58. After the visit made to the Alcalá de Henares Military Prison

59. Royal Decree 1396/1992 of November 20th, which approves the
Regulation governing Military Prison Facilities, has not been the object of the developments planned by the Ministry of Defence. The lack of
specific and updated regulatory development compels the application of
regulation produced by the Secretary-General of Prison Institutions which,
although supplementary, is not fully adapted to the characteristics of a military prison establishment. The Undersecretary of Defence accepted the
Suggestion and reported that a new suite of regulation for military Prison
Facilities is under development.

Prison Establishments
§366 AR 2010
60. Although during this visit it was verified that some improvements to
installations had been made, the programme of improvements
planned by the Ministry of Defence for the facility had not been fully
taken forward, despite the expected timeframe having passed. A Suggestion was therefore put forward. The Undersecretary of Defence
reported that the Annual Infrastructure Programme anticipated the
necessary and priority repairs.
Installations
§368 AR 2010
61. Although one of the cells had been adapted to the suicide prevention protocol, there were objects in the cell which could be used by
someone who had decided to end their life by securing a rope or other
object which enabled suspension of the body and hanging. The Suggestion to rectify these shortcomings has been accepted, which in this case
means that the inmates are accompanied by specially trained support
inmates.
