The french situation
In France this time. A new release said today that the french judiciary system is not worthy of one from a developed country. A recent scandal called "l'affaire d'Outreau" blatantly showed how the french justice went wrong all the way from the investigation to the trials.
The release, written by Gilles Roblès, denounces the overcrowded prisons but focuses also on the conditions of foreign prisoners. They are detained in shamefully old and unsafe places called "centres de rétention", where the french authorities keep them and decide if they legalize their status or send them back to their countries. The report said chidren were also detained in those "waiting zones".
Finally, the report reminds us of the lack of means, which makes the judiciary process longer and longer and the tribunals more and more crowded.

Effectivement le conseil de l'Europe épingle, après bien d'autres, l'état des prisons françaises.

L'observatoire international des prisons et la Cimade dénoncent les manquements constatés dans ces centres et en particulier le manque de places:

On est bien loin de la réinsertion qui devrait pourtants être un des buts prioritaires de la privation de liberté.
Le procès d'Outreau a attiré à nouveau l'attention des français sur cette question: chacun s'imaginant victime innocente et emprisonnée, prend peur.
Pourvu que cette attention ponctuelle débouche sur des décisions politiques
