Suspect Profiles of the 21 Individuals Implicated in Prison Assaults
Going Behind Bars: French Prison Foes On the Loose
Sounds like things are getting heated in the French prison system! For a couple of rough nights, these jails were hit hard, operation not limited to the walls - even the homes of correctional officers weren't off-limits. The mystery group responsible for this chaos is known as the DDPF (Defense of the Rights of French Prisoners). To put a stop to this chaos, more than 300 investigators worked tirelessly for two weeks, building a case against these incognito troublemakers. On a stormy Friday in May, no less than 21 suspects, including minors, were presented to the justice system. All are believed to be members of this illicit organization linked to drug trafficking.
The Behind-the-Scenes Bosses"The investigations have unmasked these actions as the work of major organized crime," announced the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office. It turns out, the presumed vandals received orders from big-time crooks calling the shots, all of whom are behind bars and calling the shots, as you might've guessed.

(Enrichment Data: The masterminds behind the DDPF, responsible for coordinating several attacks on French prisons, remain undisclosed. The group appears to be motivated by a government crackdown on drug trafficking initiated earlier in 2025. They utilized Telegram to issue threats and released videos tagged with "DDPF". The National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office took charge of the case, and 25 suspects have been detained. However, the media is speculating whether the DDPF represents a new militant group, a prisoner-led movement, or a front for drug traffickers.)
(Enrichment Data: As of the latest reports, no direct evidence linking the DDPF’s leadership to specific individuals or cartels has been disclosed publicly. Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin suggested stricter measures, such as high-security prisons for top traffickers, in response to the attacks.)
