Permission to leave the prison is granted or refused by reasoned order, after consulting the director of prison services, the director of the public health establishment and the public prosecutor.
The public prosecutor or the detainee may appeal against these orders to the president of the regional security detention court within five days of notification.
An appeal by the public prosecutor within twenty-four hours against an order granting permission has suspensive effect and the case must be examined within two months, failing which the appeal is null and void.
