The public authorities must put more thought into the nature of the treatment of youth returning from zones of conflict, since it has been observed that incarceration cannot be an undifferentiated method of treating a phenomenon that affects several hundreds of people with varying degrees of intensity. The Contrôleur général deems that waking detainees up several times at night, for long periods sometimes, is likely to violate their rights to physical integrity and dignity, and to constitute inhumane and degrading treatment, all the more so as other measures (checking of the bars, allocation of cells close to the guard posts, etc.) are already implemented simultaneously, to ensure the security of the institution and prevent jailbreaks. People lacking sufficient financial resources must be able to benefit from aid, in kind, that allows them to use a telephone for free, even if a portion of the cash aid of 20 euros can cover these costs. The Contrôleur général stated that the aid in kind must be given unconditionally to all people recognised by the CPU as lacking sufficient financial resources. In certain institutions, receiving study grants makes people lacking sufficient financial resources ineligible for the cash aid of 20 euros. The Contrôleur général recommended that the amount of the study grants should not be taken into account when examining their financial situation. The Contrôleur général questions the possibility of allowing people lacking sufficient financial resources to have a certain nest egg, through which they can accumulate their savings, month after month, from the cash aid of 20 euros or their study grant, in order to make atypical purchases, on the authorisation of the head of the institution. The CGLPL renewed the recommendation formulated in its Opinion dated 10 June 2010 pertaining to the protection of the property of detainees, stating that the compensation for lost or damaged property should be determined using the value of the new property. The physical conditions of accommodation of detainees are unsatisfactory in several cases, certain rooms require a complete renovation, others in basements are cramped, cold and noisy; in other places, the treatment is rudimentary and in one building, only the administrative rooms are air-conditioned and the protection against mosquitoes is not suited to the local conditions. In a few cases, in buildings that are otherwise in a good condition, the treatment of the detainees is close to that of imprisonment, where the detainee is only allowed outside rarely and where the detainees leave the accommodation building only for common meals and administrative formalities. 1 3 3 3 3 3 3 1 1
