"Europe is currently holding over 630 000 people in prison. Faced with the alarming picture painted by the European Commission’s Green Paper on Europe’s prisons - prison overcrowding, extensive use of pre-trial detention, large numbers of detainees suffering physical and mental disorders and numerous cases of death and suicide and so on, - the European Parliament must respond. This is why we call on the Member States to take urgent measures to guarantee respect for and protection of the fundamental rights of detainees, especially vulnerable persons. The Commission must also present a legislative proposal on the rights of persons deprived of their liberty. Europe must define and implement minimum standards for conditions of imprisonment and detention, as well as uniform standards for compensation for persons unfairly detained or convicted. I gave my support to this resolution and I now hope that measures will be taken quickly, both at a national and European level."@en1
