ANALYSIS: Right to Humane Treatment 35 2. Pre-Natal Service The Rules require that in women’s institution, there shall be special accommodation for all necessary pre-natal and post-natal care and treatment. 157 Although pregnant and lactating detainees were rarely documented during the CHR visits, it was noted that generally police stations have no provision for pre-natal services to pregnant PDL, as well as post-natal services. 158 It was also observed that in some lock-up cells, pregnant detainees are not given the needed medical attention, 159 thus, the CHR team advised the Station Commander to refer the pregnant detainees for pre-natal or medical check-up. 160 3. Engagement with Social Worker and Psychologist The Rules require that at every institution, there shall be available services of at least one qualified medical officer who should have knowledge of psychiatry. The medical services should be organized in close relationship with the general health administration of the community or nation, which shall include a psychiatric service for the diagnosis and, in proper cases, the treatment of states of mental abnormality. 161 Thus, engagement with social worker and/or psychologist is an important aspect in the lives of the detainees. In the sense that detainees may experience mental or emotional stress that may not be perceptible at all because mental soundness assessment is beyond the expertise of police officers to determine. The unpredictability of human behaviour conservatively becomes a concern especially with those who are not visited by families or friends. In QCPD-Anonas PS, the use inside detention facility of belts and other objects that may be used in committing suicide is prohibited. In another case in MPD-HQ, PDL with intellectual disability, who was previously confined at NCMH for more than a month, was not referred to a psychologist to evaluate his condition. Unfortunately, in some lock-up cells, jailers or police officers do not have engagement with social worker/psychologist. 162 157 Rule23(1), UN SMRTP SPD-Taguig City PS and Muntinlupa PS; QCPD – DAID/SOTG; NPD – Caloocan City PS 1 and Caloocan City DAID; EPD-Mandaluyong PS 3, San Juan PS 4 and Marikina City PCP 1 159 NPD-Caloocan City DAID 160 NPD-Caloocan City PS 1 161 Rule 22(1), Standard Minimum Rules 162 SPD – DSHG, Taguig City PS, Muntinlupa PS and Pateros PS; QCPD – La Loma PS 1, Masambong PS 2, Novaliches PS 4, Fairview PS 5, Project 4 PS 8, and Eastwood PS 12; and EPD – Marikina PS 158
