Question 6815 — places of deprivation of liberty

Summary

Mr. Pascal Jenft questions the Minister of State, Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, on the possibility of granting access to prison sports infrastructures to prison officers. With more than 44,500 officers and 1,000 new positions opening in 2025, prison officers constitute the third security force in the country. However, unlike police officers and gendarmes, prison officers do not have slots hours dedicated to sports practice as part of their professional activity. This seems paradoxical, because good physical condition is essential to secure the position of prison officer, whether for their safety or that of the prisoners. In addition to this, prisoners have the right to access sports equipment during their time of incarceration. At the same time, the “digital in detention” program, which allows, between others, to distribute digital tablets to prisoners, has been put in place. However, it was suspended by the minister due to the strong reaction it provoked among the French, outraged by this measure. In this context, it would be legitimate and necessary to grant prison officers access to the sports infrastructures of the establishments where they work, outside hours dedicated to prisoners. This measure, no expensive, can improve their well-being and reinforce the feeling of consideration due to them. Consequently, he asks him if he plans to implement the necessary arrangements so that prison officers can benefit from the sports infrastructures of detention centers, at time slots distinct from those reserved for prisoners.
