OPINIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE FRENCH CGLPL ensure that each establishment can provide an Internet link from these premises, though the authorities may reserve the right to deny access to some of them, for the same reasons as those – and only those – indicated previously, and in a way that can be controlled and identified. Access must also be provided to e-mail, solely within the limitations currently applied by law for mail sent by post (e-mail messages should be treated in the same way as this). These limitations consist of a prior check on messages prior to dispatch and on messages received. Persons held in custody should be able to make use of the services mentioned above, using equipment that corresponds to their requirements, for work, training, education and all activities open to them. The authorities should be able to take the necessary precautions to prevent thefts of equipment or data. Lastly, it should be possible to use “new-generation” games consoles on the same premises, in the context of the leisure activities normally organised in prison. 10/ In order to comply with the prescriptions set out above, persons held in custody should be free to purchase the equipment necessary, either by post or on line, from any service provider whose corporate name is clearly identified and subject to the authorities carrying out a prior check, the sole purpose of which is to ensure that the equipment selected meets the conditions referred to in item 8 above. Any mechanism facilitating such acquisitions, and consequently reintegration, should be encouraged. These are the principles that the Contrôleur général recommends for implementation in the near future. They are likely to facilitate the reintegration of persons held in custody, without compromising the obvious imperatives of short-term security; and thus, in the medium term, to promote greater peace and harmony, and security for everyone. 104
