A BALANCED REFORM FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF FOREIGN DETAINEES: ANALYSIS AND PROPOSAL ACCORDING TO THE BALANCING OF HENRI BARBEBLANCHE

 INTRODUCTION

Henri Barbeblanche, philosopher and creator of Equilibrism, after consulting specialists in French law, lawyers and jurists, proposed an in-depth analysis of the situation of foreign detainees in France. Taking into account several legal, financial and humanitarian aspects, he puts forward a solution based on the principles of balancing. This solution is opposed to the current policy which consists of maintaining foreign detainees, convicted of crimes or offenses, on French soil.

 

1.    Balancing Analysis

 

France, in 2023, had around 72,000 prisoners, including 19,000 foreigners. The average annual cost for a prisoner in France is around 45,000 euros. This means that the management of foreign detainees costs the French state around 855 million euros per year. Some of these prisoners are serving long sentences, thus increasing the total cost over several decades.

 

Henri Barbeblanche observes that not only do these individuals represent a significant financial burden for French taxpayers, but that they could also, in certain cases, use the subtleties of French law to reduce their sentence or delay their expulsion at the end of their detention. These individuals then benefit from care, food, accommodation, and sometimes even professional opportunities for years at state expense.

 

2.    A Balanced and Economic Reform

 

According to Barbeblanche analysis, the most pragmatic and balanced solution would be immediate deportation to their country of origin after the final conviction. This process would ensure that no additional burden weighs on the French prison system, while respecting the legal procedure necessary to pronounce the sentence.

 

3.    Economic benefits:

 

 • Direct savings: If the 19,000 foreign prisoners were deported after their conviction, France would save around 855 million euros per year.

 • Over several decades: For long-term sentences (estimated between 20 and 30 years), this could represent a total saving of up to 25.65 billion euros.

  

4.    Freeing up places in prisons:

 

 The immediate release of these 19,000 places would make it possible to relieve congestion in French prisons, which currently exceed their capacity. This would provide better management of resources and conditions of detention for remaining detainees.

 

5.    Law Reform and Humanity

 

Henri Barbeblanche specifies that this balanced proposal respects the principles of justice while taking into account economic and social reality. It is important to respect the human rights of individuals, but this does not mean that France must bear the cost of their detention indefinitely. By combining justice, humanity and pragmatism, this solution would allow France to free up significant resources for other priority needs.

 

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, this balanced approach does not advocate a break with humanitarian values, but proposes a reform more adapted to current economic and legal realities, while reducing the burden that foreign criminals represent for the French penal system.

BALANCING AND THE MANAGEMENT OF FOREIGN CRIMINALS UNDER OLFT IN FRANCE

INTRODUCTION The issue of foreign criminals under Obligation to Leave French Territory (OLTF) has become a major topic in public debate in France. Faced with citizens' growing expectations for firmer and more adapted justice, proposals vary, but often converge on solutions that are costly for French taxpayers. Among them, the demand that these criminals serve their sentences on French soil raises concerns about the public expenses incurred for individuals who have committed offenses or crimes on the territory.   The philosophy of Balancing, created by Henri Whitebeard, provides an innovative and balanced perspective on this issue. Equilibrism seeks to find a happy medium between justice, humanity, and pragmatism. According to its principles, the best solution would be to immediately return convicted foreign criminals to their country of origin after their judgment, while ensuring that they never return to France. This would provide a balance between protection of citizens, re...

L’ÉQUILIBRISME ET LA GESTION DES CRIMINELS ÉTRANGERS SOUS OQTF EN FRANCE

INTRODUCTION La question des criminels étrangers sous Obligation de Quitter le Territoire Français (OQTF) est devenue un sujet majeur dans le débat public en France. Face aux attentes croissantes des citoyens pour une justice plus ferme et mieux adaptée, les propositions varient, mais convergent souvent vers des solutions coûteuses pour les contribuables français. Parmi elles, la demande que ces criminels purgent leur peine sur le sol français soulève des préoccupations quant aux dépenses publiques engagées pour des individus qui ont commis des délits ou des crimes sur le territoire.   La philosophie de l’Équilibrisme, créée par Henri Barbe Blanche, apporte une perspective innovante et équilibrée sur cette question. L’Équilibrisme cherche à trouver un juste milieu entre la justice, l’humanité, et le pragmatisme. Selon ses principes, la meilleure solution serait de renvoyer immédiatement les criminels étrangers condamnés dans leur pays d’origine après leur jugement, tout en garantis...
