These places are regularly called the shame of the Republic : they're overcrowded, unsanitary and falling apart. Here are some pictures (taken in '06) of the isolation cell ("mitard") in a Parisian prison : https://picasaweb.google.com/rue89.com/QuartierDisciplinaireDeLaPrisonDeFleuryMRogis. I wouldn't lock up a dog in there, much less a human being. This highlights the disgusting, inhumane state of the French prison system.
