4.1.6 Access to medical care for migrants placed in detention centres for illegal immigrants As part of the discussions initiated by the Chief Inspector on access to medical care for detained migrants, an on-site verification was carried out at Bordeaux detention centre for illegal immigrants from 28 November to 1 December. The investigation probed all of the questions associated with the detained migrants' access to medical care (healthcare system, mission of the detention centre's medical unit, medical appointment procedure, procedures in the event of incompatibility with staying in the detention centre or a removal, continuity of care, etc.). The investigation also examined access to psychiatric treatment and the hospitalisation procedure for the migrants, which mostly entailed voluntary committal to a closed unit. In this context, the question of hospitalised detainees' access to rights was given particular consideration. 4.2 Action taken following the on-site verifications concerning the physical conditions of the "women's" disciplinary wing in Metz prison complex The 2016 annual report referred to monitoring of the on-site verifications carried out in 2015 on the provision for a female detainee in the disciplinary wing of Metz prison complex. Following these onsite verifications, the Chief Inspector had sent recommendations to the institution's management and the Minister of Justice. These recommendations bore particularly on building work to be carried out in the room which was used as an exercise yard. The area dedicated to exercise adjoined the disciplinary cell. In reality this was just a room rather than a yard, with a concrete roof and enclosed by walls, posts and Plexiglas acrylic panels. This area provided no outdoor access. The CGLPL had issued recommendations in favour of undertaking building work to ensure that women placed in the disciplinary wing could go for walks in an actual yard. In keeping with its desire to be kept apprised of the action taken following its recommendations in this context, the Chief Inspector continued to liaise with the Metz prison management so as to obtain details about the works carried out in the disciplinary wing and the studies undertaken with a view to improving the exercise yard. In 2016, the prison management confirmed that all of the minor works recommended had been carried out. It also indicated, with regard to the exercise yard, that the Interregional Directorate for Prison Services had tasked an engineering firm with assessing the feasibility of work so that this can get under way for the end of 2016 or beginning of 2017. At the end of 2017, the prison management confirmed to the Chief Inspector that this work had been completed. The accomplishment of this work is to be commended, while reminding that, far from serving a purely comfort purpose, it ensures at the very least compliance with the statutory provisions according to which all prisoners shall have at least one hour of suitable exercise in the open air daily42. 42 Article 12 of the Annex to Article R.57-6-18 of the Code of criminal procedure on the standard Rules of Procedure of penal institutions. 98
