Séquedin: police officers are replacing prison officers
In response to a strike by a large number of prison officers protesting against poor working conditions and a lack of equipment suitable for their duties, police officers were called in to supervise inmates at Séquedin Prison on Saturday.
Several police units were deployed (the Security and Intervention Company, the Community Security Group, the Anti-Crime Brigade, etc.).
In particular, the police had to supervise exercise yards, visiting rooms and cells, and deliver meals.
Towards an increase in the number of supervisors
A draft agreement providing for the creation of 1,100 prison officer posts over four years across France has been submitted to the trade unions and the Minister for Justice.
Several trade unions have announced that they will not sign this agreement for the time being, as they consider it insufficient.
