Preventive action against unacceptable detention conditions: current situation and prospects 

The legislature has created a preventive remedy available to persons incarcerated in correctional facilities, whether accused or convicted, to put an end to the undignified conditions of detention they are subjected to. This remedy, created by Law No. 2021-403 of April 8, 2021, is in addition to the remedies that can be exercised before the administrative judge, which have different purposes.
The causes of the undignified prison conditions and the unsanitary nature of certain facilities continue to be denounced.
This symposium is an opportunity to review the context in which this remedy was created and to take stock of its implementation a year and a half after the provisions that created it came into force.
