How is a prisoner followed after his release from prison?

Exit at the scheduled end of the sentence

Control measures are imposed on the convicted person who is released from prison, but who has to carry out a open follow-up sentence. For example, the probation stay or the social and judicial follow-up.

The control measures taken as part of the open-ended supervision sentence impose obligations and prohibitions on the sentenced person that limit his freedom. Examples:

• Prohibition of news infringements
• Limitation of travel
• Obligation to attend care or courses
• Obligation to make a work of general interest

Obligations may also be imposed on the sentenced person who has benefited from reduction of sentence. The duration of these measures is equivalent to the duration of the reduction of the sentence that the person has received. This in the context of post-sentence follow-up or judicial supervision.

Thus, the person may be subject to supervisory and control measures and to more or less stringent obligations. The extent of these measures depends on the severity of the offense and the length of the prison sentence initially imposed.

For the most serious crimes (murder, rape...), the convicted person may be subjected to additional measures of coercion, after the socio-judicial follow-up and judicial supervision. It can be placed in security retention or be subject to safety surveillance.

These 2 measures may be renewed without a time limit.

The convicted person may be entered in a file:

• It shall be entered in the FIJESE: titleContent whether she has been convicted of sexual offenses (rape, touching, etc.) or violent offenses (torture and barbaric acts, etc.). This file allows the tracking and location of convicted persons after their release from prison.
• It shall be entered in the Fijait: titleContent whether she was convicted of acts of terrorism.
