and recommending “glasses with organic lenses” for distance vision, for the “only functionally useful eye (the right eye).” 125 Based on this examination, that same day, the National Judiciary’s Forensic Physician sent a report to National Execution of Sentence Court No. 2, in which he concluded that “the consequences of the disease […] could be managed more appropriately outside the prison.” 126 102. On June 17, 2011, National Execution of Sentence Court No. 2 considered that “the medical reports [were] conclusive as regards the delicate health of [Lucas Matías Mendoza], his acute and irreversible medical condition, [and …] the increased effects caused by suffering this in a prison establishment.” Taking this into account, approximately 13 years after being hit by a ball that resulted in a retinal detachment, the court ordered his house arrest so that, in this way, he could continue serving the life sentence that had been imposed. 127 F. Detention conditions in the Mendoza provincial prisons, the death of Ricardo David Videla Fernández, and its investigation F.1. Situation of violence in the Mendoza provincial prisons 103. In the context of the request for provisional measures filed by the Inter-American Commission on October 14, 2004, in favor of those detained in the Mendoza Provincial Prison, among other matters, the Argentine State acknowledged that the situation inside the prison, which included a high rate of violent deaths, was “critical,” and provided information on the measures it was implementing to safeguard the life and integrity of the inmates, such as regular inspections in order to find objects that could be used as weapons. 128 The Inter-American Court ordered the adoption of provisional measures in the Order of November 22, 2004, and this decision was reiterated by the Court in its Orders of June 18, 2005, March 30, 2006, and November 27, 2007, because it considered that the situation of extreme gravity and urgency subsisted within this prison. It should be noted that, in an official document signed by the State, the Inter-American Commission, and the representatives of the beneficiaries of the provisional measures on the occasion of the public hearing held in Asuncion, Paraguay, on May 11, 2005, Argentina undertook, inter alia, to create an ad hoc Investigation Committee “in order to investigate the acts of violence and deaths that had occurred in the prisons of the province of Mendoza between January 2004 […] and [that] date,” and “to take measures in order to seize weapons of any type that might be found in the establishments, [… and] to prevent the clandestine entry of weapons […].” 129 The provisional measures remained in force until November 26, 2010, when they were lifted following “the adoption of several decisions at the domestic level that ha[d] ordered the rectification of the situation in the Mendoza Prisons.” 130 125 Cf.
