In France in recent years, the spotlight has been on the state of French prisons. The incarceration of well-known figures who have chosen to publish details of the conditions of their detention, and prison doctor Veronique Vasseur's revelations about the Paris prison La Sante shocked the nation, forcing politicians to act. Two major reports by the Assemblee nationale and Senate concluded that France's prisons were une humiliation pour la Republique. But the grande loi penitentiaire envisaged by Jospin did not come to fruition. Several reports later (on non-custodial sentences, prison work and prison suicides), will the massive prison-building campaign aimed at tackling the overcrowding at the source of the crisis be the only solution implemented? The article commences with a brief historical overview of the origins of the French prison system, outlining the evolution in attitudes towards incarceration. We then review the state of France's prisons today and examine recent attempts at prison reform. |
