Article R249-29 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

Before the expiry of the time limit set pursuant to article R. 249-27, the prison administration shall send an information report to the judge on the measures taken or proposed to the detainee.

A copy of this report is sent by any means to the applicant’s lawyer or, if the applicant is not assisted by a lawyer, to the applicant.

On receipt of this report, the judge may proceed, where appropriate in accordance with the procedures laid down in the article R. 249-24, checks to ensure that the conditions of detention contrary to the applicant’s dignity have been ended.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R249-29

Avant l’expiration du délai fixé en application de l’article R. 249-27, l’administration pénitentiaire adresse un rapport d’information au juge sur les mesures prises ou proposées au détenu.


Copie de ce rapport est adressée par tout moyen à l’avocat du requérant, ou, si celui-ci n’est pas assisté par un avocat, au requérant.


A la réception de ce rapport, le juge peut procéder, le cas échéant selon les modalités prévues à l’article R. 249-24, aux vérifications permettant de s’assurer qu’il a été mis fin aux conditions de détention contraires à la dignité du requérant.
