Preventive recourse against indignity of detention conditions: state of play and prospects 

The legislator has created a preventive remedy available to persons incarcerated in penal establishments, whether remand prisoners or detainees, to put an end to the undignified conditions of detention to which they are subjected. This recourse, created by law no. 2021-403 of April 8, 2021, is in addition to the recourses that can be exercised before the administrative judge, which have different purposes.
The causes of the indignity of prison conditions, and the insalubrity of certain establishments, continue to be denounced.
This symposium is an opportunity to review the background to the creation of this recourse, and to take stock of its implementation a year and a half after the provisions that created it came into force.
