For their greatest misfortune, they are not very numerous. The call to a national rally, on September 20 in Paris, of the penitentiary directors of integration and probation (DPIP) will not make any noise, while they are around 500 in France. These personnel of supervision of the departmental services for the care of the probation and reintegration policy of 175,000 people on the other hand in open environment, the 15,000 people on an electronic bracelet and the 72,000 prisoners are demanding from the Ministry of Justice a reform of their status and a revaluation of their allowances.
