Question 14885 — places of deprivation of liberty

Summary

Mr. Lionel Tivoli draws the attention of the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the alarming deterioration of working and security conditions within the Grasse remand prison. During a recent meeting with the prison staff of this establishment, testimonies and figures highlighted the faulty management of the establishment. While within it activities are organized socio-cultural activities such as “Toque Chef” workshops, tightrope walker performances or One Man Show type shows, the fundamentals of security and support for agents are no longer ensured. The establishment is experiencing critical prison overcrowding, with an occupancy rate of 132%, or 752 inmates for a capacity of 571 places. This permanent tension is exerted on a body of supervisors largely undersized: the position occupancy rate peaks at 85%, with only 146 actual staff compared to 169 theoretical. This staff shortage is in reality much more severe if we consider unavailability linked to illnesses, work accidents or secondments. The psychological abandonment of agents is also a major difficulty. While two staff psychologist positions are budgeted, none are currently provided. In a context where verbal attacks and intimidation are becoming commonplace, this lack of support is unacceptable. In addition, staff deplore a total lack of follow-up on complaints filed following attacks suffered on duty, which fuels a feeling of harmful impunity within the detention facility. Consequently, he asks him what emergency measures he intends to implement to fill the vacancies, guarantee effective psychological support to staff and ensure a firm and systematic penal response for each outrage or attack suffered by agents of the Grasse remand center.
