In total, 80% of the institutions were visited unannounced and 20% 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:
-
99.43% with regard to police custody facilities, court cells and customs;
-
94.06% with regard to detention centres for illegal immigrants, waiting areas and
deportation procedures;
-
89.06% with regard to juvenile detention centres;
-
52.02% with regard to healthcare institutions;
-
47.46% with regard to penal institutions;
This distribution between announced and unannounced visits does not vary much from
year to year. In principle, it obeys a simple rule:
-
visits to complex institutions in which persons deprived of liberty can stay for
several years are announced unless there are grounds to do otherwise, since this
way, the CGLPL can benefit, as soon as it arrives, from a documentary case-file
and a meeting with the primary 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.
