"Detention conditions vary between EU Member States, and in some cases these conditions violate the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, specifically Article 1: ‘Human dignity is inviolable. It must be respected and protected’. These violations manifest themselves in overcrowded prisons, abuse of pre-trial detention, increased numbers of foreign nationals being held, detainees with mental and psychological disorders, and numbers of deaths and suicides discovered in prison.
This motion for a resolution follows a number of questions for oral answer made by Members from various groups, pursuant to Rule 115(5) of the Rules of Procedure, with the Commission Green Paper entitled ‘Strengthening mutual trust in the European judicial area A Green Paper on the application of EU criminal justice legislation in the field of detention’. There is clearly a lack of a European dimension for prisons, as detention conditions, family visits, prisons and rehabilitation of minors, and so on, all need to be improved.
As such, I voted for this motion for a resolution, because I hope it will help to improve detention conditions in the Member States, with full respect for prisoners’ fundamental rights."@en1
