Question 9828 — vocational training and apprenticeship

Summary

Mr. Sylvain Maillard draws the attention of the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the need to further open up professional training and apprenticeships in the prison environment. In fact, incarceration is an airlock between a conviction and an exit. As such, everything must be done to ensure that this release is anticipated and successful. Penitentiary centers must not only punish, they must become an instrument reintegration of prisoners, for the good and security of all. Prison work and vocational training constitute an important lever, currently underused, to support prisoners in preparing for their release and helping them break the cycle of delinquency. This lack of link between “inside and outside” at the level of professional training results in profoundly negative consequences by increasing the probability of social breakdown, a factor in recidivism according to the Institut Montaigne report, “Work in prison: preparing for the aftermath” (February 2018). The law of March 5, 2014 was also intended to make it possible to increase the use of prisoner training, by including people placed under the supervision of justice undergoing professional training in the public of "vocational training trainees", and thus to benefit from the financing of the regions that this status allows (article L. 6341-3 of the labor code). However, the insufficiency of funds and the lack of political will in certain regions have actually led to a decrease in the percentage of prisoner trainees in vocational training, from 15.94% in 2014 to 14.5% in 2016. Also, he questions the financial and human resources actually implemented in order to better train the detained people, a guarantee of better reintegration into French society.
