Question 4681 — places of deprivation of liberty

Summary

Ms. Stéphanie Rist draws the attention of Ms. Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the remedies to be brought to prison overpopulation in France. The Saran penitentiary center, near Orléans, is one example among many others of this situation, aggravated in this case by rehabilitation work, which forces more than 300 prisoners to occupy premises which can only accommodate a little more than 200. The President of the République committed during the presidential campaign to building additional places. The MP is aware of the need to compensate for the lack of places through construction. However, she questions the weakness of the resources available for the renovation of the existing stock and the integration of detainees, during and after their stay in detention. She also draws attention to the need to think about sentences alternatives in order to move towards a lasting reduction in the number of prisoners in France, like what several European countries have succeeded in doing in recent years. She would like to know the progress of the Government's thinking on this subject.
