Annual Report 2013 of the National Preventive Mechanism Toilets in the leisure room of the CIE of Murcia 82 Telephone calls from outside 66. Complaints were also received from detainees in respect of telephone calls from outside. At the CIE of Madrid it was again verified that, at the timetable enabled for the purpose, the telephone of the control room was off the hook, no switchboard having been installed, as the DGP reported at the time. On the other hand, at the CIE of Murcia, no calls from outside were permitted, as they were not permitted either at the CIE of Algeciras, alleging security problems, which was corrected in the new Regulation. Use of mobile phones without cameras 67. Notwithstanding the above, as this Institution was able to verify Leisure, reading and sports material 68. It must be pointed out, as this Institution has done, that CIEs should have leisure and reading material, in addition to adequate sports material, given the free time available to detainees, who may remain in hold for up to 60 days, and the complaints as to the lack of activities and training that, in this respect, are received at the visits made to these centres, such as those made by detainees at the CIE of Murcia. at certain centres of these features in EU countries, specifically at the visit made to the Administrative Retention Centre (CRA) MESNIL AMELOT of Paris, the use of mobile phones without cameras could be permitted, which would permit detainees both to receive calls from outside and to minimise the cost currently implied for them on buying telephone cards. The use of mobile phones would imply a certain degree of control by the persons responsible for the centre, such as the obligation to return them at the established rest hours or other necessary controls to safeguard the security of certain specific detainees.
