The reportable permanent prison (PPR) is the maximum penalty of deprivation of liberty in Spain. It was approved by the Cortes General in March 2015, along with the Citizen Security Act, with the only support of the People's Party and in the context of the anti-jihadist pact. It entered into force on 31 of that month.

According to the Criminal Code, the reportable permanent detention is applicable in the following offences: crimes against humanity, the murder of the king of Spain or a foreign head of State who is in Spain, the murder committed within a criminal or terrorist organization, the murder committed after the commission of an offence against sexual freedom or the murder of a person under the age of 16. As well as the murder prisoner convicted of the death of more than two people.

Description
The penalty of reprehensible permanent imprisonment can be imposed only on offences of exceptional gravity: particularly serious killings, terrorism, murder of the head of State or his heir, foreign heads of State and in the most serious cases of genocide or crimes against humanity. This permanent prison is subject to review: after the full execution of a relevant part of the sentence, the duration of which depends on the number of crimes committed and their nature, the convicted person may be released subject to certain requirements, in particular the non-commission of new offences.

Once a minimum part of the sentence has been served, a collegiate court shall reassess the circumstances of the convicted person and the offence committed and may review his personal situation. This periodic judicial review guarantees a horizon of freedom for the convicted. This minimum first part of the sentence is fulfilled if the court considers that the necessary conditions for the prisoner to be released are not met, a time limit shall be set for a further review of his or her situation; and if, on the contrary, the court considers that he or she meets the requirements for his or her release, a period of conditional release shall be established in which conditions and control measures shall be imposed to ensure the security of society and to assist the prisoner at this final stage of his or her social reintegration.

Regulation of the reportable permanent prison in Spain
The regulation of the reportable permanent prison is contained in the Criminal Code. In particular, Organic Law 1 / 2015 of 30 March 2015 amended a number of articles of the Criminal Code as regards the performance of sentences.
