ASPMP (Association of psychiatry sectors in prison and Apsep (Association of Health Professionals in prison) are against the generalization of data processing software staff on inmates.
The file, named” Genesis “(National People Management jailed for individual monitoring and security), is available by the administrative staff but also by the judge of application of penalties. The software has the purpose of execution of the decisions taken by the judiciary, life management detention and rehabilitation of people.
It also lists information about each detainee in custody and is believed to contain evidence about health care or risk factors for suicide. And this is what causes problems for health professionals.
For the two associations, health professionals who work in prison should not use the software. If they evoke the professional independence compromised by subjection to a penitentiary body – linked to the stress of using an email address @ justice.fr-, they also point the problem of medical confidentiality
. “Held to professional secrecy, health professionals must always ensure that the shared calendar established by the prison administration does not allow to identify the type of consultation which makes the person called by the care unit “highlight associations.
They also warn that” if the functioning of health care in prison and professional secrecy to be hampered by the Genesis device (appointment cancellation, identification of people who visit the psychiatrist, dentist, hepatologist, etc.), health professionals would report it immediately to their supervisory authority, the professional body and the control bodies to places of deprivation of liberty. “
Believing that the software is exclusively prison system, and the Apspep ASPMP denounce “excesses computer.”
The Genesis software, created by the Prison Act of 24 November 2009, will replace another processing data, the GIDE software questioned by the National Data Protection Commission considered obsolete and the technical and functional. The generalization of the software has been recorded by a decree published in the Official Journal in June 2014. But is decried by both associations.
