- Michel Wieviorka, sociologist, Research Director at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS); Chairman of the Board of the Fondation de la maison des sciences de l’homme (FMSH); - Daniel Zagury, psychiatrist, court expert, department head at the Bois-de-Bondy psychiatric centre. The committee held its first meeting on the basis of the opinion that the CGLPL issued on 5 November 2015 on preventive detention. This was an opportunity for the committee members and CGLPL team to discuss the notion of dangerousness. 3. Cases referred Article 6 of the Act of 30 October 2007 amended instituting the Chief Inspector of places of deprivation of liberty provides that "any natural person, as well as any legal entity with the task of ensuring respect of fundamental rights, can bring to the attention of the Chief inspector of places of deprivati on facts or situations that are likely to come within its remit. " Article 6-1 of said Act provides that when natural or legal persons bring facts or situations to the attention of the CGLPL, which they consider to constitute an infringement or risk of infringement of the fundamental rights of persons deprived of liberty, the CGLPL may conduct verifications, on-site if necessary. The inspectors in charge of the referrals, delegated by the Chief Inspector for conducting on-site verifications, benefit from the same prerogatives as at the time of inspections: confidential interviews, access to any useful document necessary for properly understanding the situation brought to the knowledge of the CGLPL and access to all of the facilities. When these inspections have been completed and after having received the observations of the competent authorities with respect to the denounced situation, the Chief inspector may make recommendations pertaining to the facts or situations to the person responsible for the place of deprivation of liberty concerned. These observations and recommendations may be made public. The resources of the centre in charge of referred cases were bolstered in 2015 with the arrival of two inspectors, with a twofold aim in mind: to reduce the response time of referrals addressed to the Chief inspector of places of deprivation of liberty and to execute more on -site verifications. The time taken to respond to referrals fell significantly in 2016. Reducing these times was one of the Chief Inspector's objectives. Accordingly, the average response time in 2016 was 52 days (i.e. 1.7 months), whereas it was 68 days (i.e. 2.2 months) in 2015. Efforts under way to meet this objective will be maintained in 2017. In addition, seven verifications were conducted on-site during 2016. The significant increase in 2016 in case referrals concerning health facilities should be highlighted; such referrals now account for some 10% of all letters sent to the Chief Inspector. This increase is particularly the result of numerous reports received following the publication of recommendations concerning the Ain psychotherapy centre in Bourg-en-Bresse in the Journal officiel of 16 March 2016, on urgent grounds, as well as the publication of the CGLPL's first thematic report entitled "Solitary confinement and restraint in mental health institutions". 95
