4.3 Action taken following the on-site verifications concerning the trial to set up a medical-social facility aimed at helping disabled adults to better integrate socially through work (ESAT) at the Val-de-Reuil long-term detention centre These on-site verifications had been organised as part of preparations for the opinion of 9 February 2017 on work and vocational training in detention. The report written following these verifications had been sent to the institution's director and the association in charge of the ESAT. The latter sent a response to the Chief Inspector setting out the action that had been taken concerning her recommendations. The association particularly indicated that the ESAT admission and selection process had been amended: requests are now sent to the Département-level centre for disabled people (MDPH), whether the single multidisciplinary committee (CPU) has issued an opinion in favour or against. Moreover, a reception procedure at the ESAT has been developed by the association and forwarded to the CPU for approval. The CGLPL had considered that monitoring of users did not, on the day the on-site verifications took place, allow for an individual assessment of each detainee admitted to the ESAT during the CPU meetings. The association replied that information is now sent to each CPU member a week prior to the meeting and a personalised plan is implemented for each detainee admitted to the ESAT. The fact that incidents, absences and departures from the ESAT are not formally recorded had been raised. The CGLPL is interested to note the introduction, on the one hand, of an internal procedure for reporting adverse events as well as a procedure for managing incidents and punishments in conjunction with the management of the long-term detention centre and, on the other, of a departure procedure for systematically informing and consulting with the Committee for the Rights and Autonomy of Disabled People (CDAPH). Regarding the working conditions of prisoners, the CGLPL found it regrettable that the ESAT only provided a majority of solely occupational tasks, with not enough regular, stimulating professional activity. The association replied that developing commercial activity has been a priority for the ESAT since its creation. It added that it had secured a three-monthly mailing and magazine packing contract, a health kit packing contract and a reprographics contract. The CGLPL is pleased to note that prospecting efforts have been carried out. On the subject of users' rights, the CGLPL was surprised that there was no payment of remuneration or daily allowances during sick leave, and neither was any paid leave granted, unlike the provision in ESAT medical-social facilities in non-detention environments. The association replied that justified absence on medical grounds should effectively be paid, and that talks with the management of the long-term detention centre were planned to ensure this legal provision is applied. In terms of paid leave, the applicable system within the other concessions and workshops of the longterm detention centre has been adopted for the ESAT, even if the ESAT closes for certain periods every year. On a final note, the CGLPL found it regrettable that, without any sustained professional activity, the ESAT was unable to properly prepare its users for their release from detention. It recommended the setup of "justice places" within the neighbouring ESATs for released detainees who had held a position within the ESAT at Val-de-Reuil long-term detention centre. The association replied that this prospect would be included in the trial's assessment report and suggested to the Regional Health Agency (ARS). It added that since released detainees did not all live within the département, the roll-out of "justice places" should be extended to all ESATs nationwide. It maintained that the ESAT enables this vulnerable group, recognised as suffering from mental disabilities, to carry out an occupation in the twofold aim of socialisation and integration. Thus the benefit of the ESAT 99
