The average length of visits increased slightly as compared with previous years, without this being attributable to any special cause. Medium and small-sized institutions were visited in 2014 (the largest being visited by ten inspectors over a two-week period). Deportation procedures are shown for the first time in the Annual Report table, since inspection thereof was entrusted to the Contrôle Général by Act no. 2014-528 of 26th May 2014 amending Act no. 2007-1545 of 30th October 2007 instituting the Contrôleur général des lieux de privation de liberté. Although the time spent on inspections properly speaking is apparently small – the travel time – they require considerable preparation time, since inspection of deportation operations requires long notice periods, in the order of several days, and the operations may be cancelled at the last minute. 3.2 Nature of Visits (since 2008) Police custody, TGI cells, customs… Unexpected Scheduled Young offenders’ institutions 455 1 Health institutions 49 6 Prisons 77 62 105 104 Local detention centres, TOTAL waiting areas… 77 763 6 179 In total, 81% of the institutions were visited in an unexpected manner and 19% in a scheduled manner. These percentages are to be adjusted according to the type of institution concerned. Visits conducted in an unexpected manner thus comprise the following percentages: - 99.78% with regard to police custody facilities, court cells and customs; - 89.10% with regard to young offenders’ institutions; - 55.40% with regard to health institutions; - 50.24% with regard to prisons; - 92.77% with regard to detention centres for illegal immigrants, waiting areas and deportation procedures. The percentage of unexpected visits varies little from one year to the next, although the year 2014 seems to mark a record at 81% (for previous years the percentages were 75% in 2013, 77% in 2012, 74% in 2011 and 71% in 2010). The reasons for these percentages were given in the previous Annual Reports. 3.3 Categories of Institutions Visited A total of 942 visits have been conducted since 2008. They are distributed as follows: 73 - 37.26% concerned police custody facilities; - 22.29% concerned prisons; - 14.65% concerned health institutions; - 8.49% concerned detention centres and facilities for illegal immigrants and waiting zones;
