A/HRC/16/52/Add.3 52. Joel Andam was serving two 20 year sentences and would be eligible for parole after 20 years. He had been in a single cell at Horizon since 26 May 2004. He was locked up all day, except for a daily ten-minute shower. He added that he had only been outside on a few occasions. He had been in the same cell since August 2009, and he complained that it was too hot because it was right underneath the roof. His cell was infested with cockroaches. He showed a document to the Special Rapporteur indicating that he had been beaten. The detainees in his floor had been protesting against the 23-hour lockup since 7 February. On 10 and 11 February, they were not given food or water, and they were not allowed to shower because they refused to clean up the trash and faeces they had thrown on the corridor as a sign of protest. They were given water on 12 February, and were given food and allowed to shower on the 13th. He complained that there were no fixed rules and that the treatment depended on the mood of the staff. He could receive visits on Thursdays for 15 minutes. In the past, it was possible to buy food from the tuck shop, but recently he could only do so three times per week. He was able to communicate with other prisoners because the corridor in front of his cell opened onto the cells below. Crossroads Police Station Visited on 15 February 2010 General information 53. The Special Rapporteur was received by Sergeant Lascelles Faulder. According to the officer on duty, the lock-up at the police station had been closed since 2007. There was only one chair with handcuffs at the reception area, where detainees were held until they were transferred to Halfway Tree Police Station. In addition, there were handcuffs attached to the handrail of the outside staircase. The Special Rapporteur assumed that persons were also kept sitting on the stairs while being handcuffed to the handrail. There were two cells in the back yard, which according to the officer were no longer used because they were not suitable for detainees, mainly due to poor ventilation. The police station was not on the list of lock-ups provided to the Special Rapporteur on Torture by the Ministry of National Security. A man who had been working for many years at the police station told the Special Rapporteur that sometimes the police still kept detainees in the lock-ups for short periods. The last time somebody had been detained was around Christmas 2009. The Special Rapporteur could smell recent urine in one of the cells although there was a wellfunctioning toilet just next to the lock-up. The Special Rapporteur concluded that the cells were still used sometimes, though illegally. There were no custody records available.
