In 2017, the Pic Ardie will see one of its oldest institutions close prisons: the prison in Compiègne, opened in 1867. Its capacity is 82 seats. Specify the imm- ediately: there are almost no sources addressing the history of this institution on the Internet. However, many online articles have different reactions surrounding the closure of that institution. The assembly could establish the 'story of a rescue that was never envisaged. " The conversion of the site even appears to be already found. A document available online e is a reference sure to present this property: the inspection report of the Comptroller General of places of deprivation of liberty. 
(Gateway to the prison at Compiègne) If one refers to articles, differe nt reasons favor the absence of local reaction to the safeguarding of the prison. The main without doubt the future of residents living close as a liberation. Indeed, a neighborhood resident ntiel is built around the prison. Its residents suffer steadily increasing and inconvenience inherent in this situation.
"... Twenty-three old prisons will close and r e mplacées by new detention centers more modern. That of Compiegne, located in the heart of a residential area, closed in 2015 (...). Good news for local residents, who almost daily have to suffer the vagaries of the prison system. Rose and Antonin *, a retired couple, take this news with philosophy. "There was a proposed city court, but it's forgotten. One thing is for sure, no regrets ra no prison if she moved. It was used to stealth declaration of love on the street or to the horn. And the days of parlor, found cans and étritus our doorstep. Visitors are even mounted on cars parked in the street to throw the packages. It happened to one of our neighbors! But overall, we are less exposed than others. Some even have common walls with the prison. (...) * Names have been changed. "

added that since the beginning, a major element does not seem play in favor of preserving the prison: its age. As the other 22 schools ordered to close, replace the jail in a state would need a lot of money. But even if this problem had been resolved, another would have persisted: the lack of space to accommodate remand and sentenced. As suggested by the words of residents of the prison with the promiscuity Homes is already very important, there is no possibility to enlarge it. Politicians prefer to turn up the page and look ahead. Thus, their support goes to the draft con struction of a new prison at Beauvais in 2015. Its capacity is 700 places. Nothing seems precisely determined yet. Ajou tones that the municipality has long seemed to want the closure of the facility to carry out urban development projects (more consistent with the wishes of residents):
"Even before the announcement in July of this irrevocable decision, services of the municipality had anticipated the demise of the old jail 143 years. "We prepare ourselves," admits the aedile *. Our local plan provides for a vocation of individual dwellings on this site. Once the Department of Justice will sell its land, a tender will be launched. Four homes or small buildings "The site area is 4000 m2, we expect four houses or a small collective in harmony with the architecture of the neighborhood," he says. " (* Philippe Marini mayor of Compiegne)

If the functional argument is used to justify closing the prison, he is also invoked to encourage its continuation. Thus the prison staff, among others-conscious of having to work in Beauvais, sixty miles from home-that most is in a dehumanized future establishment-have tried to form a resistance against the decision to close the prison. As some articles have even been able to find support among the local magistrates.
"Why close the prison at Compiegne? That is the question that arises Erika Pin. Penalty enforcement judge and representative of the Union of Magistrates, she visited the scene Monday. Routine visit as part of the duties of a magistrate? Not only.
late July, the Attorney General, Michele Alliot-Marie, announced the closure of 23 prisons in the next few years, including Compiegne. Too old. "An announcement of the blue, without any consultation, regrets Erika Spindle, display policy. "
The magistrate has the less the decision, she found " a clean " : " I not seen crusty walls, as at Amiens, where it has not changed. In each cell, there are showers, toilets and separate closed. Inmates complain especially of the parlor is a common room and lack of privacy. (...) "
Despite these protests, it seems clear that closing the prison will take place. It remains to be seen what will happen to the projects planned for redevelopment the site in the coming years. One can imagine that the memory of the prison quickly disappear minds, especially as Compiegne has another place to proven historical significance-linked to the memory of the prison: the former internment camp Royallieu .
