Justice and intelligence: the orginal emergence of prison intelligence in France

The SDRT-IC3 is organizing a study day on an original organizational emergence within French intelligence: that of prison intelligence. The main aim of the event is to bring together a number of those directly involved in, or following, the gradual reinforcement of prison intelligence; it will seek to cross-reference analyses of a complex phenomenon, whose recent institutional consecration must not mask a gradual and divisive evolution over the long term.

Key questions will focus on :

• The understanding of intelligence within the Ministry of Justice, between distrust, mistrust and investment 
• The institutional transformation of intelligence activities within the prison administration, from indifference to consecration 
• Relations between prison intelligence and other specialized offices and French intelligence services: between ignorance, instrumentalization and genuine cooperation
• Other Western systems in place
