After being tried last November, Pierre Palmade has been incarcerated since December 9 at the Bordeaux-Gradignan penitentiary center. While his conditions of detention are far from the standard of living to which he was accustomed until then, the comedian annoys his guards for a very specific reason.
Whether you love him or hate him, Pierre Palmade leaves no one indifferent. Moreover, he receives an astronomical amount of mail in prison. A situation difficult to bear for the staff of the penitentiary center, who denounce an additional workload.
Pierre Palmade taken in by his guards?
After causing a serious road accident while under the influence of drugs, Pierre Palmade retired from public life while awaiting his trial. Sentenced to five years in prison, including two years, the comedian did not appeal the judge’s decision.
Determined to serve his sentence and begin redemption, Pierre Palmade has been incarcerated for several weeks in Bordeaux. His conditions of detention would not be simple. Indeed, the artist’s cell would be located in a dilapidated and poorly insulated building. In addition, he would be forced into solitary confinement and monitored all day by guards.
Fortunately, the comedian can count on the support of his fans. If he spent Christmas and New Year’s Day alone, he can console himself by reading the mail he receives daily. In addition to insulting messages, Pierre Palmade also receives a lot of messages of supportoften accompanied by gifts. A situation which would exasperate the staff of the Bordeaux-Gradignan prison.
Additional workload
According to information from France Sundaythe presence of Pierre Palmade in prison would be difficult for the guards to manage. Its VIP status would generate a surplus of work to prison staff. The prison union even denounced a situation that had become “unbearable and unmanageable”.
While the artist receives dozens of letters every day, the prison guards are forced to open them all in order to check that they do not contain drugs. It is therefore necessary to scrupulously examine each envelope and each gift received by the comedian before sending them to him.
In addition, the presence of Muriel Robin’s former friend forces the staff to monitor each of his outings. Likewise, when he goes to the shower or the visiting room. Exasperated, the guards would regret the presence of this celebrity within their walls.
