Me Luckmane Délille declared yesterday "It is with honor that I answer the call of the power to replace Me Gérald Norgaisse who kindly perform this function by acting [...] my priority is the juvenile delinquency, beggars around banks, kidnappers and bandits who want to destabilize the country, prolonged pretrial detention [...] everything that the old government commissioner did, we will walk on the same track, to give a response to the population [...] concerning the preventive detention, I'll try to find out who committed minor crimes, petty theft, things that are not serious... and which are in prison for several months, we will review their record, we'll find a way to release them. Prisons are there for notorious criminals and bandits that prevent citizens sleep well in the country [...] to the kidnappers I would say that the ball ended [...] justice should strike terror in the camp of bandits [...]"

Regarding the fight against preventive detention, the new Commissioner will have a lot of work to do, n fact, on 8572 people are currently imprisoned in Haiti, 6170 are in custody. In Port-au-Prince (40% of the prison population of Haiti), he rate of preventive detention is 90.48% !
