Annual Report 2014 of the National Preventive Mechanism Recommendation of 19 September 2014. Carry out internal investigations in the case of deaths, complaints of ill-treatment or cases of special interest by specialised personnel not on the payroll of the penitentiary centre where the facts occurred, a criterion of this institution repeated in the annual reports of the Ombudsman and paragraph 131 of Annual Report 2013. Such investigations should be exhaustive, independent from the judgment of truth that the Authority may have on a first analysis, hearing the version of the inmates –if appropriate– in an environment that generates trust in the person explaining the problem, and permitting him to file and/or request evidence. Recommendation of 19 September 2014. Give guidelines to the penitentiary centres, in the case of suspicion that the inmates may carry drugs, to apply only very founded and restrictive grounds to carry out radiological controls, studying the possible alternatives and weighing up the risk/benefit in each case, since it is a measure of control of a medical nature but adopted for regimental reasons and taking into account that various documents –such as Directive 97/43/Euratom, of the Council of the European Union-, on the protection of health from risks arising from ionising radiation in medical exposures and the Guidelines on indications for the correct application of diagnostic imaging tests of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for the Environment establish that unnecessary exposure to radiation should be reduced, according to the criterion of this institution set out in paragraph 103 of Annual Report 2013 Recommendation of 19 September 2014. Give the appropriate instructions to penitentiary centres so that, when it is considered that sufficient reasons exist to carry out the radiological control and the inmate does not voluntarily consent, the compulsory court order should be requested, without its being possible to consider that the consent of the inmate to such test, granted to suspend mechanical immobilisation, is free, in line with the criterion of this institution set out in paragraph 104 of Annual Report 2013 Recommendation of 19 September 2014. Give the appropriate guidelines to penitentiary centres for them, in the request for a court order for the performance of radiological controls, information be included both on the tests of the same kind made on the inmate in the past year and their results, and on the risks and consequences of the test to be performed, and any other information that may be relevant Recommendation of 21 March 2014. Adopt the measures necessary to afford the organisational structure of the Penitentiary Psychiatric Hospitals of Seville and Fontcalent (Alicante) a more healthcare nature, for such centres to be similar to hospital institutions Recommendation of 21 March 2014. Increase the healthcare personnel of the Penitentiary Psychiatric Hospitals of Seville and Fontcalent (Alicante), to reinforce the possibilities of carrying out individual actions and rehabilitation activities 140 REJECTED ACCEPTED BUT NOT IMPLEMENTED REJECTED ACCEPTED BUT NOT IMPLEMENTED PENDING PENDING
