MAJICAVO (RECOMMENDATIONS) relations, guaranteed by law, should clearly take precedence over any concerns about illegal immigration. Instructions must be issued to this effect. 5/ Concerning inmates’ diet, the prevailing Mayotte dietary culture should not be used as a reason not to establish balanced menus, in close cooperation with the health authorities. Nor should this influence the manner in which meals are served and the provision of a complete set of cutlery for each meal. 6/ There is no productive workshop within the establishment. This fact, coupled with the economic situation in Mayotte, means that there is very little professional activity available to inmates. It is thus appropriate that educational, cultural and sporting activities be developed. Organising access to the under-utilised library should be reviewed. 7/ The likelihood of Mayotte becoming a French département with effect from 1st January 2011, should be the catalyst for the Majicavo remand prison to start aligning itself with the normal French law and put in place a system for vocational training. 8/ The handling of young offenders needs to be organised such that all the various mechanisms provided by the law can be used in this establishment. It would be opportune, by cooperating with all the available national organisations, to have recourse to suitable sentences other than imprisonment for young offenders, or for taking them into assisted educational structures, and to set up a psychiatric treatment unit for adolescents. 9/ The strengthening of the nursing staff in the UCSA (the prison medical consultation and out-patient treatment unit) planned for 2010 must be real in order to take into account the full range of healthcare needs and to continue the preventative actions already undertaken. 10/ The ‘départementalisation’ of Mayotte will ensure that the prison warders’ status will be integrated into the standard prison administration system and will thus bring an end to the difference in salary and benefits between the locally recruited staff and those on assignment from metropolitan France. 61
