In Magnanville, opponents of the future prison are determined: “It will be a long-term fight” A prison with 700 places is to be created in the immediate vicinity of the high school and a residential area. Residents and elected officials demonstrated this Saturday to mark – once again – their opposition to this project for a new prison complex.

It is planned to accommodate 700 detainees there, some of whom are on semi-release by 2028. Already hostile in principle to the reception of this penitentiary center imposed on it by the State, the municipality is all the more upset as the thorny question of the precise location has been resolved.
