1 Prisons in Europe France Country Profile Marcelo F. Aebi Léa Berger-Kolopp Christine Burkhardt Mélanie M. Tiago Lausanne, 3 June 218 Updated on 21 Noveber 218

2 COUNTRY PROFILE This country profile on France is taken fro the report Prisons in Europe (link), which contains 51 profiles on the prison populations in the Prison Adinistrations of the 47 eber States of the Council of Europe. Prisons in Europe presents data on prison populations across Europe fro 25 to 215. It is divided in two volues: Volue 1 presents country profiles based on several indicators concerning prison populations, and Volue 2 includes all the data used for the report. The report has been prepared by the University of Lausanne and co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe. Each country profile includes a Table with Key Facts about the country, which are presented in the for of several indicators referring to the latest available year and to the evolution during the latest ten years, as well as the relative position of the country (low, ediu or high) for each indicator copared to the 28 eber States of the European Union ( EU 28 ) and the 47 eber States of the Council of Europe ( CoE 47 ). The classification in low, ediu and high is based on the coparative indicators presented in Part 2 of the study. The country profile is divided in four sections and includes 8 Figures. The four sections are the following: - Key facts - The country in brief: This section suarizes the trends shown in the key facts fro 25 to 214/15. It illustrates which indicators have increased, which have decreased and which have reained stable. The indicator is considered as showing a stable trend if the variation is lower than 5%. - The country in coparative perspective: This section copares each country to the rest of the countries included in the study. General coents: This section includes eight Figures, coents to these Figures and soe possible explanations of the observed trends. The eight Figures are nubered fro 1 to 8 within each country profile and also include, between brackets, their absolute nuber fro 1 to 48. The Key facts include indicators of stock and flow. The stock indicators refer to the situation on 1st Septeber 215. The flow indicators refer to the situation during the year 214. On the basis of the data included in this study, we have calculated for each indicator the average for the 1 to 11 years under study. This average is presented in the fifth colun of the country profiles. Finally, the last colun of the country profiles provides a graphic indicator of the trend observed when one copares the last year of the series (214 and 215 respectively) to the first one (25). The arrows included in this colun reflect the evolution of the indicator according to the following table: +/- 4.9% stable +5 to +9% slight increase +1 to +19% oderate increase +2 to +49% substantial increase +5% and ore huge increase -5 to -9% slight decrease -1 to -19% oderate decrease -2 to -49% substantial decrease -5% and ore huge decrease
