Minister of Justice Eric Dupond-Moretti will travel to Marseille on the morning of Wednesday August 3 to visit the construction site of the Baumettes 3 prison establishment, franceinfo learned on Tuesday from a government source.
He will meet local residents and elected officials about the nuisances linked to the Baumettes 2 prison. For five years and the opening of floors higher than the prison wall, the collective of inhabitants “The neighbors of Baumettes“complains of shouting, insults and even improvised visiting rooms at night in the middle of the street, notes France Bleu Provence. The collective arrested the Bouches-du-Rhône police headquarters on Monday to put an end to these nuisances.
The Baumettes penitentiary center, located in the southern districts of Marseille, is being renovated. A new remand center with 740 places should be built by 2025 alongside a first extension of 1,182 places, “Baumettes 2”, opened in 2018.
