Question 5958 — places of deprivation of liberty

Summary

Mr. Philippe Schreck draws the attention of the Minister of State, Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the safety of prison officers and the recurring failures in the organization of transfers of dangerous prisoners. On Thursday April 3, 2025, four agents from the Draguignan remand center were victims of a violent attack during a judicial escort to the Draguignan court. While they were supervising a classified inmate escort 3” and suffering from psychiatric disorders, these agents suffered a particularly brutal attack. The prison officers, supported by those of the national police present on site, showed remarkable composure and controlled the individual. Even though they were injured, in addition to being affected by the incapacitating gas they had to use, they carried out their mission to the end and brought their attacker back to the remand center. This umpteenth event raises several questions and observations, unfortunately all too recurring. On the one hand, while these agents demonstrated - it must be remembered - impeccable management and exemplary conduct, they only benefited from the support of the management and the head of detention of the Draguignan remand center. On the other hand, while having regard to the recognized dangerousness of the individual, the last circular from the Minister relating to the doctrine of employment of prison security teams - which would be dated February 20, 2025, but is still not published on Légifrance - would require the presence of a supervisor and at least three agents, this escort was certainly made up of four agents, but without any supervision! However, it appears in reality that many other escorts are not carried out in compliance with the obligations regulations, often in much more degraded and dangerous conditions than in the present case. This observation is all the more serious as it echoes the tragedy of Incarville, on May 14, 2024. While at the Draguignan remand center, according to the union organizations, only 11 agents out of 23 are actually stationed at the ESP - specifying that the minimum number of 30 agents, planned but not achieved, turns out to be largely underestimated. He him asks if he plans to immediately allocate the personnel essential to the proper execution of the ESP's missions and, failing that, but in a much more secure manner, to concretely organize the use of videoconferencing and the conditions for traveling to prisons for magistrates.
