Prison director since 1999 and head of establishment since 2011 successively in an open regime prison (minimum security), at the French-speaking staff training center and then at the Marche-en-Famenne prison (maximum security), I have continuously oriented my professional practice towards projects that mobilize the human aspects of detention, the improvement of conditions and human relations in detention. Through the use of the same descriptive tool of the personality (the enneagram), used as a scientifically validated typological tool, I have initiated a training process with prison staff and inmates in order to promote exchanges, communication and conflict resolution. The ultimate goal of this approach is to create a culture of mutual respect and dynamic security within the prison.
