Prison and Television: First Images

The documentary series “Les Prisons” was shown on French television in prime-time. For the first time, and to increase public awareness of prison reform, the carceral world opened its doors to a television crew investigating the inmates’ living conditions. With Charles Brabant behind the camera, Frédéric Pottecher fields direct, incisive and insistent questions, with a strong presence and ability to listen.
