Rejection of dinner for not
being heated
At the visit made to the station of the CNP of the Ciudad Lineal District of Madrid, the three detainees who had spent the night at these
facilities stated that they had refused dinner because it had not been
heated. The DGP reported that due instructions had been given to
correct this deficiency.
complaints as to the food kits provided by the CNP, which does not
occur in the case of the detainees at the facilities of the GC, where
food is provided from close by restaurant establishments. At the visit
made to the Superior Headquarters of the CNP in Toledo, one detainee
stated that he was diabetic and the packed food he had been provided
with was inadequate for him. This was confirmed by the custody officers who even stated that they had given the detainee a piece of fruit
that he had rejected. His custody form recorded that, at 8:40 h., on 29
October, this person had refused his breakfast (“he does not wish to
have breakfast”). Nevertheless, the form did not record either the lunch
or dinner of the 28th or that the detainee had refused to eat these two
times. The DGP reported that no diet for diabetics is contracted with
the company that supplies the catering service, but that adequate food
is supplied from close by hospitality establishments, as is also done
for persons with allergies.
