The Minister of Justice maintains that such measures are provided for by the Prison Act of 24 November 2009 and organised by a Decree dated 29 April 2014. Quite apart from any reservations it may subsequently make on the delays in adopting the implementing decree of the legal provision, the CGLPL finds during its inspections that the provisions of the Prison Act are very little applied when it comes to prisoner participation. It is therefore preferable that incentives be set up and progress in terms of participation be assessed at regular intervals. Take every appropriate measure to further application of Art. 29 of the Prison Act which provides for consultation of prisoners about the activities available to them and, beyond that, to encourage all forms of collective expression and interaction about life in prisons, especially in institutions receiving children. 3.4 Access to information and legal advice 3.4.1 Access to services promoting information and knowledge of rights The CGLPL had recommended including practical information for prisoners in the documents handed out to new arrivals, putting this on display in several languages in the prison and communicating it orally during "new arrival" interviews. It also recommended that the names of the institution's main contact persons and the contact details of certain national and local stakeholders be displayed in prisons, along with the documents bearing on the running of the institution and day-today practicalities. Lastly, it recommended a "prisoner-facilitator" scheme to assist new arrivals. The Minister of Justice gave a reminder that all "new arrivals" wings have been accredited in accordance with the European Prison Rules. She provides the list of documents handed out to new arrivals and says that, to the extent possible, they are translated into several languages. The CGLPL finds, during its inspections, that the "new arrivals" wings and procedures do indeed allow for a proper assessment of the new arrival and correct information, in principle. It recommends that vigilance continue on this key point for the due course of prison operations. The CGLPL had recommended introducing means for accessing information and rights (accompanied access to prisoners' records) and enhancing the legal training of teams. The Minister of Justice says that there are 157 citizen's advice centres in prisons. The CGLPL recommends that the possibility for legal aid be provided for systematically, including in small institutions, and stresses the need to enhance legal training of staff. Organise a form of legal aid in institutions that are not equipped with citizen's advice centres and enhance legal training of prison staff. The CGLPL had recommended guaranteeing open access to the library. The Minister of Justice maintains that access to libraries is guaranteed according to the terms laid down by the rules of procedure and states that the "digital technology in prisons" plan will include an e-book library. The CGLPL duly notes this plan and asks that care be taken to ensure that rules of procedure provisions enable access to the library for everyone - not least prisoners who work and those who are placed in solitary confinement or the punishment wing. For institutions receiving children, the CGLPL had recommended extending the initiatives enabling access to the Internet and press and involving them in educational initiatives likely to develop critical thinking when reading the media and promote access to rights and citizenship. 55
