Incarceration Costs: Manuel Bompard opposes prisoners bearing costs, arguing it could impede reintegration into society.
New Article:
Hey, here's a lowdown on the recent debate surrounding prison costs and inmates' contribution, as proposed by Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin. Deputy Manuel Bompard, the head honcho of La France insoumise, ain't too fond of the idea. According to Bompard, makin' inmates pay for their own lock-up could make their reintegration into society a bloody nightmare.
On Tuesday, April 29, ol' Bompard spilled the beans on our website, claimin' that systematically milkin' inmates for their incarceration costs could turn out to be a real nitpick for their future. Although Darmanin announced his intentions to "re-establish" inmate incarceration fees on TF1, he wants to keep 'em symbolic but substantial. He reckons the money from these "contributions to the public service of justice" could fund better working conditions for the correctional officers.
Now, Darmanin ain't just that keen on askin' the inmates for their cash; he's determined to change the law to make it happen. But, the storydon't end there – ol' Bompard's got other ideas up his sleeve. In an open letter to the prison staff posted on Twitter, Darmanin expressed his desire for "inmate participation" in these costs.
As for the Controller General of Places of Detention (CGLPL), they've been critical of prison conditions in France for quite some time, but there's no documented opposition to this specific policy in the records we've got. Keep in mind though, that the abundance of political discussions akin to Marine Le Pen’s ineligibility and mosque security measures have overshadowed the news on this issue. So, it's possible that more information might emerge as the political landscape evolves. Stay tuned!
