Prison guards blocked access to 18 jails on Wednesday to protest working conditions after the stabbing of two guards by a radicalised inmate.
CONDE-SUR-SARTHE, France: Prison guards blocked access to 18 jails on Wednesday to protest working conditions after the stabbing of two guards by a radicalised inmate.
There are fears of a re-run of January 2018 when officers picketed jails for three weeks after an attack by an extremist that left three guards with injuries in northern France. His gang got away with 300 euros and a handful of war medals, leaving the tied-up victim to choke to death. Of the 70,000 people in jail in France, some 500 have been condemned on terrorist-related charges, and 1,200 ordinary inmates have been classified as"radicalised", the minister.The investigation into Tuesday's stabbing is likely to assess why Chiolo was not housed in his prison's special wing despite being radicalised.
