2.2.3 On-Site Verifications
The Legislature has approved the procedure implemented at the CGLPL’s initiative in
order to enable it to properly fulfil its preventive duties. Article 6-1 thus provides that the
CGLPL “may conduct verifications, on-site if necessary” and article 8-1 grants the same
prerogatives to inspectors acting within the framework of inspections and within the framework
of on-site verifications. Both the inspection and on-site verification methods of action are based
upon an internal mode of organisation involving two specialised but complementary groups:
inspectors in charge of inspections and inspectors in charge of referred cases (and therefore onsite verifications).
The unchanged number of inspectors in charge of referred cases, combined with the
emphasis placed upon more rapid handling thereof, did not enable the number of on-site
verifications to be increased as much as hoped. Between January and November 2014 the
CGLPL thus conducted five on-site verifications concerning either one person (three on-site
verifications), or a group of persons (two). In any case, even when these procedures only concern
an individual situation, they always form a part of broader overall reflection with regard to a
particular issue. Four were conducted in an unexpected manner and one was scheduled (advance
notice of two working days) in order both to enable the person concerned to prepare the
elements that they wished to bring to the attention of the CGLPL, and the management to gather
together the documents requested by the CGLPL.
The CGLPL thus delegated between two and three inspectors in order to conduct on-site
verifications under the following circumstances:

the situation of a young adult imprisoned in the prison of Fresnes with a view to ensuring
proper balance between the security measures implemented and respect for their dignity,
as well as the practical details of their psychiatric treatment. The lifting of medical secrecy
as provided for under the final paragraph of article 8-1 of the amended Act of
30th October 2007 was requested within the framework of this inquiry. An inspector with
the status of doctor was thus delegated in order to consult the medical record of the
person concerned and engage in exchanges with the psychiatrist, head of the UHSA
centre and of the SMPR. Prior agreement was given by the person concerned in writing.
During this phase, no other inspector was present and the medical information was not
passed on internally. Only the doctor inspector’s conclusions were re-transcribed in the
