Guarantee the exceptional nature of full-body searches by providing effective training and supervision for all prison administration staff as regards complying with the grounds and conditions for carrying out searches; ensure the strict interpretation of Article 57, Paragraph 2, of the Prison Act through tight scrutiny by the supervisory authorities, administrative inspectorates and judicial authorities. confirm and organise the role of health professionals working in prisons in the screening of violence, pursuant to the provisions of the European prison rules. The CGLPL reiterates its opposition to the principle of video surveillance in cells. That said, if the consensus is that this cannot be avoided, under exceptional circumstances, then at the very least its legal supervision must be bolstered. What matters is to keep this measure exceptional, by providing that it can only be taken with a view to protecting a prisoner rather than to meeting the expectations of public opinion, that it be subject to regular scrutiny and that it be limited to a strict timescale. Video surveillance must not replace human presence around the person being protected.

Bring the cell search policy into line with the European prison rules. Cease any checking of documents in a prisoner's possession that is not justified by an explicit legislative provision, and repeal any regulatory provision to the contrary.
