Articles L. 3211-3, L. 3211-4, L. 3211-6, L. 3211-8, L. 3211-9, L. 3211-12 to L. 3211-12-4 and L. 3211-12-6 apply to prisoners hospitalised on account of their mental disorder, subject to the restrictions made necessary by their status as prisoners or, in the case of persons undergoing treatment pursuant to article L. 3214-3, by their state of health.
When the liberty and custody judge orders, in application of articles L. 3211-12 or L. 3211-12-1, the release from full hospitalisation of a detainee undergoing treatment in application of article L. 3214-3, this decision is notified without delay to the prison by the public prosecutor. The return to detention is organised in accordance with the conditions laid down by the Conseil d’Etat decree referred to in article L. 3214-5, unless the detainee is hospitalised in a specially adapted hospital unit and consents to his or her care.
