In a bold move to curb organized crime, France is relocating its most dangerous drug kingpins to the high-security Vendin-le-Vieil prison.
The initiative, spearheaded by Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin, aims to cut off inmates from external communication, enhancing security measures to prevent criminal activities from behind bars.
Critics, however, argue this decision risks mental health repercussions for the prisoners and accuse Darmanin of leveraging the policy for political gains in light of upcoming elections.
