CAT/OP/BRA/2/Add.1 62. Lastly, a few words should be said about the proposal to standardize reports by the executive branch and the judiciary. Several bodies are responsible for conducting regular visits to places of deprivation of liberty. Thus, in order to simplify the process of information exchange between institutions and to help consolidate their information, it was proposed to establish a standard report model.

This planning tool, which links the Federal Government and state prison administrations through the Ministry of Justice, was introduced in 2007 and has been adopted by all federal entities. 65. The first step in implementing the Master Plan was the publication of Resolution No. 1/2008 by the National Council on Criminal and Penitentiary Policy, defining the criteria for releasing resources from the National Prison Fund (annex VI). The Resolution stipulates that the release of financial resources by the Federal Government shall be contingent on the drafting of master plans by the federal entities and subsequent compliance with the time frame established in each state plan. 66. Based on the Master Plan, each federal state, in conjunction with the Federal Government, set specific time frames and objectives, with quantifiable goals and provision for monitoring, as follows: 16 16 The National System for Information on Public Security, Prisons and Drugs was set up under Act No. 12681 of 4 July 2012, for the storage, processing and compilation of data and information in order to help form, implement, carry out, monitor and evaluate policies on public security, the prison system, the enforcement of prison sentences and efforts to combat trafficking in crack and other illicit drugs.
