Question 2764 — places of deprivation of liberty

Summary

Mr. René Lioret draws the attention of Mr. Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the subject of the deployment of drone jammers in penitentiary centers. Faced with an ever-increasing number of various deliveries by drone, a new fashionable tool, within prison centers, whether mobile phones, various drugs, SIM cards, or even bladed weapons, the prison administration continues to raise the alarm. A small drone costs around a hundred euros, so anyone can get one. Currently, the main tools used in the fight against drones are video surveillance or detectors, but the latter are insufficient and poorly developed. The jamming began in 2017. In 2023, 22 French prison sites will be equipped with anti-drone jammers, at an annual cost of 12 million euros for the state. According to the agreement signed in May 2024 between the prison officers' unions and the Ministry of Justice, following the death of two prison officers, by 2025, 38 prisons will be equipped with jammers, compared to 18 currently and solutions against drones will be deployed in 90 penitentiary establishments compared to 38 today. Certainly, there is progress, but what about other penitentiary establishments? who number 179 in France? What about the Dijon remand center, on which his constituency depends? Has a public contract been awarded? Are tests underway? When will a global and national policy for the installation of anti-drone tools and jammers be put in place? Under immense pressure, prison guards are warning: it is urgent to equip, as a priority, buildings with jammers of drones and telephone waves in order to stem trafficking within French prisons. Considering all of these elements, he asks what measures he intends to take to respond to these aspirations and develop a real agenda for setting up telephone wave jammers and drones within French penitentiary centers.
