Assurer l'effectivité de la sanction pénale par le rétablissement des peines planchers pour les récidivistes

This is a French private member's bill in the National Assembly's 15th legislature. It proposes bringing back 'peines planchers', mandatory minimum prison terms that courts must impose on people convicted of repeat offences unless they give specific reasons for a lower sentence. The stated aim is to make criminal sanctions more effective and deter reoffending. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full text. The bill would mainly affect people convicted of repeat offences and the judges who sentence them, since it would narrow judicial discretion. Prison administration could also be affected by any resulting rise in custodial sentences. The metadata does not show whether the bill has been amended or adopted.
