Centre de semi-liberté de Gagny, Correctional facility in Gagny, France
The Semi-Liberty Center in Gagny is a correctional facility housed in a four-story building with dedicated spaces for resident accommodation. The basement serves archival functions while the upper levels contain residential and administrative areas.
The facility was originally built in 1975 as a juvenile judicial services building and was repurposed as a semi-liberty center in 1986. This conversion reflected a shift toward community-based approaches for resident rehabilitation.
The center implements programs focusing on professional training, legal counsel, and employment assistance to support inmates' reintegration into society.
Residents at this facility follow a structured daily schedule that permits daytime departures for work or activities while requiring nighttime presence. The building's location at 38 Avenue Aristide Briand makes it easily accessible from public transport connections in the area.
The center recorded approximately 300 entry and exit movements in 2012, with only four recorded escape attempts during that period.
