High-security prisons: an admission of weakness that will solve nothing
Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin has decided to saturate the media with the inauguration of his two high-security prisons, designed to house "the 200 biggest drug traffickers, in very strict detention conditions designed to cut them off from the outside world."
Since mid-July, the first inmates have been admitted to these ultra-secure facilities desired by Gérald Darmanin. This admission of weakness reveals the state's inability to stem the rise of corruption and will do nothing to address the problems plaguing the entire criminal justice system. Théo Bourrieau and Bruno Rieth take stock.
