Question 14890 — places of deprivation of liberty

Summary

Mr. Yoann Gillet draws the attention of the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the particularly worrying situation in the Nîmes remand center, which is currently experiencing alarming prison overcrowding. With nearly 774 inmates for only 341 places, an occupancy rate of around 250%, this establishment clearly illustrates the crisis facing the French prison system. This situation translated concretely by the presence of numerous mattresses on the ground, a deterioration of detention conditions and permanent tension within the establishment. At the same time, prison staff denounce a structural shortage of staff, forcing them to have regular recalls on their days of rest and particularly poor working conditions. This situation poses a real risk both to their safety and to that of the prisoners. Although the construction of a new penitentiary establishment in the department has been announced, its commissioning by 2030 appears insufficient in view of the current emergency. In this context, he asks whether the Government intends to take immediate measures to deal with prison overcrowding in the Nîmes remand center, particularly in terms of increasing the number of staff and relieving congestion. establishments. He also warns of the lack of places in detention throughout the national territory and reminds the Government that the National Rally has made concrete proposals to free up land for the construction of prisons. He wants to know his position on this subject.
