135 a) in arriving at a figure for the compensation owed to the deceased inmates for the non-pecuniary damages they suffered,220 the Court has considered that these victims suffered inhuman prison conditions; most of these victims were children who died violent deaths while in the custody of the State. The conditions at the center caused the children fear, anguish, desperation, and a sense of powerlessness, as the situation in which they found themselves was unremitting and in all likelihood they had no hope that their lot would change in the near term. This Court has also weighed the particularly traumatic circumstances of their deaths and the fact that the majority of the deceased did not die immediately, but instead were racked with terrible pain. In the case of the injured inmates as well,221 the Court has considered the inhuman prison conditions of their internment, the severity of the injuries they sustained as a result of the fires, and that with the major injuries they sustained, their lives were in many respects unalterably changed from the normal life they might otherwise have lived; and b) in determining the compensation owed to the identified next of kin of the deceased and injured inmates, whom this Court has declared to be victims, this Court must take account of the suffering that they have endured as a direct consequence of the inmates’ injuries and/or deaths. These next of kin have experienced profound suffering and pain, detrimental to their mental and moral integrity. Moreover, the events that they had to endure caused them great pain, a sense of powerlessness, insecurity, grief and frustration, which has profoundly altered their circumstances and their family and social relations, representing a serious blow to their lifestyle. 304. For non-pecuniary damages sustained by the nine inmates who died in or as a result of the first fire, this Court awards compensation, in equity, in the amount of US$65,000.00 (sixty-five thousand United States dollars); in the cases of Benito Augusto Adorno, Héctor Ramón Vázquez and Richard Daniel Martínez, whose deaths were not attributable to the fires, the Court orders compensation for non-material damages in the amount of US$ 50,000.00 (fifty thousand United States dollars). 305. One of the criteria the Court used to compute the compensation owed to the injured former inmates was the percentage of the body that sustained burns. For these victims, the Court is awarding non-pecuniary damages, in equity, in the following amounts: US$ 50,000.00 (fifty thousand United States dollars) to whose who sustained burns over 30% or more of their body; US$ 45,000.00 (forty-five thousand United States dollars) to those who sustained burns over an area ranging from 20% but less than 30%; US$ 40,000.00 (forty thousand United States dollars) 220 Elvio Epifanio Acosta Ocampos, Marco Antonio Jiménez, Diego Walter Valdez, Sergio Daniel Vega Figueredo, Sergio David Poletti Domínguez, Mario del Pilar Álvarez Pérez, Juan Alcides Román Barrios, Antonio Damián Escobar Morinigo, Carlos Raúl de la Cruz, Benito Augusto Adorno, Richard Daniel Martínez and Héctor Ramón Vázquez. 221 Abel Achar Acuña, José Milciades Cañete Chamorro, Ever Ramón Molinas Zárate, Arsenio Joel Barrios Báez, Alfredo Duarte Ramos, Sergio Vincent Navarro Moraez, Raúl Esteban Portillo, Ismael Méndez Aranda, Pedro Iván Peña, Osvaldo Daniel Sosa, Walter Javier Riveros Rojas, Osmar López Verón, Miguel Ángel Coronel Ramírez, César Fidelino Ojeda Acevedo, Heriberto Zarate, Francisco Noé Andrada, Jorge Daniel Toledo, Pablo Emmanuel Rojas, Sixto Gonzáles Franco, Francisco Ramón Adorno, Antonio Delgado, Claudio Coronel Quiroga, Clemente Luis Escobar González, Julio César García, José Amado Jara Fernández, Alberto David Martínez, Miguel Angel Martínez, Osvaldo Mora Espinola, Hugo Antonio Vera Quintana, Juan Carlos Zarza Viveros, Eduardo Vera, Cándido Ulises Zelaya Flores, Hugo Olmedo, Oscar Rafael Aquino Acuña, Nelson Rodríguez, Demetrio Silguero, Aristides Ramón Ortiz Bernal, Carlos Raúl Romero Giacomo, Carlos Román Feris Almirón, Pablo Ayala Azola, Juan Ramón Lugo and Rolando Benítez.
