duties by lawyers, the OFII and legal aid associations in detention centres for illegal immigrants including during peaks in activity. 4.1.2 Right to privacy and family life, relations with the outside world The CGLPL's recommendations concerned detained migrants being able to freely access their belongings and procedural documents concerning them as well as opening up visits with no timelimits, particularly on Sundays and public holidays. It also recommended allowing access to the telephone at any time, particularly for calling abroad, and setting up access, supervised where necessary, to the Internet and email. In the Ministry of the Interior's view, storing detained migrants' personal belongings in a luggage room as provided for by the regulations and allowing prisoners to freely access their belongings via a police officer is working out fine. The CGLPL's inspections do not corroborate this positive response. For the staffing situation at detention centres for illegal immigrants does not always enable a police officer to be present for satisfying prisoners' requests. It is still necessary, therefore, to install cupboards that can be locked with a key. That said, the Ministry has pledged to "look into the possibility of amending internal regulations with an article regulating the conditions for detainees accessing their personal documents as well as procedural documents filed with the registry". It nevertheless appears problematic that revision of these internal regulations "does not come solely under the purview of the General Directorate of the French national police force". The CGLPL can only urge the Ministry of the Interior to overcome the divisions in its own administration so as to accomplish the necessary changes. Take the necessary legal and physical measures for guaranteeing that detained migrants can freely access their personal belongings and procedural documents concerning them at all times. With regard to relations with the outside world, the Ministry draws attention to a circular that sets a minimum time-limit of 30 minutes for visits with detained migrants and explains that these can be extended whenever circumstances allow, but can also be cut short (to 20 minutes) at busy times. Such restrictions, which are not grounded in consideration of detained migrants' rights but solely on the authorities' capacities to handle the situation, should not persist. The prospect of an increase in detention time should, on the contrary, push the Ministry to set up the means for more respectful management of prisoners' rights. Consequently, the CGLPL asks that the necessary physical measures be taken to remove the restrictions to detained migrants' visiting rights. Take the necessary measures in terms of police numbers and facilities to ensure that there are no restrictions on detained migrants' visiting rights. The Ministry of the Interior points out that detained migrants may freely access the telephone and use the chip of their own mobile phone in a device that is not equipped with a camera (which may, where necessary, be supplied to them). However, Internet access remains impossible and should remain so for security reasons that the Ministry does not specify. The CGLPL's inspections show that mobile phone use can be fraught with difficulties: replacement devices are not always available, chips do not always correspond, some detained migrants end up deliberately destroying the camera on their smartphone just so they can keep it, etc.), when there is nothing to suggest that the risk associated with cameras cannot be handled through simple information measures, in principle involving confiscation only where a security rule is breached. Several mental health facilities, which had adopted the same rule as the one applied in detention centres for illegal immigrants, changed their practice along the lines of the CGLPL's recommendation and found that such a change removed a complication and source of tension with no significant adverse effects. As for Internet access, the generally alleged "security problems" should not suffice to justify an outright, systematic ban and even less so the lack of any effort to find solutions to such problems. 63
