Sentenced at the end of November 2024 to five years in prison, including two years, for involuntary injuries to a family during an accident that occurred on February 10, 2023, the comedian has been incarcerated for a year in Bordeaux-Gradignan prison.
In this overcrowded prison, more than 1,000 inmates for 633 places, Pierre Palmade is in solitary confinement. Given the extreme media coverage it has received. He is alone in a cell of around ten square meters with at his disposal a bed, a shower, a toilet and basic cooking facilities. To kill time, he watches TV, and he writes, according to several sources. He doesn’t go out for walks much, too “gloomy” for him, according to a caretaker.
The supervisors, who drew up numerous reports on him, described him as “polite, discreet”. And “destroyed”, too. His psychological fragility triggers an intensification of the rounds. On the medical side, he follows his care, a doctor even visits him every week. Medical secrecy requires, we do not know the nature of the treatment for his addictions.
Pierre Palmade will be able to request a modification of his sentence from the month of April, that is to say, finish serving his sentence outside of prison, with an electronic bracelet for example.
