RTL investigated the treatment of healthcare in prison. And according to several specialists, it’s complicated. Dominique Simonnot, general controller of places of deprivation of liberty, estimates that while a third of prisoners suffer from an addiction to narcotics, it is impossible for them to have an appointment with a doctor: “Almost every week he There are prison doctors who come to us in desperation, they can't do it. The guards are also desperate, the inmates even more so, I imagine.
She insists: “When you sometimes hear in court 'Sir, at least in prison you will be treated', no. You won't be treated, or you will be if you're lucky. It sometimes takes six, eight months to see a psychiatrist.”

Result: even when a prisoner obtains an appointment, it is not certain that he will be able to get there, because any movement within the prison mobilizes a guard. 30% of medical consultations are therefore canceled.
How then can you reconcile being in prison with the obligation to treat your drug addiction? For Pierre Palmade's lawyer, it's mission impossibleshe underlined Wednesday during her pleading. In prison, a psychologist must take care of an average of 70 inmates.
