Question 32573 — places of deprivation of liberty

Summary

Ms. Marie-Pierre Rixain draws the attention of the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the vacancy of the position of general controller of places of deprivation of liberty. Following the departure of Adeline Hazan in July 2020, the date of the end of her non-renewable mandate, the independent administrative authority is awaiting the appointment of a successor. However, this function embodies the monitoring of fundamental rights, whether in prison, in centers in police custody or even in psychiatric hospitals, closed places which can hide all forms of abuse. This essential position is indeed officially endowed with a triple mission: “to ensure that the intangible rights inherent to human dignity are respected, to ensure that a fair balance between respect for the fundamental rights of persons deprived of their liberty and considerations of public order and security is established, but also and above all prevent any violation of their fundamental rights”. In the absence of a person appointed to this position, the fifty controllers cannot continue their movements in prison or hospital establishments, nor even alert the public authorities to situations of violation of the law. Also, she questions him about the date of appointment of the new general controller of places of deprivation of freedom.
