Unusual. After having eaten in the visiting room, a detainee accused of “concealing a kebab”

The bill is salty for this 16-year-old. Detained in November 2018 at the prison for minors in Lavaur (Tarn), he receives a visit from his mother in the visiting room. The latter had brought her son a kebab, which violates the rules of the visiting room where food is prohibited.

The young man does not have time to finish his sandwich which the supervisors have taken back from him, in accordance with the regulations. The teenager then gets angry and insults the prison staff.

Six months suspended sentence

Three years later, he was therefore prosecuted in Castres for “concealing a kebab” and contempt on Wednesday.

The public prosecutor assured that it was a “real health danger” when food is brought to detainees in the visiting room because the cold chain is not always respected. She also recalled that the defendant had often been noted for his violent behavior and required a six-month suspended prison sentence, reports The Dispatch.

“It is an absurd file”, defended the lawyer of the defendant. The young man received the six-month suspended prison sentence required by the prosecution.

Kebab is not welcome in the visiting room

In 2014, a kebab brought to the visiting room was already the cause of a conviction. While visiting a childhood friend imprisoned in Réau prison (Seine-et-Marne) for drug trafficking, a 38-year-old man came to the visiting room with a bar of nine grams of cannabis in his sock and hid two Greek sandwiches under his T-shirt.

He defended himself by evoking “an oversight on his part” for the drug, then reported The Parisian. “As for the sandwiches, it’s because my friend doesn’t eat meat in prison and that’s where it was halal,” the man at the Melun Correctional Court said. His explanations had not been convincing and he had been sentenced to one month in prison with probation and a € 1,500 fine.
