Arévalo” (Arévalo, Ávila)
The Healthcare Centre “El Pinar” (Teruel) had a cared for aspect and
was in a good state of cleanliness and tidiness. The structure should
be adapted to the needs of the inmates, particularly in those areas
in which self-injuries or suicide attempts would be easier: doors with
metal corners, windows with broken bars, metal structures on ceilings, etc. In addition, although it was reported that, in good weather
conditions, the detainees take walks in the gardens of the centre, the
gardens are not provided with outdoor facilities permitting rehabilitation activities to be performed in the open air, which would be advisable. The Department of Healthcare, Social Welfare and Family of the
General Deputation of Aragon stated that the appropriate measures
had been adopted to renovate certain structures, and that a plan for
psycho-physical activities out of doors had been started.
