An essential measure "to ensure that small penalties are dissuasive". 

INTERVIEW

Should we expand the French prison stock?

This is in any case the opinion of Eric Ciotti who even wishes to see the country endow itself with about "100,000 additional prison places".

"Today, 83,000 enforceable prison sentences are awaiting execution in our country for a cruel lack of space", indicates the candidate for the LR nomination for the presidential election.

A figure that he holds from the "Keeper of the Seals", Eric Dupond-Moretti.

"To ensure that the small sentences are not systematically deconstructed, so that the sanction has a meaning and therefore that it is dissuasive yes, we need more prison places. I estimate these places around 100,000 today" , said Eric Ciotti.
