Question 15224 — places of deprivation of liberty

Summary

Mr. Édouard Jordan alerts the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the alarming situation of prison overcrowding at the Carcassonne remand center. According to recently published figures, the occupancy rate of this establishment would now reach more than 235%, or even almost 250% according to the union representatives of prison staff, with around 155 prisoners for only 64 effective places. This situation would make the Carcassonne remand center is one of the most overcrowded prison establishments in France and the most saturated in the Occitanie region. This reality is unfortunately not new, but it has now reached a particularly alarming level. Prison staff have been warning for several months about the human and security consequences of this situation: promiscuity, increased tensions between prisoners, multiplication violence, deterioration of the working conditions of agents... In a department like Aude, where public resources are already heavily strained, this situation rightly arouses great concern among staff, who are at their wits' end. He therefore asks what immediate measures the Government intends to implement in order to reduce prison overcrowding at the Carcassonne remand center, strengthen the staff and resources allocated to this establishment.
