Saad Lamjarred in Paris Prison Secrets

The article focused on the conditions of Fleury Prison in France, one of the largest and most controversial prisons in Europe. Currently housing around two thousand inmates, its capacity does not exceed 1,200 beds. The prison suffers from unprecedented overcrowding, with occupancy rates exceeding 171%, and inmates cramming into bunk beds and sleeping on the floor. Deteriorating sanitary facilities, the spread of rodents and bed bugs, further exacerbates the situation. Authorities are struggling to modernize the facility due to financial pressures and delay in renovation efforts, leading to increased tension between guard unions and governmental pressure to find solutions. The prison also includes special units for high-profile inmates and functions as a temporary holding facility before transfer to central prisons. It bears a grim symbolic history, having been used by the Nazis to torture French resistance fighters and carry out past executions. Currently, it faces new security threats from criminal networks utilizing drones to smuggle prohibited items.
