French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin has called for increased resources for the country's prisons to address overcrowding and improve conditions. He emphasized that many prisons are currently undignified but stressed the need to maintain a clear message toward victims. Darmanin also announced plans to open a second penitentiary school and advocated for more prison places and better working conditions for guards, citing the situation at the Nîmes prison. In addition to prison reforms, Darmanin is prioritizing the fight against fraudulent marriages, particularly those aimed at obtaining French nationality. He has issued a circular to prosecutors to intensify efforts against such marriages, which has elicited mixed reactions from local officials. Some, like Robert Ménard, mayor of Béziers, argue that the measures do not go far enough, while others view the circular as reiterating existing laws. Meanwhile, an investigation has been opened following reports of unauthorized phone use in prison cells, linked to a case involving Emma Paris. Public debate continues on the adequacy of detention conditions, with some critics describing them as undignified and highlighting governmental challenges in addressing these issues.
