shooting. Escorting a prisoner. So. Securing the prison grounds. Hello Sir. What are you doing here? Today, I am going to visit Fleur M regugis prison. I will then go to meet the hedgehogs. You're going to shoot with the block. The prison special forces. And at the end of the video, we'll go and do a real cell operation in a real prison with real prisoners. Here we go OK. Behind me, the Fleur M regugis prison. Here we go. We're going back to Fleur Mugis, where we are, it's the largest prison in Europe. Good morning.
This prison has 4850 inmates. To make a difference, a remand prison is where there are short sentences and people who have not yet been convicted. Next, we have the detention center for people sentenced to long terms. And then we have central prisons for sentences of more than 10 years. Fluurimergurgie is therefore a detention center for people who have not yet been convicted or are serving short sentences. OK. So, where do we go from here So, we go to one of the five buildings of the men's prison and there you go to the family side. All right. All the families who come to visit the prisoners, she passes by there. Exactly. This is the waiting area for visiting rooms. You can see that there are a lot of children's toys too because it's
a family-oriented place. We need to try to make it as pleasant as possible. What we see is all that outfits can convey. That's it. Toothpaste, cotton swab. So Micheline, where are we? So here you are at the arrival area of the Florimirogis prison building. Here we can see that there are several rooms, several doors. We see rest area supervisor here multipurpose room, waiting room. Both outfits pass by there regularly. Quite. So this is the area dedicated to the supervisors. The rest rooms here are for the
guards because when they work there, they have the opportunity to rest. Here are all the activity rooms where the prisoners are received by the medical staff, by the probation officers and ourselves. You mentioned the CPIP earlier. What is the role of the CPIP? So a CPIP is a probation and reintegration counselor. This is the person who is the link between the prisoner and the outside world and who also helps him in the case of sentence adjustments and to prepare him for the pre-release period as well as the tensions. Exactly. to prepare for the outing. What is extremely important is the role played by the probation officer and limiting recidivism as much as possible.
Exactly. What is the pace of life like in prison? So for the prisoners, it starts as soon as the roll call begins. In the morning at 6:45 or 7:00, the officers take attendance. Our goal is to ensure their presence and their liveliness. It's heartbreaking, we were just talking about 4810 inmates, but all the staff who work to supervise these inmates, that includes 1600 people, 1300 guards and for administrative technical support another 300 people. Um Micheline, we're going into a courtroom. What is it for? What is this? So, the arriving detainee is received by different types of people. The officer, CPU, also by the medical service. And how should we react if the prisoner reacts
badly, for example? So, here's the punch button in case of difficulty. We press here and the alarm is relayed to the level of the peak at the level of the agents. All right. Do you think you could show us a cell? Yes of course. OK. This refers to a single cell, but we also have double cells. All right. OK. So it's the same setup with a bunk bed. So here we can see the bed, this is it. What is the view of? On the promenade, is that it? In the courtyard. That's the sports field. We can see a sink and that's the toilet I
imagine. So I sometimes preemptively react to comments from people who will say it's a great luxury for prisoners to live here. They committed a crime and they are housed, fed, and clothed at the taxpayer's expense. As a prison guard, what is your response to this kind of remark/comment? Our goal is to welcome detainees in the most humane way possible because confinement is not easy, especially if it is the first time. How many hours a day does he stay in this room? 22 hours out of 24 on average, do some prisoners sometimes experience claustrophobic attacks?
It can happen. That's why we try to maintain the most humane conditions possible. The people who will be brought to the flower market will pass through this area first. Yes, absolutely. The arrival area is where the detainee gradually acclimates to confinement once they have passed through the arrival area assigned to the floors. And how long does he stay here on average? The minimum is 4 days, the maximum is 21 days. Micheline. This is the first time I've seen this in prison. What is this? So, it's a door stop. This allows our supervisors to be protected in case of an inmate who is a bit aggressive.
