Section 1 Actions taken in 2014 in response to Opinions, Recommendations and Cases taken up by the Contrôle Général The first part of Section 2 of the 2013 Annual Report recalls (pages 64 et seq.) the working methods of the Contrôleur général des lieux de privation de liberté: The sending of findings to the head of the institution with a view to securing the latter’s observations before drafting and then sending the inspection report, accompanied with recommendations, to the ministers concerned. This method remains, even if it gives rise to waiting time. The observations made in this part concerning the contents of ministerial responses also remain: in most cases they once again take up remarks set out locally by the inspected institutions. It is thus hardly surprising that implementation of the twenty measures mentioned in the 2013 Annual Report in the Why Do You Come So Late? Section, - measures put forward on various different occasions for rapid implementation, chosen from among numerous others-, has not yet even begun7. However, a systematic examination of the measures, recommendations and opinions published in the Journal Officiel enables assessment of the slow progress made, taking a certain number of points into account. 1. Actions taken in response to Recommendations and Opinions Published in 2014 1.1 Actions taken in response to the urgent recommendations of 26th March 2014 concerning the children’s wing of the remand prison of Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone After reports of violence between minors were brought to the attention of the Contrôle Général, two inspectors went to the site between 17th and 20th February 2014, in order to assess the veracity of this information. They ascertained that the violence occurring in the children’s wing was indeed very serious (24 serious acts of violence registered in the exercise yard between 1st January 2013 and 11th February 2014), placing the imprisoned minors in very serious danger of bodily harm. 7 This list is taken up once again in the foreword above, pages 12 et seq. 19
