Dupond-Moretti wants a reform of the juvenile justice system, with fewer incarcerations

The keeper of the Seals would like to take up a bill filed by Eric Ciotti on the reception of young offenders in public Institutions of insertion of the defense.

the minister of Justice Eric Dupond-Moretti, said on Monday its willingness to reform the juvenile justice system, as it offers a frame to using a new device, during her hearing before the law commission of the national Assembly's former counsel sent a wink supported to the member of parliament Éric Ciotti and his proposal, the former, to frame the military juvenile offenders, without, however, giving precise details of his projects.

"I am the minister for the Armed forces to resume a proposal that was floating around in the head of mr. Eric Ciotti", stated the keeper of the Seals, "it is obviously not ready, I have a lot of, a lot of work, but I would like to share it, because it can summarize a little bit my vision of things".

Reform the ordinance of 1945

In 2011, Éric Ciotti (The Republicans) had filed a law passed but never implemented, providing that the public Institution insertion of defense (Epide), home since 2005 in its youth centres a major difficulty, opens to the minors 16-18 years of age who have committed acts of low severity, for a "citizen service" of six to twelve months. In a press release, the member is immediately welcomed the "recovery" of his idea.

Eric Dupond-Moretti has said repeatedly that he would reform the ordinance of 1945 on juvenile delinquency, reform "which is to be expected" and has "already been deferred". He hoped that the young offenders are judged faster and better, and advocated that "the judges in family matters, the judges of the children, travel in the territories to ensure that the petty crimes are quickly judged".

Reduce incarceration

"When you look at some kids with respect, they become respectable. When one looks at some kids like france, they become French," said the minister, adding preferred that a young "might have a military for idol as a radical islamist or a guy".

"I wish, obviously, that there is the least amount of incarceration possible for minors whenever possible, it goes without saying", he said, arguing in general for a decrease in provisional detention, which must remain "exceptional". "I want to be reasonable and there are cases where, unfortunately, the prison is a necessary evil." But, he hammered, these young people must come out "less bad" of detention than when they entered it.

In France, more than 80% of juvenile prisoners are awaiting trial. "If the repression was the solution, centuries ago, that we would know", he argues, ensuring wanting "to chat with everyone, but not with the populist".
