In February 2023, Pierre Palmade caused a terrible car accident in Seine-Saint-Denis, seriously injuring three people. A fact concerning which the comedian had to answer before the courts which, at the end of his trial, then sentenced him to a prison sentence. Incarcerated in Bordeaux-Gradignan prison (located in Nouvelle-Aquitaine) since the beginning of December, he was then placed in solitary confinement given his high media coverage. But now, if Muriel Robin’s former friend is serving his sentence there like any other convict, everything suggests that his incarceration poses some problems with the prison staff…
Pierre Palmade in prison: the daily life of the guards has become “unbearable and unmanageable“
In the columns of the newspaper France Sundayon January 3, our colleagues revealed extensive details on the comedian’s incarceration in prison. According to their information, the 56-year-old comedian has received, since his arrival in the establishment, several letters (of insults and support) and gifts from various people. This would add additional work to the prison guards, whose daily lives would then be much more difficult to manage. Because faced with the large number of gifts sent to the fifty-year-old, they would spend more time examining each letter and package received by the condemned man. An unprecedented situation which then encouraged the prison union denounced a context which had become both “unbearable and unmanageable“.
Pierre Palmade in prison: an inmate like no other?
Still according to information from France Sundayprison staff at Bordeaux-Gradignan prison have also spent more time monitoring Pierre Palmade since his arrival in the establishment. Thus, unlike the other prisoners, the comedian would be monitored very closely by the guards during each trip. Whether he goes to the shower or to the visiting room, he would be systematically monitored or accompanied by one of the guards. A treatment which would be very different from that granted to other convicts.
