Note: the annual reports of the CICI from 2003 to 2014 allow the first five columns of the
table to be presented. The column for accompanying minors was not present before 2011. The last two
columns relating to the result of placing and holding in administrative detention centres do not come

the task carried out by the Cour des Comptes, described, for 2006-2008, the number of people in
detention who were finally sent back, excluding voluntary returns. The proportion with respect to the
number of committals can therefore be calculated (last column). The 7th CICI report dated March 2011
then provided this proportion for 2009 (page 77). The following report gave a rate of 42% for CRAs
