12/ That all persons in police custody should receive a paper (and not a plastic) cup in order to be able to quench their thirst. 13/ That the Code for Entry and Residence of Foreigners and Right of Asylum include a provision (section of decrees of the French Council of State) concerning use of exclusion rooms during periods of detention of illegal immigrants and asylum seekers due to be deported. That placements in exclusion rooms be recorded in an ad hoc register. 14/That associations authorised to provide support for foreign detainees have free access to the area accommodating these foreigners, with the exception of the night service. 15/ That the 20 kg limit fixed for the weight of luggage belonging to persons deported be brought to an end, the person paying any excess charge beyond 30 kg at their own expense if necessary. 16/ That the maximum period of detention of foreigners be brought back down from fortyfive to thirty-two days (measure to be taken with trembling: it results from the law). 17/ That the regulatory part (decrees of the French Council of State) of the Code for Entry and Residence of Foreigners and Right of Asylum should contain provisions concerning norms of habitability in waiting areas in which foreigners are held. 18/ That the fast track deportation procedure for foreigners denied admission to French territory be mentioned in the same Code, including in particular the length of time for which can be implemented. That these operations be recorded in a countersigned official record. 19/ That associations managing young offenders’ institutions submit a plan and resources with regard to in-service training of their employees, it being understood that the opening of centres be subject to the condition of the effective presence of a minimum number of qualified tutors. 20/That norms enforceable upon all young offenders’ institutions with regard to disciplinary matters be instituted by the judicial youth protection service. This is not a list of the Contrôle Général’s priorities. It has a pedagogical virtue. That of showing that places of deprivation of liberty can and need to change, not only at the level of constant visible reinforcement of security, but at the level of a more attentive approach to handling prisoners, wherein real security lies. This is not necessarily a question of emphasising the most essential measures which, it light be added, the Contrôle Général has recommended, including in this report. It is rather a matter of pointing out those amongst them which can be implemented under the conditions recalled above. It is also an invitation addressed to the authorities to confront the reality of deprivation of liberty, what is more, this is also in accordance with the suggestions of professionals, amongst whom there is often great lassitude. The grounds for each of these measures would need to be set out. However, such is not the purpose of this exposition. Grounds and comments have already been provided for each of them in previous writings on the part of the Contrôle Général. Their existence cannot give cause for surprise to anybody. They have already been included in recommendations on numerous occasions. 83
