In the very short term, adopt the necessary organisation and training measures to
guarantee external movements, accommodation, consultation and health care for
prisoners that are respectful of medical confidentiality and the dignity of prisoners
cared for in hospital settings. The CGLPL stresses that these are measures with no
financial impact and no budgetary considerations should therefore be cited to explain
the delay.
Maintain a 48-hour timescale throughout national territory - including in Mayotte – for
the presentation of people placed in administrative detention to the liberty and custody
judge.
The CGLPL stresses that everything possible must be done to avoid all imprisonment
of children in detention centres for illegal immigrants and, especially, administrative
detention facilities.
The CGLPL also recommends accommodating men and women within all detention
centres for illegal immigrants (CRAs) across France.
After receiving a case concerning the difficulties that a prisoner had encountered to
obtain communication of information in his medical record – particularly the opinion
of the physician from the Regional Health Agency (ARS) – the Chief Inspector
recommends amending the procedures in place so as to allow the actual
communication to prisoners of medical reports concerning them.
Implement training and audits as soon as possible to ensure the recent body of
regulations concerning juvenile detention centres is fully grasped and applied.
No longer keep people in custody overnight in gendarmerie units that are not equipped
to be able to provide the necessary conditions for acceptable accommodation and
adequate surveillance. Accommodate them instead in a police or gendarmerie service
with round-the-clock surveillance.
Define and educate gendarmes and police officers in a clear and balanced doctrine on
the use of security measures applied as regards people in custody and place these
officers under an accountability system that is compatible with enforcement of this
doctrine on a measured and individualised basis.
Ensure stringent supervisory and judicial oversight in the most inundated police
services and monitoring of action taken following recommendations made during these
inspections.
Use best endeavours to ensure that gendarmes and police officers responsible for
foreigners, held for their right of residence to be checked, are aware of and apply the
measures tailored to the situation of this category of people deprived of liberty.
