See also above under 5.15.1 (admission) persons who are cooperating to the organization of their return can be released earlier (“Tribunal d’Application des Peines”) after Judgment or even up to six months before they are in the conditions for early release / end of sentence. If possible a transfer to an immigration detention centre shall be avoided and a direct transfer from prison to the country of origin shall be organized. In order to facilitate identification (and the obtaining of travel documents) a videoconferencing pilot project has been started (in two prisons and in the detention centres), so that consular officers can interview the detainees without a necessity to go to the prison.
