Question 4703 — places of deprivation of liberty

Summary

Mr. José Beaurain draws the attention of the Minister of State, Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the promise made in 2018 by the Government of Mr. Édouard Philippe, which promised 15,000 additional prison places by 2027. He recalls that only 4,500 have been delivered to date, far from the 7,000 originally planned for 2022. He underlines that the prison overpopulation is at a particularly worrying level, with 80,669 detained in French prisons on January 1, 2025 for only 62,385 prison places, i.e. an overall prison density of 129.3%. He asks what specific measures have been put in place to accelerate construction and respond to this structural failure.
