Annual Report 2013 of the National Preventive Mechanism Training of inmates to support to the unit for persons with disabilities 136. It was observed that the inmates engaged in supporting the unit The Educational Therapeutic Unit for the treatment of drug addictions of the CP of Villabona (Asturias) 137. The Educational Therapeutic Unit for the treatment of drug addictions (UTE) is a pioneer project of the CP of Villabona (Asturias), which has extended to other centres, such as the CPs of Seville and Seville II. Since its commencement in 1991, the UTE of said CP was extended and at the time of the visit it had 5 prison units in which 3 UTEs were located. The working method consists of self-help therapeutic groups acting on cognitive-behavioural aspects in an educational area context in contrast with the traditional prison system. For such purpose, inmates must observe rules that are specified in the “therapeutic contract” that they must sign on entering the UTE. for persons with disabilities receive no training to deal with the users of the program (despite the fact that they cooperate on a permanent basis in treatment tasks with the action team). The SGIP reported that, although they do not receive formal training, support inmates are trained by the Treatment Team of the unit. In addition, at the visit it was observed that they had limited contact with inmates of other units, which would be advisable. The SGIP stated that support inmates are assisted by treatment personnel and, in the case of exhaustion, their change to other productive activities is ensured. Although the action model of the UTE has been acknowledged in various fields and is a reference for penitentiary action in Spain, during the visit it was observed that an internal reorganisation was being carried out that could imply material changes to the project, so that the Security and Justice Area of the Ombudsman’s Office commenced an action ex officio with the SGIP. Lacks in leisure and sports activities 138. With regard to leisure and sports activities, it must be pointed out Identification badge 139. During the visit to CP Segovia it was observed that certain officers did not carry the compulsory identification, which should be remedied pursuant to paragraph 125 of Annual Report 2012. The SGIP repeated to the personnel the obligation to carry the identification badge. Food as a cause for complaint 140. Inmates occasionally complain of the food. At CP Puerto I that CP Puerto I (Cádiz) does not have an occupational or sports monitor, which lack is aggravated by the fact that no NGO cooperates with the centre implementing specific programs. Accordingly, the necessary measures should be adopted to remedy the situation. (Cádiz), for example, a relevant number of inmates complained that the amount of food had decreased since a few months ago, which was confirmed by certain officers and some complaints were also received on the quality of the food, which was reported to the. At the CP of Segovia, on the other hand, the food provided by the centre was very positively valued by most of the inmates interviewed. Lacks in the videosurveillance systems 112 141. As in previous years, lacks in the coverage of the video-surveillance systems were detected at the visits, since certain departments of the centre are usually not covered by such systems, so that the criterion of this Institution, contained in paragraphs 334 and 447 of Annual Report 2010 and 120 of Annual Report 2011 had to be repeated.
