I visit people in detention

Mission description

To be a visitor, you must be approved by the Penitentiary Administration for a specific facility for a renewable two-year period. The process involves: meeting with the facility's ANVP representative, meeting with the SPIP (Penitentiary Insertion and Probation Service) manager, submitting your application, undergoing administrative review (several months), and receiving approval. Approximately half a day per week availability is required. As a visitor, you help restore connection between civil society and people in the justice system.
