Question 14496 — places of deprivation of liberty

Summary

Mr. Julien Gabarron draws the attention of the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the worrying situation in the Béziers penitentiary center and the continued deterioration of the working conditions of its staff. This establishment today has a prison overcrowding rate of more than 200%, with more than 180 mattresses on the floor. This overpopulation generates a climate of permanent tension, incompatible with detention conditions and dignified and secure work. Added to this situation is a worrying shortage of staff: 24 supervisory positions and 5 officer positions are currently vacant. These chronic understaffing have a direct impact on existing agents, who are forced to take on excessive workloads in an environment already under high tension. The physical and mental health of staff is seriously affected, in turn fueling recruitment and retention difficulties in a vicious circle that is difficult to break. He asks what concrete measures the Government intends to take to fill vacant positions at the Béziers penitentiary center and reduce prison overcrowding, in order to guarantee dignified and secure working conditions for all prison staff.
