72 197(48) The transfers both to the hospital and to other criminal centers were done in trucks, where the inmates, including those that were injured, were thrown one on top of another. During said transfers they were beaten and insulted.85 197(49) Some of the injured inmates were transferred to the Police Sanity Hospital. Once there, their clothes were taken off and they were forced to remain without clothes for almost the entirety of the time they were in the hospital, which in some cases went on for several days and in others for weeks. In some cases they were given a robe after fifteen days had gone by, when they were transferred to the criminal centers where they were relocated. In the Hospital armed individuals, who were apparently members of the State’s security forces, surrounded them. The female inmates were not allowed to shower, they were covered with only a sheet, and in some cases when they wanted to use the bathroom they were accompanied by an armed guard, who would not let them close the door and was pointing their weapon at them while they did their physiological needs.86 197(50) When she arrived at the Police Sanity Hospital one of the inmates was subject to a finger vaginal “inspection”, performed by several hooded persons at the same time, with extreme abruptness, carried out with the excuse of examining her (infra paras. 309 through 313).87 197(51) The inmates transferred to the prisons of “Santa Mónica of Chorrillos” and of “Cristo Rey of Cachiche” were object of constant physical and psychological mistreatments. They were kept without contact with the outside world, without access to books, television, radios, or newspapers. They were not aloud to speak among themselves, read or study, or carry out manual labor of any kind, not even those that they tried to carry out with threads taken from their own clothes, with bread crumbs, or with the remains of “valvas de choro” that came in their soup. The violation of any of these prohibitions was a reason for a beating. Likewise, they did not have access to products of personal hygiene, such as soap, toilet paper, feminine pads, or additional underwear, as well as warm clothes. They remained locked up 23 hours and a half or 24 hours a day in a cell of two meters by two meters, which they shared with at least two other people. Said cells did not have access to any type of light, natural or artificial, and therefore they remained in constant darkness.
