A mother was sentenced to six months' imprisonment by the Béziers criminal court for bringing drugs to her son in the visiting room of Béziers prison.

To this sentence is added the revocation of a probationary sentence from a previous conviction: she had already been sentenced in 2020 by this same court, for having participated in drug trafficking.

She will have to serve her sentence in the form of house arrest with an electronic bracelet.

On October 5, the guards of the Béziers penitentiary center had reported to the police station that a mother, who had come to visit her detained son, had given him 26 grams of cannabis resin.

The police immediately took her into custody.

"On June 28, 2022, the public prosecutor's office, the penitentiary center and the Béziers police station signed a protocol aimed at improving the mechanisms for combating offenses committed in detention", recalls the public prosecutor of Béziers, Raphaël Balland. .

His son, a repeat offender, notably for drug trafficking, was also sentenced to one year's imprisonment for these acts, with continued detention.
