Article R744-19 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

Foreign nationals placed or held in an administrative detention centre benefit from reception, information, moral and psychological support and assistance in preparing the material conditions of their departure, which relate in particular to the recovery of the luggage of detained persons, the completion of administrative formalities, the purchase of everyday goods and, where appropriate, links with the country of origin, particularly the family.
To carry out these actions, the State has recourse to the French Office for Immigration and Integration. An agreement will set out the terms and conditions under which the agents of this public body will be assigned and involved.

Article R744-19


Les étrangers placés ou maintenus dans un centre de rétention administrative bénéficient d’actions d’accueil, d’information, de soutien moral et psychologique et d’aide pour préparer les conditions matérielles de leur départ, qui portent notamment sur la récupération des bagages des personnes retenues, la réalisation de formalités administratives, l’achat de produits de vie courante et, le cas échéant, les liens avec le pays d’origine, notamment la famille.
Pour la conduite de ces actions, l’Etat a recours à l’Office français de l’immigration et de l’intégration. Une convention détermine les conditions d’affectation et d’intervention des agents de cet établissement public.
