An unimaginable prison. A prison for women, bright, clean, with a garden. A prison one does not want to see: 80% or them are drug-addicts, of whom 60% are recidivists and 45% are HIV-positive. Europe’s biggest prison: Fleury-Mérogis. A prison that does not punish but breaks the personality, that does not rehabilitate but teaches how to manage those society does not know what to do with. A precursor of tomorrow’ psychiatric hospital.
