The conditions of detention of Pierre Palmade, in prison since the beginning of December, have just been pointed out by one of his guards. At issue: the numerous food deliveries that the comedian and actor would receive.
Sentenced last November to 5 years in prison, including 2 years for causing an accident while driving under the influence of drugs, Pierre Palmade has been sleeping in prison since the beginning of December. The actor and comedian is incarcerated at Bordeaux-Gradignan prison in a cell normally isolated from other inmates.
The anger of Pierre Palmade’s guards
If officially Pierre Palmade’s detention is proceeding normally, some rumors in the corridor indicate a certain annoyance among some of his guards. At the beginning of January, some would have denounced a “sunbearable and unmanageable situation” by pointing out the additional work that the famous inmate represents for them. They would thus have mentioned the long moments spent examining the gifts and letters received by Pierre Palmade but also the very close surveillance necessary at all times for the one who is in “great psychological fragility“. “It will inevitably break (…) it will not hold up.”a member of the prison administration was concerned recently, referring to the conditions of detention of Pierre Palmade described as ““inhuman” due to the dilapidation of the premises.
Pierre Palmade’s cell, a “room service” for his guards
And that’s not all since France Dimanche affirms, in its latest issue published this Friday, that guards are also now complaining about the numerous food deliveries received by the former sidekick of Muriel Robin and Michèle Laroque. “It’s room service.”would have quipped one of the guards, evoking the numerous “sweet treats“received by Pierre Palmade. According to our colleagues, the actor and humorist would have in fact replaced his addiction to illicit substances and alcohol with another temptation: sugar, and more particularly chocolate. “Food or behavioral addictions are common in closed environments. They often replace addictions to illicit substances by offering immediate satisfaction and avoid confronting prisoners with their trauma.specifies, in France Dimanche, a prison psychologist.
