Article R744-21 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

To enable them to exercise their rights effectively, foreign nationals held in a detention facility may benefit from the assistance of a legal entity, at their request or at the latter’s initiative, under conditions defined by an agreement concluded by the Prefect or, in Paris, by the Police Prefect.
In each detention facility, this assistance is provided by a single legal entity.

Dans chaque local de rétention, ce concours est assuré par une seule personne morale.
