Encourage the exercise of parental responsibility by imprisoned parents by organising specific guidance and providing access to the digital tools required to monitor the social and schooling situation of their children and to stay in touch with them. The CGLPL had also recommended taking into account the parenting criterion when assigning jobs. The Minister of Justice explains that this criterion is one of a set of criteria that are considered when selecting prisoners for specific jobs, but does not consider it possible to establish a general, preferential selection system for imprisoned parents when it comes to work in prisons, since this measure would be discriminatory in the eyes of other prisoners. The CGLPL takes the same view. Regarding imprisoned children, the CGLPL had recommended handing out a specific information leaflet to holders of parental responsibility, extending family visits inside institutions and creating facilities designed for confidential and sociable encounters. The Minister of Justice reports on measures taken jointly by the prison authorities and Judicial Youth Protection Service to ensure the provisions of the civil code on parental responsibility are effective. She particularly underlines the technical factsheets describing the situations in which the opinion or consent or permission of holders of parental responsibility must be obtained. She also describes measures taken to encourage encounters (family living units and family visiting rooms) and maintains that new institutions systematically include fitted-out areas of this type. The CGLPL duly notes these measures. The CGLPL had also recommended facilitating access to correspondence means, by adapting the credits assigned to new arrivals so that they are able to let their families know, by extending the time slots for accessing the telephone - especially to account for a possible time difference. The Minister of Justice explains that the new programmes contain provision for telephone facilities in accommodation units, which are more accessible than in the exercise yards. She reports on a mobile phone trial in the Montmédy prison complex. Following her response, the broad-scale rollout of this measure was announced, although no set timeline had yet been clarified by the time this report was written. The CGLPL duly notes these plans but will continue to keep a close eye on the cost of telephone use to be borne by prisoners as well as respect for confidentiality during telephone conversations, at a time of prison overcrowding. In line with the CGLPL's recommendation, the technical possibility of accessing servers with a voice menu in the telephone system is due to be looked into when the telephone public service delegation is being renewed. The CGLPL had recommended that families living abroad benefit from special facilities to arrange a visit to the family visiting room (booking online, flexibility in the event of delays, time allotted in these rooms, information about the applicable rules and the situation of their detained relative, etc.). The Minister of Justice contends that, in the context of universally applicable regulations, some flexibility is permitted locally for families having to travel a long way (doubling the visiting times, access to family visiting rooms and living units, flexibility in the event of delays, etc.). She also says that online booking for visiting rooms is due to be trialled via the general public portal for "digital technology in prisons". The CGLPL concedes that it has indeed observed such flexibility during its inspections, but asks that it be subject to incentives via "flexible rules" (administrative instruction, technical factsheets, training modules, etc.). 53
