Question 6461 — drugs

Summary

Ms. Pascale Martin questions Mr. the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, on the sustainability and generalization of the rehabilitation unit for drug users (URUD), an experimental project carried out at the Neuvic detention center in Dordogne since 2017. This unique device in France aims to adapt the therapeutic community model to the prison environment. Prisoners suffering from addiction can thus benefit from support. load in a therapeutic community similar to what exists in a free environment. URUD was evaluated in 2018 by the French Observatory for Drugs and Drug Addiction. The written report from the OFDT drew up a very positive overall assessment, with regard to the reduction or cessation of consumption among program participants, but also concerning the improvement of relationships between prisoners and staff. However, he emphasized some inadequacies of the system, particularly with regard to taking into account the social reintegration issues of participating prisoners. In their roadmap for 2019-2022 “health of people placed under the control of justice”, the Ministry of Justice and that of Solidarity and Health have decided to take into account the conclusions of this report to improve the system and have scheduled a new evaluation of the system with a view to its possible sustainability and generalization to other territories (action no. 27). During a visit to the Neuvic detention center on February 28, 2023, the management of the establishment nevertheless indicated that the URUD still has the status of an experimental device, for which the funding request must be renewed each year. On this occasion, the staff and inmates met took stock of very favorable of the device. The MP therefore asks the Minister if the Government intends to perpetuate this system and, if so, when. She also asks him if he plans to generalize this type of system to other establishments on French territory and, if so, when.
