Talk:Clairvaux Prison

Why is Michel Foucault mentioned at the 'See Also' section of the article?

I'm not sure whether it is relevant or irrelevant, so I'm just leaving a note here for someone who knows better... 46.177.54.215 (talk) 02:20, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Notable prisoners

The article says "Ilich Ramírez Sánchez (also known as Carlos the Jackal) is currently serving his life sentence here." Any evidence for this. According to French Wikipedia fr:Ilich Ramírez Sánchez "Initialement détenu à la maison d’arrêt de la Santé à Paris, il est actuellement incarcéré à la maison centrale de Poissy dans les Yvelines". (initially detained at La Santé, now at Poissy - French Wikipedia has said this since 2008).

A bit of searching through French websites has produced the following:

Libération on 28 July 2009 ([1], in a quiz on the European elections, included the question "Le lundi 1er juin, en plein meeting, Dieudonné M’bala M’bala, tête de liste «antisioniste» en Ile-de-France, reçoit un coup de téléphone de soutien de :". The correct answer was given as" b. Illitch Ramirez Sanchez dit «Carlos» depuis la prison de la Santé."

La Voix des Opprimes 24 June 2009 reproduced here says "Illich Ramirez Sanchez (Illitch Ramirez Sanchez est né le 12 octobre 1949 à Caracas), tel qu’il est aujourd’hui à l’âge de 60 ans, enlevé à Khartoum par le général RONDOT, emprisonné en France depuis 1994 et incarcéré à la prison de Clairvaux, détenu aujourd’hui à la prison de La Santé, purge une peine de prison à perpétuité."

And, interestingly enough, the English Wikipedia article on La Santé Prison lists him as an inmate, citing two sources:

Souchard, Pierre-Antoine. "Panama's ex-dictator Noriega jailed in France." Associated Press. 27 April 2010.

Davies, Lizzie. "Manuel Noriega, former ruler of Panama, sent to jail by French judge." The Guardian. 27 April 2010. ("Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, the Venezuelan terrorist better known as Carlos the Jackal, is currently serving a life sentence there..")

On this basis, it seems that Carlos is not in Clairvaux and I have removed him from the article. Emeraude (talk) 12:06, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Needs basic information

• Size of prison - number of prisoners and number of guards
• Acreage, facilities, annual operating costs

Some basic info should be added.Parkwells (talk) 15:07, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
