report. The CGLPL pays particularly close attention to respect for medical secrecy and to the limits of its action when the latter is lifted. 45 - several testimonies reporting serious violence between minors in the children’s wing of the remand prison of Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone, in the exercise yard in particular. The CGLPL made its urgent recommendations public 45 without awaiting the inquiry report. This prerogative, provided for by article 9 of the Act of 30th October 2007 when the CGLPL ascertains a serious violation of fundamental rights, had hitherto never been implemented within the framework of the handling of cases referred 46. These recommendations concerned the difficulties encountered by inspectors in gaining access to the whole of information requested from various different institutions as well as, and above all, the serious risks weighing upon the security of minors imprisoned within this wing, and therefore their protection from bodily harm. Following these recommendations, the Minister of Justice decided to organise an inspection and several measures were taken, in particular, to make the exercise yard secure, to facilitate the integration of newly-arriving minors without clashes and to re-establish the meaning of the disciplinary regime. - a few days after the visit to the EPM of Porcheville by a team of inspectors, an incident was referred to the CGLPL, having occurred between a minor and prison officers the day after the inspectors’ departure and corresponding to testimonies heard during the visit. The Contrôleure Générale then delegated two inspectors, one of whom had taken part in the inspection and the other being an inspector in charge of cases referred, in order to rapidly conduct on-site verifications for the purpose of gaining a better understanding of the circumstances of the incident and the actions taken in response to it. - the taking of a testimony concerning the situation of aged and/or dependent persons imprisoned in the long-term detention centre of Toul in a specific wing, which therefore posed the question of the suitability of the measures put in place with regard to their state of health and, beyond this, the prospect of reduction of their sentences. At the time of the visit to this institution in April 2011, special arrangements for them had been noted, in particular in terms of in-home help. The Contrôleure Générale thus delegated three inspectors in charge of cases referred in order to check the conditions of the measures put in place for them and gain a better understanding of the terms of reduced sentencing, in particular with regard to the right for persons over 70 years of age to have the benefit of release on parole without any conditions concerning time remaining to be served. Finally, at the time of discussion on the Bill on dependency in Parliament, the issue of access to aid schemes for prisoners is increasingly relevant, both in detention and on release therefrom. - the CGLPL was unable to obtain the whole of the observations and documents requested either from the directors of certain institutions, in which a prisoner had successively been imprisoned, or from the management of the central administration, which would have enabled it to better determine the person’s course of detention, ensure respect for proper balance between the security measures applied to them (security transfers, placement in the solitary confinement wing, use of means of physical restraint, long-stay prison See the cglpl.fr website, "recommendations" section It should be recalled that it has been implemented on three occasions since 2008 following inspections (CP of Nouméa, CP of Marseille, CEF of Hendaye and Pionsat) 46 67
