8 12. The observations of May 26, 2006 presented by the Commission to the second report of the State (supra Having Seen clause No. 8), whereby, after a postponement, it expressed that: a) regarding the protection obligation, the continuance of violence episodes which ended up with several people injured, the violent treatment which is still being provided to the inmates by the security personnel, and the disproportion between the number of children and youngsters detained and the number of guards, which is notoriously unequal, have led police personnel to participate in tasks related to the Compound security. The lack of information regarding training, preparation and training for the treatment and attention of adolescents in conflict with the law are facts that show that the State has not satisfactorily fulfilled the obligation to prevent the attacks against life and personal integrity; b) regarding the obligation to provide humane treatment to the young detainees, the State has omitted any comments on eventual investigations or sanctions regarding to violence acts perpetrated by the institution’s personnel in detriment of the children and adolescents deprived of liberty. No specific provisions have been taken in order to prevent children and adolescents detained in the Complex from being submitted to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, among which lasting confinement and physical mistreatment are included; c) regarding the specific obligations imposed by the Court, regarding to the institution security: i) (decrease of overcrowding): in a visit made by the Rapporteur on the Rights of Persons Deprived of Liberty of the Inter-American Commission, it was noticed that an average of six inmates shared each one of the small cells, without enough light or fresh air; ii) (weapons seizure): the searches performed with the support of the Military Police is not adequate, as this security body is not duly trained to deal with detained children and adolescents. Furthermore, the searches activity is questionable, based on the public information regarding the security crisis of São Paulo; iii) (inmates classification): there is no classification among the young detainees according to age or to the nature of the offense committed, and iv) (medical attention): youngsters who are victims of mistreatment by the institution officers do not receive any medical attention; several inmates have chronic diseases and do not receive any medicine, and psychological assistance is deficient. d) regarding to the forwarding of an updated list of the inmates, the State has fulfilled what has been ordered by the Court, and e) regarding to the investigation of the events, it has expressed its concern regarding the lack of information on the present state of the investigations referring to the violence incidents which served as precedent
