France has one of the highest prison overcrowding rates in Europe (120% of its prison capacity) and has been condemned by the ECHR for its "degrading conditions of detention". French inmates can live in less than 3m² and their suicide rate is twice the european average. https://www.coe.int/en/web/portal/-/prison-overcrowding-remains-a-problem-in-europe-council-of-europe-s-annual-penal-statistics-for-2023 https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20230806-france-s-overcrowded-prison-population-reaches-all-time-high https://www.rfi.fr/en/europe/20130504-french-prison-suicide-rate-twice-european-average
