prisons is far below the desired standards, the Contrôleur général highlighted the opportunity of inserting incentives in the law. Also, the Contrôleur général participated in the policy committee for the internal oversight of the national police, during which the question of placing people in custody was treated on the request of the CGLPL. On this occasion, she submitted a report of the observations made by the CGLPL over the course of the seven years of its existence. It contains the major themes summarised in the first chapter of this report. She was also heard by the High Council for Public Health as part of the evaluation of the psychiatry and mental health plan 2011-2015. In particular, she spoke of her willingness to make treatment without consent a priority in her mandate, and insisted on the insufficient nature of the treatment of mental disorders in prison environments due to the very low capacity of the SMPR and the UHSA; she also gave a reminder on the constant recommendations of the CGLPL concerning the use of seclusion and restraints. She highlighted the essential nature of judicial oversight in healthcare without consent. 1.2 Non-Public Legal Entities While submitting her annual report for 2014, the Contrôleur général of places of deprivation of liberty met with all of the organisations representing the staff employed in institutions under its oversight, as well as the associations that assist persons deprived of liberty.

Meetings were also organised with the associations, individually or in small groups, that according to their domains (rights of detainees or hospitalised persons, rights of foreign nationals, etc.). Regular contacts were also maintained as part of referrals, with the institution emphasising the interest of their testimonies and reports. Finally, in order to spread the word on the institution, its tasks and its observations, the Contrôleur général endeavoured to reply positively to invitations to intervene in training courses, symposiums, public meetings or conferences, wherever its participation seemed justified and limited by the constraints of the schedule of visits to penal institutions. Thus, the Contrôleur général participated in various public meetings or conferences. A few major ones were: - the psychiatry and justice symposium organised by the public mental health institution of the conurbation of Lille, on the theme “respect of fundamental rights and deprivation of liberty”; - a round table conference on the future of the healthcare system organised by the French National Order of Doctors; 70
