avoid undue or illegal internment, as well as calling for a joint effort to reduce the number of adolescents deprived of liberty. The graph below shows the downward trend in the pace of the internment growth rate in recent years: 139.Another Federal Government initiative is the establishment of the National Network for the Defense of Adolescents in Conflict with the Law, consisting of representatives from the State Public Defenders Offices, Defense Centers, and Relatives Associations to guarantee the technical defense and the follow-up of adolescents under social-educative measures. 140.Brazil develops several strategies for the ongoing training of teams that provide social-educative care. To this effect, training centers have been established in partnership with universities and government schools, with actions aimed at professionals that work with social-educative programmes under semi-open and closed regimes. The SINASE schools follow a Training Matrix with ten modules of 160 hours. The matrix is also used for distance training (EAD) through a portal maintained in partnership with the University of Brasilia. During the 2009-2011 period, 24 agreements were signed for the training of 13,765 professionals, at a cost of R$11 million. The new edition of the EAD modality, to start in August 2012, expects the participation of over 5,000 professionals in basic training, with the development of a specific programme for 800 technical professionals, focused on the management of socialeducative programmes. 141.Lastly, with respect to the Justice system, the SINASE Law stresses the need for technical defense of adolescents throughout all phases. The Public Defender Offices in the states are endeavoring to create and structure specialized centers, with Federal Government support, to care for adolescents that break the law. In this connection, 15 agreements were signed between 2009 and 2011 with Public Defender Offices and Centers for the Defense of Children and Adolescents (CEDECAS), totaling R$2.5 million. I.Treatment of drug addiction (a)The crack plan– Crack can be beaten 142.Decree no. 7179/2010 established an Integrated Plan to Combat Crack and Other Drugs, aimed at preventing use, treating users and reintegrating them into society, and at combating crack and other illicit drugs. This Plan calls for ongoing coordination of policies on health, social welfare, public security, education, culture, and youth, among other policies, consistently with the assumptions, guidelines, and objectives of the National Policy on Drugs. 143.The “Crack can beaten” Plan is providing R$4.0 billion for priority actions in 14 capitals. It calls for integrated, coordinated actions with the direct participation of the Ministries of Heath, Social Welfare, Justice, Human Rights, and Education, coordinated by the Civil Cabinet at the Presidency of the Republic. The Plan’s pillars are Care, Prevention, and Authority. The first refers to the expansion and qualification of services in the areas of health and social welfare aimed at users and their families. The second pillar refers to support for technical work in the areas of health and social welfare, and intelligence in combating trafficking and traffickers, with intensified action in big centers and in border zones. It also calls for the requisite changes in the law for combating drugs. The third pillar calls for extensive training and qualification of Social Workers, Security Agents, and Educators and students through both live attendance and distance courses. 144.The Plan’s targets up to 2014 are as follows: Implementation of 234 new “Street Consultation Offices,” thereby increased the network’s current 76 to 308 by 2014. Addition of 2460 new beds for the specialized infirmaries and upgrading of 1.142 of the 4.121 existing beds. Implementation of 408 new Adults Shelter Units, thereby increasing their number from 22 to 430. Implementation of 166 new Children-Adolescents Shelter Units, thereby increasing their number from 22 to 188 by 2014. Implementation of 41 new24-hour CAPS-ad 24h by 2014 and [CAP-ad = Psychosocial Care Center for drug addicts] changing the existing 134 into CAPS-ad into 24-hour ones in 2012 (b)Comprehensive health care for offenders with mental disabilities 145.The third edition of the National Human Rights Plan (PNDH-3), Guideline 16 –Strategic Objective III lists as one strategic action the establishment of guidelines to guarantee adequate treatment of persons with mental disabilities, consistently with the deinstitutionalization principle. In this connection, the First and Second National Encounters on the Care of Persons under Security Measure were held, both promoted by the Federal Attorney’ Office for Citizen’s Rights and the Ministry of Health. These Encounters purported to gather inputs for the definition of specific norms for caring for persons deprived of liberty at Custody and Psychiatric Treatment Hospitals-HCTPs; the definition of social reintegration alternatives for internees of HCTPs; and show how to train multipliers of the inter-sectorial approach to the care of people under security measure in the 17 states that have HCTPs. 146.Inter-ministerial Administrative Rule no. 1.777/2003, which establishes the National Health Plan in the Penitentiary System, points to the need for a specific document setting norms and guidelines for Comprehensive Care of Offenders with Mental Disabilities. Conscious of the urgency of discussing and drafting such a document, consistently with STP’s recommendation, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Justice drafted a proposal based on Law 10.216/2001 on psychiatric reform and on the National Conference on Mental Health Report, which indicates that the Unified Health System-SUS, more specifically the Mental Health Care Network, should be responsible for the treatment of persons subject to security measures. 147.To elicit contributions and learn the perspectives of the different segments involved with the subject, in 2012, the Ministries of Health and of Justice gave instructions to the Commission on Comprehensive Care of Persons Held Under Security Measures, an offshoot of the Inter-sectorial Technical Committee on Health in Prisons, in which participate the Ministries of Health, of Justice, and
