Behind-the-scenes look at inside Middlesbrough custody suite cells
It's part of our news special all this week
We are highlighting what it is like when you get put into a cell at Middlesbrough custody suite.
We told you yesterday the town's police station takes in 44 people who have been arrested every day.
Chief Inspector John Dodsworth said: "Everyone in a cell is told there's CCTV in the cells, they're made aware of the cell buzzer capability so if they do need something they can buzz the staff in-between that period. Some people will abuse it but nonetheless we have to answer the cell buzzer just to make sure people are fine, so the cell buzzers will light a telly up at the front and it'll tell you which cell is going, so it might say 'cell 26' they'll know which one to come down to straight away.
"From the outside you've got what's known as the spyhole and then you've got a drop hatch so your spyhole will give you limited visibility. You might have people that spit, might want to throw things out but the best is to obviously come into the cell and see them.
"You'll see that every single door has got its own individual store room where we'll store medication, sanitary products, footwear and ordinarily we'll write their names on the doors as well so they know who they're visiting, so the staff member can come down on first name terms, so we allow that interaction with them versus 'what's your name? How are you doing? I've come to check on you'.
"We'll always give people an opportunity to go out into the yard to get some exercise and fresh air but the maximum period of detention is 24-hours under what's called a PACE clock. However, for particular serious offences that can be extended up to 12 hours to 36 by a superintendent and then even fruther by magistrates' warrants, so you can be here for 24 hours if not longer."
