13 visit, the Commission concluded that the nonexistence of a contingency plan for violent or unforeseen situations, the lack of control of the entry and possession of knives, the insufficient and poorly trained penitentiary personnel, the failure to separate prisoners by categories, and the deficient sanitary and physical conditions, are, among other things, factors that increase the risk for individuals imprisoned or working in the detention centers. 31. The Court observes that, according to the information provided, two kinds of factual situations can be distinguished in which the lives or integrity of the inmates have been at risk or have been affected, namely, and according to seriousness: on one hand, incidents of violence, and on the other, suicides. It should be recalled that since 2005 and through the present day, serious incidents of violence have taken place and numerous individuals have died in the provincial penitentiary under circumstances that are not fully clear; that several inmates have been wounded and/or have suffered various kinds of humiliations in situations of violence that could have been prevented; that deficient detention conditions are still in place; that the investigations carried out have not produced solid results and that deficiencies in the security conditions and internal controls persist, including with regard to the entry and possession of weapons in the penitentiary facilities. During 2010, incidents of suicide and other incidents of violence have taken place in which several individuals have been injured due to fights with knives. Is reprehensible that while these provisional measures have been in effect, incidents have taken place in which the lives and integrity of individuals deprived of liberty have been irreparably affected. That is to say, it should be clarified that despite the fact that the efforts of several State authorities to improve the situation have had positive results, the provisional measures have not been completely effective. Although the incidents that supposedly took place in the Almafuerte penitentiary - highlighted by the representatives - are not the subject of these measures (supra Considering 6), the Court observes that violent deaths have taken place in that facility even though it was built by the State precisely in order to alleviate the situation of overcrowding in the other penitentiaries. This could reveal a situation in which the violence is being transferred and the situation in question is not being truly addressed. However, the Tribunal notes that currently, a significant reduction has taken place in the incidents of violent deaths in comparison with previous years. In sum, the Court notes that although incidents of violence continue to take place, the situation of prison violence has generally improved, as it has notably diminished in the last year. iii) On the request to lift the measures submitted by the State 32. The State has requested on several occasions since December of 2008 (supra Having Seen 11) that these provisional measures be lifted on considering that the situation originating the measures has disappeared. The State indicated that "the specific actions taken by the Provincial State toward addressing the overcrowding, the separation of inmates into categories, and the training and noteworthy increase in the number of penitentiary personnel and education, among other things, [have] been demonstrated. [These elements] have tended to diminish intra-prison violence and ensure the physical integrity of inmates, preventing incidents of violence thereby also protecting the physical integrity of penitentiary personnel." It highlighted that since the six deaths that took place during the fire in 2004 in the Gustavo André Prison Colony, incidents of violence have not been repeated in that facility, and a sprinkler system has been installed there as well. The State also highlighted the increase in the number of penitentiary officers since 2004 to
