"Mr President, Commissioner, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms is one of the Union’s priorities and for this reason, I feel that detainees must be guaranteed dignified conditions in full respect of human rights, but as is known, all this is not true of most European prisons.
The problem of overcrowding is common to almost all Member States, and there are even some Member States whose prisons are holding detainees to more than 100% of their capacity. It would obviously be useful, even at the European level, to have at least minimum common standards as concerns custodial conditions, and a real strategy of its own to provide solutions to overcrowding in prisons.
A specific problem which deserves suitable study is that of children in prison with their mothers, a situation for which proper solutions, alternative to prison, must be found. All this must obviously come about with full respect for victims and injured parties and without overlooking the principle of the certainty of punishment, which must remain a priority as well as a keystone principle of our judicial systems and democracy itself."@en1
