During an ongoing heatwave, inmates at an overcrowded prison in a Paris suburb in Seine-Saint-Denis describe conditions as “inhumane.” France 24 reports that French MP Clémentine Autain visits the facility while temperatures remain high in Paris and witnesses the situation first-hand. The inmates say the extreme heat adds to already difficult living conditions. The National Post adds that overcrowding leaves nearly 200 prisoners sleeping on mattresses placed on the floor or on makeshift bed frames. Both accounts link the prison’s conditions to overcrowding and describe the heatwave as making the environment harder for detainees. No sources cited in the provided excerpts detail official responses from prison authorities, public health officials, or the government, nor do they specify whether any cooling measures are being implemented at the time of reporting. Overall, the reports focus on inmates’ accounts and observations of crowding and lack of adequate sleeping arrangements amid high temperatures.
