When the hospitalisation of a prisoner is required under the conditions referred to in article R. 6111-39, the head of the penitentiary establishment shall notify the director of the health establishment as soon as possible so that he can take all necessary steps to ensure that the prisoner is accommodated in suitable premises, so that he can be cared for under the conditions provided for below without causing any inconvenience to the hospital service or to other patients.
The head of the prison must also provide all useful information to the departmental prefect or, in the department of Bouches-du-Rhône, to the Bouches-du-Rhône police prefect in order to enable him to prescribe the escort and custody of the hospitalised prisoner by the police or gendarmerie services and, in general, to take the appropriate measures to avoid any incident taking into account the personality of the subject.
