The Vendin-Le-Vieil Penitentiary Center (Pas-de-Calais) welcomed its first 17 prisoners on Tuesday, July 22. According to Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin, the other “biggest criminals” should be transferred to this high security prison in early August. “
“In early August, the 100 largest criminals will be in Vendin-Le-Vieil,” said the Seal Guardian at the TF1 set on Tuesday.
Gérald Darmanin claims to have prepared a list of drug drugs “the” most dangerous “between 500 and 600 names” classified according to their “danger.”
“The first 100 (…) will go to Vendin-Le-Vieil. Then, in Condé-Sur-Sarthe, this second prison established at this time, before October 15,” said the minister also citing the district of the Ultra Second prison in Guyana, as well as the possibility of opening a “other district.”
“The country is likely to change to narcobanditism”
The objective of these high security prisons? Limit the contacts of the prisoners “to immense financial capacities” with the outside and avoid “corruption.”
“The country is likely to change to narcobanditism. We do as in Italy (…) with an extremely difficult prison, it is true, but necessary,” said Gérald Darmanin in TF1 that defends “more firmness in prisons.”
The arrest of criminals has been particularly reinforced, in particular with a restriction of the telephone time slots (2×2 hours/week) to guarantee real -time listening, systematic complete excavations after any contact with the constant external monitoring of the penitentiary administration or the elimination of access to family life units. The hygiaphones are installed “to avoid” objects, such as phones, have died “to the prisoners, said the minister.
In Vendin they are already imprisoned to Salah Abdeslam, sentenced to an incompressible life for the attacks of November 13, 2015 in Paris and Saint-Denis, and the thief of multiple Sardoine clefts that has already escaped twice in prison.
The drug trafficker Mohamed Amra, whose bloody escape in May 2024 has cost the lives of two prison agents and is currently imprisoned in Condé-Sur-Sarthe, must also be transferred to him. “It will be particularly guarded,” said Gérald Darmanin.
