2023, historic year. A new attorney general, a new management body with two deputies, a new supervisory body, new administrative autonomy and reinforced independence from the executive power. It is therefore a transformed Vaud Public Ministry which organized, like a big one, its very first press conference in the form of a review. At the cantonal castle, all the same, so as not to venture too far from its ancient roots. The opportunity for his boss, Eric Kaltenrieder, to release figures, to sing the refrain of overload and to announce avenues. While stating that despite, or perhaps because of, all of these issues, the feature “is exciting.”
This will not please all those who find that Vaud (like Geneva), champion of all categories of confinement, sends its delinquents to pre-trial detention a little too quickly and for too long. In 2023, the number of requests for confinement increased by 8.6% compared to the previous year. With 1,532 cases, the number of prisoners before trial and in early execution of sentence jumped by 11% and the number of days spent in the shadows saw an even greater increase of 19%. Prison overcrowding is not about to decrease.
