46 Human Rights Situation in Police Lock-up Cells In addition to the Standards, the Bangkok Rules provide for the following: (a) the process in admitting women and children in detention considering their vulnerability; (b) the keeping of registers which shall include children left behind; (c) the allocation to prisons near to women’s homes; (d) provision for women’s specific hygiene; (e) health care needs including comprehensive screening to determine health care needs; (f) provisions on safety and security including during searches and the imposition of discipline and punishment; (g) contact to the outside world especially to her children; (h) institutional personnel training; and (i) provisions for juvenile prisoners. 1. Data and analysis on women To cover the situation of women under detention in police lock up cells, the research tool posed the following queries: the availability of pre-natal services and whether or not female PDL are attended to by female police or jailer. Interviews with female PDL were likewise conducted to gather insights on their conditions under detention and the issues that they face, including torture and ill-treatment. 219 1.a Absence of Pre-natal Services While the Standards unequivocally require the provision of pre and post natal services, the data showed that there is generally no provision for pre-natal care and services in the different Police Stations in NCR. A run down of all the police districts in the NCR revealed that the practice of most police stations with respect to pre and post natal services is the same with the manner it addresses the need for medical services --- the cases are referred to the nearest clinic or government hospital. This falls short with what the Standards and the Bangkok Rules require. Thus, in the few instances wherein the research team was able to chance upon a pregnant detainee, there have been complaints as well on the lack of pre-natal services and access to medical attention. 220 In NPD, particularly at Caloocan PS, a pregnant female detainee complained on the absence of pre-natal services. Having heard this, the CHR team brought the plight of the pregnant detainee to the CCPS Chief so that pre-natal check-ups may be conducted. In DAID, there is also another pregnant detainee, likewise complaining on the absence of prenatal services. Absence of pre and post natal services is likewise observed in QCPD-DAID, in the EPDMandaluyong PS and San Juan PS, as well as in SPD-Taguig City PS, and Muntinlupa City PS. As to the other requirements of the Standards like encouraging births in hospitals instead of the institutions and on the provision of a nursery with qualified staff, the CHR team was unable to gather data on the same. As with other instances requiring medical attention, it can be presumed that the process of referral to government clinics and hospitals remains to be the practice. 219 220 Three female detainees complained that they have been ill-treated by their arresting officers in Marikina PCP 1.
