Aix-Luynes prison has an average overoccupancy rate of 150% with 2,000 inmates housed in 1,200 places. This is more than the national density on January 1, which was 122.9% in France.
In Aix Luynes, detention conditions are increasingly degraded with mattresses on the ground and increasing violence. “I fear the day when drones will bring weapons made in 3D,” said the public prosecutor of Aix-en-Provence.
