5 x. xi. State’s role in prison matters, and negative events associated with the prison system have been reported very unfavorably; On February 2, 2011, an irregular situation occurred at the Ciudad Bolívar Detention Center that left five dead and one wounded; The information presented by the petitioners mentions one person as deceased who is alive and detained in the respective judicial detention center. f) On April 7, 2011, the Standing Committee on Worship and the Penitentiary Regime held a working meeting in the Ciudad Bolívar Detention Center with the participation of the President of the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Worship and the Penitentiary Regime, officials from the Ministry of People's Power for Internal Relations and Justice, regional authorities associated with the prison problems, and representatives of the inmates (next of kin), in order to gain firsthand knowledge of the particular problems in this prison. 8.

It is not a question of statistics, but rather of dangerous conditions and extreme lack of security. In this regard, the extreme gravity and urgency, as well as the risk of irreparable damage, arise from the central fact that, in recent years and up to the present day, those who are in the custody of the State continue to lose their life; d) The State did not refer clearly to each of the violent events in question or to the efforts made to identify the determining factors in order to adopt effective measures to prevent their repetition.
