Marseille’s maison d'arrêt

Les Baumettes holds men in remand and short sentences for the Marseille judicial area. CGLPL reports have highlighted overcrowding; they are not inmate lists.

PACA placement

Toulon, Nice, or Aix courts may still place people at Baumettes depending on capacity. Confirm with counsel — PACA has other établissements.

Visites

Permis de visite via justice.gouv.fr framework and Baumettes greffe practice. Summer visit queues and security are intense — arrive early with valid ID.
