lpv:translated text	"Mr President, there is no doubt that among the indicators of the level of a society’s civilisation, the conditions of detainees are certainly present. Overcrowding is a constant characteristic in many Member States, due in part to the significant presence of citizens of other countries: 650 000 detainees is a particularly substantial number. There is a right, just as there is a duty, for them to serve their sentences, obviously so long as the dignity and decorum of the person is guaranteed. We are of the opinion that what is needed is homogeneity and uniformity of treatment, and we feel that cooperation and trust among Member States can exist especially when there is uniformity in the conditions of detainees. This is not the case! In the Member States, there are certain particularly complex realities that must be investigated further. Of course, there are issues connected with those awaiting trial and preventive detention, of which many Member States do not always make prudent and judicious use. Then there is the question of jobs for those who have served their sentences, and their rehabilitation and social redemption, because these are persons who must be given a second chance. There is the problem of harsh sentences for those who have committed serious crimes – first and foremost, those of mafia, organised crime and terrorism. In these cases, the surveillance threshold must obviously remain very high. Mutual recognition among Member States in judicial matters may be of use. We should like to see the Commission and the Council show greater courage and identify this as a priority in the list of matters to address – why not? – with greater means and resources to enlarge and modernise prison facilities: this is specifically mentioned in the Stockholm programme. In the meantime, the Member States must also adopt alternative measures to favour the reintegration of ex-convicts: people must always be offered dignity and decorum."@en1
