FRIDAY 3 OCTOBER 2025 – ARLETTY CULTURAL CENTER 9:30 a.m. – Welcome Arletty Room 9:45 a.m. – Welcome of participants by Tibault GROLLEMUND, Mayor of Le Palais. 10 a.m. – From the Penal Code of 1791 to the new Code of Criminal Justice for Juveniles by Mathias GARDET, historian at the Institute of Contemporary History, head of the “Children in Justice” Exhibition Center in Savigny-sur-Orge (National School for the Judicial Protection of Youth, ENPJJ) Since the French Revolution and the recognition of a specific justice system for the youngest among us, establishing in particular a “minority excuse”, the history of juvenile justice seems subject to major pendulum movements, which emphasize, over time, the desire to protect young people or to protect society. Thus, public policies alternate between the temptation to punish and that of educating, with varying degrees of emphasis. Today's stage: a desire to further tighten the justice system for minors and their parents. Conference followed by a discussion with the public. 11:15 a.m. - Visit to the Chapel 11:30 a.m. - Presentation of the exhibition "I write your name..." Photographs presenting the graffiti of children locked up at Château Fouquet at the end of the 19th century. Signing of the new multi-year agreement between the Ministry of Justice (Department of Judicial Protection of Youth) and the La Colonie association.* 12:30 p.m. - Lunch at the Chapel 2 p.m. Juvenile delinquency in cinema, by Roxane HAMERY, professor of film studies in the Department of Performing Arts, University of Rennes 2. From Chien perdu sans collier with Jean Gabin as a juvenile judge in the 1950s, to La tête haute, this time with Catherine Deneuve in the role of the judge, French cinema often evokes juvenile justice. Juvenile judges and young offenders produce remarkable fictional figures. How does cinema view these young people? How are the figures of delinquent childhood evolving in cinema? What do these images tell us about society and how it perceives its turbulent and delinquent youth? Conference followed by a discussion with the audience. Screening of the trailer for the exhibition "Children's Justice in the Movies." 4 p.m. On the side of the "bad girls," a history of the placement of young girls by Véronique BLANCHARD, doctor of history, lecturer-researcher at the University of Angers, and David NIGET, lecturer-researcher in history at the University of Angers / Temos Laboratory. In the 20th century, the penal colony and the IPES of Belle-Ile only took in boys. But how were young girls considered deviant or delinquent taken care of? In which establishments were they placed? What were the rules that organized their daily lives in institutions, very often run by religious congregations, responsible for putting these "bad girls" back on the right path? The historians' presentation will be enriched by the testimonies of people who rebelled against the institutions. The voices of these "invisible" people will be restored by actresses. Conference followed by a discussion with the public. 8:30 p.m. - BAD GIRLS by Emérance DUBAS (2022), in the presence of the director, at the cinema Le petit bal perdu SATURDAY OCTOBER 4, 2025 CHILDREN'S JUSTICE IS ON THE CINEMA!
