Etablissement du Simplon

Etablissement du Simplon

Etablissement du Simplon is a detention facility situated in Lausanne, Switzerland, and founded in April 2012. It is owned by the State Penitentiary Service (SPEN) of the canton of Vaud, located in the French-speaking region of the country. The Etablissement is mostly a halfway house but it also acts as a prison for a very limited number of residents. The primary purpose of the Simplon facility is to carry out custodial sentences in the form of semi-custodial and work release program. The institution aims to achieve two specific objectives: they want to prevent a complete disconnection from society for individuals semi-custodial sentences and want to facilitate the professional reintegration of convicted individuals.

about

The residents of the Etablissement are in charge of their own schedules and have to make appointments themselves, there are a few activities offered because most residents have to work. Residents who are paid for their work are expected to help pay for accommodation costs. The amount of time they spend on activities and the nature of these depend on the category they belong to. There is also a small workshop where manual labor is done. Despite the fact that the authorities are continually ensuring that a broad consensus is maintained around the Etablissement project, there is a poorly interaction between the institution and the local community.

Visited during the wish-eu project

Small-scale, differentiated and community-integrated facilities can be found in many European countries. There is not one, but a thousand detention houses. As part of the two-year WISH-EU Project, Prison Insider developed an interactive map that visualizes a database of detention facilities from various European regions. Throughout this European-funded project, we identified and visited over 40 good practices that apply one or more of the following principles: small-scale, differentiation and community-integration. Since then, RESCALED has continued to identify and visit practices whose stories can inspire us to drive systemic change. We have further developed the map to include various filters and detailed reports so you can get to know these inspirational practices!
