A detainee hospitalized after setting fire to his cell in Villepinte: the prison administration in the sights


Will the inmate of the Villepinte remand center (Seine-Saint-Denis) hospitalized in Paris since Tuesday be the third prisoner in the space of seven years to die following a cell fire? The 26-year-old man is currently “between life and death”, according to his lawyer, Me Salomé Cohen. “His vital prognosis is engaged”, confirms the Bobigny prosecution, which specifies that “the fire was caused by the prisoner himself”.
