45 five years had elapsed since the judgment of October 2, 2002 was handed down, and therefore this judgment was vacated.298 8.2. CAI La Reforma prison facilities 177. Damas Vega and other individuals deprived of liberty filed a complaint with the Ministry of Justice and the Office of the Comptroller of Services alleging that on July 20, 2006, a search was conducted in which they were subjected to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, as well as acts of sexual violence.299 On July 18, 2007, the Court of Sentence Execution of Alajuela found it did not have jurisdiction to hear claims on these crimes because it found that it is not its duty but instead is the duty of the Legal Department of the Ministry of Justice and Grace.300 Next, on May 7, 2009, the Department of Administrative Proceedings of the Ministry of Justice and Grace ruled it is unable to prove responsibility of any of the prison guards and therefore it is not appropriate to impose any sanction. It also noted that there is no certainty that the crimes that are the subject of the instant proceeding have actually taken place.301 178. On September 22, 2006, the Constitutional Chamber dismissed the petition for constitutional relief on amparo filed by Mr. Damas Vega against the director and other officials of CAI La Reforma prison.302 The alleged victim contended that he has not had access to medical care nor has he received treatment for his condition as a diabetic. The Constitutional Chamber noted that “it is evident that (…) he has received periodical medical care.”303 179. On October 2, 2006, Mr. Vega filed a grievance with the Sentence Execution Judge, calling attention to the poor food provided at the CAI La Reforma prison.304 On March 15, 2007, the Sentence Execution Court denied said grievance on the grounds that “the quantities and types of foods provided to prisoners are appropriate.”305 It found that there is no “inadequate management in the preparation of food for the population deprived of liberty.”306 298 Annex 138.
