In all, 78.69% of institutions were visited unannounced and 21.31% in a scheduled manner.
These percentages are to be adjusted according to the type of institution concerned. Visits
conducted in an unexpected manner thus comprise the following percentages:
-
99.49% with regard to police custody facilities, court cells and customs;
-
93.46% with regard to detention centres for illegal immigrants, waiting areas and
deportation procedures;
-
90.14% with regard to juvenile detention centres;
-
51.39% with regard to healthcare institutions;
-
45.04% with regard to penal institutions;
This distribution is fairly stable from one year to the next. It obeys the following principles:
-
visits to complex institutions in which persons deprived of liberty can stay over a
long period of time are generally announced, unless there are grounds to conduct an
unannounced visit, since this way, the CGLPL can benefit, as soon as it arrives, from
a documentary case-file on the institution and a meeting with the principal managers
of the institution;
-
- on the other hand, visits to small institutions in which persons deprived of liberty
stay for only brief periods are, in principle, unannounced.
