CHOISY-LE-ROI (RECOMMENDATIONS) has not equipped them with the necessary and useful skills for managing a relationship with people who are very uncertain of their future, and for doing this in a cramped environment over an extended period.

Whilst the idea of specific training for people likely to be involved in guarding foreign detainees may not be contemplated, the conditions to be found when confronted with prolonged guarding of people form part of the characteristics of the profession which should be taken into account both during initial training for new recruits, and by the help of their more senior colleagues and their immediate superiors at the time of their first such assignment. 5/ The visit also enabled an inventory of positive elements to be made. In particular, an examination of the register - well maintained - showed that no-one was detained in the premises longer than the forty-eight hours allowed by the regulations in force. In addition, at the initiative of a local manager, an arrangement has been made with a local company for providing paper (strengthened) sheets, which ensures both rigorous standards of hygiene and savings on the laundry budget - the administrative authorities should investigate the possibility of extending this practice. Although incidents have occurred in the past, notably concerning swallowing or other use of dangerous substances by detainees (for example on 3rd January 2008), the period prior to the visit had not been witness to any such event. Lawyers (very few had come) as well as charitable and humanitarian organisations have satisfactory conditions for access to the premises. Access to healthcare and treatment is assured. Catering arrangements gave rise to no particular concerns. 9
