In 2019, the lack of studies about mental health of the detained population at retention centers in France is pointed out by the report of Controller-General for Places of Deprivation of Liberty. The aim of this study is to contribute to this relatively untouched field by describing which psychiatric pathologies are encountered in this population who went through migration and retention. Having a clearer picture of the situation can help to provide a more adapted psychiatric care in retention centers.

The results are expected to show a higher rate of psychiatric disease than in the general population including addiction to substance, anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
