Ruiz-Almengor and Rodríguez-Lara inasmuch as “the special regime to which they are subject has not been modified.” In particular, as regards the prison conditions under which Mr. Rodríguez-Lara is serving his sentence, they stated that they “are the same as those that the Court […] found to be incompatible with Article 5 of the Convention […] in the Case of Fermín Ram[í]rez,” and; therefore, as a provisional measure, “the State should be ordered to adopt the necessary measures for such conditions to cease and for the beneficiaries to be provided with a work, education [and] outdoor exercise program.” As regards Mr. RuizAlmengor, the representatives stated, inter alia, that “it is not true” that his cell “has a yard; therefore, he is kept in total and continuous confinement 24 hours a day.” 10.

Therefore, the State was required to appoint a public official whose acts command full faith and credit to conduct an inspection of the detention centers where Messrs. Ruiz-Almengor and Rodríguez-Lara are held to certify: i) the condition of their cells, especially their size, the number of inmates being housed in such cells, the ventilation and access to natural light, and the fixtures and furnishings of the cells; ii) the sanitary facilities available for the beneficiaries, access to them, their condition, the water supply to the beneficiaries for drinking and personal hygiene and the articles provided to them for personal hygiene; iii) food supply, especially quality and quantity of meals and meal times; iv) medical care and medication provided to the beneficiaries; v) work, educational, sport and recreational activities performed by the beneficiaries, and vi) any other aspect as the public official may deem relevant. 12.

Ruiz-Almengor and Rodríguez-Lara are serving their sentences; ii) two certificates showing that Mr. Ruiz-Almengor “is registered in the work assignment and control records,” but “he is not registered in the educational program record,” and iii) certified documents issued by a public official whose acts command full faith and credit, as requested by the President of the Court (supra Having Seen clause No. 11), certifying the prison conditions under which both prisoners are being held. 13. The communication of the representatives of January 23, 2007, whereby they pointed out several inconsistencies between the report prepared by the Prison System Office and the certified documents issued by the aforesaid public official (supra Having Seen clause No. 12).
