The Department of Justice confirmed that two suicides took place in Figueres between February and March, while a third occurred in Granollers. Officials stated that two of the individuals were being held in high-security isolation units at the time of their deaths.
“"Any suicide in a penitentiary center is a failure."
Human rights groups and the OSPDH observatory have criticized the increased use of isolation, calling for more transparency. Meanwhile, the Sicap Fepol union has demanded the resignation of the Director General of Prisons, Domingo Estepa, citing severe understaffing and political mismanagement.
