In France, suicide accounts for around half of all deaths in prisons. Every year, around 120 people die by suicide in French prisons, i.e. one suicide every three days. Preventing suicide in prisons is therefore a major public health issue. In this interview With Jean-Pierre Bouchard, Élodie Mao, Thomas Fovet, Christel Debien, Guillaume Vaiva, Christophe Debien and Vincent Jardon provide feedback on the implementation of the VigilanS-Prison system in Hauts-de-France. The main principles of this brief contact intervention are presented, an initial activity report is given and the development prospects for this experiment are discussed
