L’externalisation des missions de l’administration pénitentiaire : l’impact du développement de la gestion déléguée

Abstract

Externalizing the Prison Administration’s Tasks : the Impact of the Delegated Management Development Developed in 1986, the idea of conferring the construction and operation of french prisons to private companies has today become a reality with the adoption and the entry into effect of the Act of 22 June 1987. This has created an important model of shared management in which some tasks may be delegated to private sector firms while the administration retains control over a hard core of activities where competences cannot be transferred.
