A/HRC/16/52/Add.3 117. A detainee, aged 35, had been beaten daily by the correctional officers. One of the officers had taken everything from his cell during a search, but the search had not been supervised by any other officers. He had been beaten on the stomach with a baton, and slapped on his face in early January. He had been at St. Catherine for ten years, and expected to be released in June 2010. 118. A detainee, aged approximately 50, HIV positive and homosexual, had been charged for a murder and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. He always received his medicine but reported that because he complained that he was not getting the special diet he needed, he was beaten by a warder who broke one of his ribs. Warders would often enter his cell and insult him. He was also very scared of other detainees because of the heavy discrimination against homosexuals. In church they had a special section for homosexuals. If they sat on other benches, they were beaten by the others. Because of this stigma homosexuals were also prevented from doing many activities. Many detainees spent many more years in jail than what they were sentenced for because their parole hearings were constantly postponed. 119. D.S., aged 62, had been held in a single cell for the last six months. He was unhappy about being alone in a cell but he appreciated that he was in the special wing for his own safety. The quality of the food was bad. At 9 a.m. each day he was allowed to be out of his cell for half an hour; at 2 p.m. he could go out for one hour. He was beaten by officers at the beginning, but not anymore. However, detainees who got violent were subdued by the guards. 120. A detainee had been in St. Catherine for eight years. He had been beaten by the officers about five or six years before. The officers treated the inmates like scum. He did not get along with other people because of a medical condition and was therefore put in a single cell in the special wing. He felt it was a privilege to be in a single cell and had a radio to keep him company. There was no activity for the detainees except for going to church, which he did three to four times per week. 121. F.D., aged 44, was detained in a dark, single cell. Because he did not receive any visits he had no money to buy a light bulb. He did not dare to ask for one because he was not sure whether it was allowed to have light in the cell. He was HIV positive and received some medication, although not regularly. In October or November 2009 he was beaten with a baton on his stomach, back and mouth by a warder for the possession of an illegal weapon. His teeth were still shaking from the beatings. He did not see a doctor and did not lodge a complaint. In 2008 he was beaten with a baton on his arms and legs by a warder because he was suspected of having traded marijuana. He saw a medical officer and limped for a while because of the beatings. He liked to be in a single cell because he was afraid that the other inmates would kill him for having had sex with a minor. 122. Nicholas McIntosh and other detainees complained about discrimination of homosexuals, who were segregated and had no access to church, the gym, school and other common activities. Gibraltar 1, Death row 123. Massi Nissa Adams, aged 27, had been condemned to death on 11 November 2009. He was arrested in 2005 and first detained at Kingston Central Police Station before being transferred to the Horizon Remand Centre in 2005, where he was kept in SP 13 and SP 18 for four years prior to his sentencing. He was not beaten at St. Catherine; he could only go outside to the yard for one hour each day. With regard to visits, there was one visit every two weeks, and the visits only lasted between three and five minutes. He had no possibility to contact his family by telephone. When he was allowed outside his cell, he could only meet the other five death row prisoners. His sentence was being appealed. 44
