resources have been unlocked. The HAS therefore considers that the necessary structural conditions for certification have been met. In 2017, the CGLPL asked the Minister for Solidarity and Health to inform it of all of the measures taken pursuant to the recommendations made in the emergency recommendations issued, as well as those set out in the finding report sent to the institution back in October 2016. It also informed the Minister of its intention to carry out a follow-up visit of the institution over the coming months with a view to assessing the impact of the structural reforms on the day-to-day respect for the detained patients' fundamental rights. 7. Action taken following the emergency recommendations dated 18 November 2016 on the men's remand prison of the Fresnes prison complex (Val-de-Marne) Following an inspection carried out from 3 to 14 October 2016 of the men's remand prison of the Fresnes prison complex, the Chief Inspector of places of deprivation of liberty submitted emergency recommendations concerning this institution to the Minister of Justice, in which she had found that the overcrowding, together with the disgraceful state of the facilities and understaffing, did not enable the prisoners to be managed in a way that respected their fundamental rights, and resulted in substandard housing conditions. The Chief Inspector of places of deprivation of liberty recommended that the Minister of Justice take immediate measures to reduce the prison overcrowding and improve the hygiene conditions to acceptable standards in the institution. She recommended increasing staff numbers and supervision levels in the prison as well as measures likely to resolve the prevailing climate of violence and halt the violations identified.

In her response, dated 13 December 2016, to the emergency recommendations, the Minister of Justice did not call the CGLPL's findings into question. She reported immediate corrective measures, particularly as regards the practice of body searches, and pledged, for the start of 2017, measures aimed at increasing the number of warders and restoring acceptable hygiene standards within the institution. Finally, she indicated that this institution would be placed under careful surveillance. Several applications for interim measures have been issued concomitantly by the International prisons watchdog (French section) (OIP-SF), condemning the detention conditions within the Fresnes men's remand prison and calling on the court hearing the applications for interim measures to order the Ministry of Justice to substantially improve the physical detention conditions: ending cell overcrowding, cleaning communal areas, laying out exercise yards, organising services, supervising the use of force.
