Long-term deprivation of liberty I.3.2.  Military prison facilities 58.  After the visit made to the Alcalá de Henares Military Prison Facility (Madrid) in 2010, the NPM returned to this facility in 2015. 4 suggestions were put forward as a result of said visit, which are highlighted below and have been accepted. Suggestions accepted by Military CP Entrance to the Alcalá de Henares (Madrid) Military Prison Facility 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. Regulation governing Military 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. Suicide prevention protocol §82 and 208 AR 2014 61
