the penitentiary surveillance judge, a fact that was reported to the SGIP.
