“Kohlanness” in Fresnes: “Dupond-Moretti’s position is not tenable”, launches Julien Dive

An episode of “Kohlanness”, a program broadcast on YouTube which imitates the famous television program “Koh-Lanta” and which aims to raise funds for several neighborhood associations, was filmed at Fresnes prison a year ago. fortnight. The video, published on Friday and which shows inmates and guards confronting each other in various events, has aroused several strong reactions, in particular political ones. “A prison is not a supermarket, we do not come in like that”, launched Julien Dive, LR deputy for Aisne and vice-president of the economic affairs committee, on Europe 1 on Tuesday.

“I would prefer that he play the sincerity”

“It is obvious that the position ofÉric Dupond-Moretti is not tenable”, continued the deputy of Aisne. The Keeper of the Seals had posted on Twitter: “After the shocking images of the prison of Fresnes, I immediately ordered an investigation so that any light is shed.” An answer that surprises Julien Dive. “You can’t imagine that his cabinet was not informed, maybe even him. For a simple reason, you need authorizations to invest, to be able to put the material that has been put in. I would prefer that he plays sincerity and that he says ‘yes I have validated this project’, that he comes to answer for it before the commission of laws”, he affirmed.

After the shocking images from Fresnes prison, I immediately ordered an investigation to shed light. The fight against recidivism goes through reintegration but certainly not through karting!

“We need strong justice”

For the vice-president of the Economic Affairs Committee, it is now necessary to “shed light” on the state of French prisons. “There were only 2,000 prisons delivered between 2012 and 2017, it took 10 to 15,000. How do you expect the French not to have a feeling of distrust in relation to justice? A feeling of distrust in relation to to state authority if they feel it is not firm?” he asked.

“We need to have justice that is supported, a prison system that is supported. That means behind, to accompany, to put the means so that our French prisons are up to it”, he concluded.
