In addition, they requested the removal of the Prison Director and the Captain in charge of the Bolivarian National Guard, among other measures. The information recently provided by the representatives also refers to the events which occurred at El Rodeo III Capital Judicial Confinement Center on July 18 and 19, 2012, during which six inmates were shot with pellets and more than 600 inmates sewed their mouths shut to initiate a hunger strike "to protest against the abuse inflicted by the Prison Director and during the transfer attempts”. 6. In the present case, and in view of the facts mentioned, the representatives requested the expansion of the provisional measures ordered in favor of El Rodeo III Capital Judicial Confinement Center in order to protect those incarcerated and avoid irreparable damage to the life and personal integrity of these inmates. In this respect, the representatives explained that "El Rodeo" Capital Judicial Confinement Center is made up of: Rodeo I, Rodeo II and Rodeo III. They expressed that, even though it is true that El Rodeo III is not formally protected by the provisional measures of this Court, according to information directly obtained from conversations with the relatives of the inmates, approximately ninety percent (90%) of the inmates who are currently confined at El Rodeo III Judicial Confinement Center, come from El Rodeo II Capital Judicial Confinement Center and that their relocations took place as a result of the events that occurred in June 2011, when the population of El Rodeo II was vacated. 7. In fact, on July 6, 2011, the Court issued an Order as a result of the prevailing situation at El Rodeo I and El Rodeo II Capital Judicial Confinement Center since June 12, 2011, the date a riot was recorded, allegedly provoked by a change of power amongst the imprisoned population, which caused the death of inmates and people present therein, as well as injured parties.

In this vein, the Court points out that some beneficiaries are at penitentiary centers whose population is also subject to protective measures. 12. Concerning those people who have been transferred to penitentiary centers that are not the subject of the present provisional measures or to health centers, in the understanding that these transfers are temporary, as indicated by the State –approximately 15 days until “a series of modifications” are made “to the physical structure of the [J]udicial [C]onfinement [C]enter” - the latter must immediately and effectively adopt all the measures necessary to guarantee said people their rights to life and humane treatment, until they are relocated to the El Rodeo I and El Rodeo II Capital Judicial Confinement Center or the State reports that their transfer is final. 8. Thus, in a report presented after said Order (supra having seen paragraph 4), the State communicated that "on July 13, 2011, the military intervention at two Confinement Centers [Rodeo I and Rodeo II] terminated and the authorities proceeded to transfer most of the inmates from El Rodeo Ii Capital Judicial Confinement Center to El Rodeo III Confinement Center”, other inmates were sent to other prisons on the grounds of “disciplinary transfers”.
