Annual Report 2016 - Spain’s National Preventive Mechanism against Torture Barcelona CEI in two of its three existing wards. Installation work was ongoing at the Madrid CIE at the time of our visit and is expected to end in early 2017. At the Murcia CIE, and at the remaining ward in Barcelona, installation of the system is pending a budgetary assignment. Mechanical opening of Valencia CIE rooms 47. Of the four CIEs visited, only Murcia still lacks a washer and dryer Washer and dryer machine, so inmates do not have to wash their clothes in the courtyard §124 AR 2014 sinks and hang them out to dry in their rooms or on the fences. The manager of the centre has told us that they were examining the possibility of outsourcing the service, as it was not feasible on site (due to a lack of space and staff). During our last visit made to the Valencia CIE, we were able to verify the installation of a washer and dryer. Inmate clothes and shoes §125 AR 2014 48. There is still no budgetary assignment enabling the authorities to provide adequate inmate clothing and shoes as necessary. We were able to ascertain at the Madrid CIE that basic kits were handed over, as well as other clothing that the Red Cross could occasionally provide. At the other CIEs visited, available clothes or shoes are provided through the Red Cross or an NGO. 56