How does it actually work? So, there are different levels. We open the hooks. Yeah. Next, we open it at the lock. And then there are different levels. So this allows us to limit the opening without needing to put our foot down. So. To be able to discuss, to check what is happening in the cell before opening it completely, to make sure that the person detained inside is not aggressive and that there is no risk to us. And what happens if the prisoner bangs on the door? The door closes automatically. Go ahead, let's do a test. It's good. When you want to. Wow! Very good kick. OK, that's good. We can free her. It's good. Now we are going to leave Florémogis prison and we have a meeting at the Éis base, the regional
intervention and security team. Come with me, we have a great schedule ahead of us. Anthony, you're in good shape, hello Tibo, welcome to the Paris area. Thank you so much. Anthony, so you're one of the zeros. If you had to explain to a 7-year-old what zeris are, what would you say? Uh, the hermits, well, it's an intervention team that goes to support colleagues in detention. What type of incident will the spike strips be deployed in? So mainly on collective movements such as refusals of reinstatement or detainees barricaded on high points. In the event of a hostage situation, we also participate in
resolving the hostage situation. We are also asked to carry out transfers for high-spectrum detainees with high levels of escort and large external security personnel to ensure everyone's safety. I will follow you throughout the morning. I'm going to get dressed with you. That's it. Here we go. I'm with you then. Here we go. So how are you organized? So in our group, there is a group leader and two deputies. So this is the office of the group leader from Paris. That's done, all the meetings and everything. That's exactly it. Then, we are divided into four sections. So here you'll have the office of section one, section two.
How many men are there here at Zéris Approximately fifty men. We have 56 agents. OK, agreed. And in theory, to be complete, we would need 70 agents. So here, then, you found the office of the two deputies, so to the group leader. So this is the break room where the agents go to eat. OK. It's great, isn't it? And this is the OPS room. So, this is where we're going to brief the agents on the show. And from here, we're really only 2 minutes from Fleur M regis. Do you also have a camera feed of what's happening? No not at all. So how does it work? At ERIS, the establishment will contact the interregional directorate and the director of detention security, so DSD, he's the one who calls you. That's
precisely when we intervene. There we can see your bags, we can see vehicles ready. It's to be able to respond quickly. That's exactly it. So when we are on call, from the moment we start our shift the priority is to load all the weapons and equipment in case we have to be dispatched to an intervention, so that we can leave quickly. There you have the intervention bags, so agents and so they are also loaded in the vehicles to save time in triggering the code. You are also equipped with quad bikes. For what reason? So this type of vehicle is used for all missions involving drone combat. This allows us to project ourselves more quickly onto terrain that we cannot access by vehicle.
This allows us to have a much faster response time. And that's why we use quads. How do you stop a drone? We have security devices that allow us to jam the signal and prevent drone delivery. What is the difference between a transfer and an extraction? So, an extraction, a judicial extraction. We will take the detained person from the facility, we will bring him before his jurisdiction and then we will take him back to his facility. A transfer is when a person detained from one penitentiary establishment is transferred to another penitentiary establishment.
All right. You have a similarly equipped motorcycle. So what's the point when you're in prison? So these motorcycles, we will use them in a pioneering role on a transfer or judicial towing where colleagues will leave in advance to relay information, see if there is no suspicious vehicle, see if the road is clear to also anticipate if there are last minute works, make us change the route and their goal in fact is really to prepare the ground for us in order to facilitate the transfer or extraction. I was told this vehicle wasn't everywhere. What kind of vehicle is it? It's a Toyota LC 200. So it's an armored vehicle that is being tested in Paris and is intended to be developed later on How much does this vehicle weigh?
6 tonnes. OK. Sometimes it takes a lot to drive. It's a V8. Yes, it's a V8. Yeah, we're going to use it for everything related to transporting prisoners. All right. You put the prisoner inside. Exactly. So for obvious safety reasons, we didn't drum the interior of the cabin, but just to get an idea, they are extremely heavy. Whoa! That thing's a tank. Yeah, same here. Extremely heavy. Whoa! The thickness is incredible. OK, I now understand the weight of the vehicle. Yeah, it's huge.
W, the noise that makes it sound impressive. Wow! So here you find the agents' changing room and there, oh yes, the gym. Whoa! Amazing! Wow! Ah yeah, magnificent. So you, you're going to do all the bodybuilding stuff, you've probably figured that out. We saw some gyms and the window, it's absolutely fantastic. It's a great working tool. And so this is where we're going to do our weekends, all the combat sports, so Brazilian jugs, all the ground fighting and boxing.
It's important not to do only weight training. Well, the key word is to be complete, and that has allowed us to have cohesion, self-confidence, and we know each other in case of intervention, we know how we will react. It's now or never to get rowing, guys. It's the same in the ring, they're filming you. For example, it's March right now. How many missions have you been required to carry out there? Currently we have completed 148 missions for the We will be required to work at night, to go into establishments and to secure searches. Anything that involves searching for explosive weapons, for example. We are mobilized and we are securing the search.
You will see at the end of the video that with the equipment, we are going to conduct a real-life excavation How often are you allowed to go to the gym? So, as long as we are not called upon for the show and there is no professional exercise to perform, the agents are free to go to the gym. You can go there with as much gold as you want. What is laereinte? Meet in the operations room. Motion detection around flower regis, suspicious individuals spotted and quad bike peak mobilized. So what does this alarm mean?
That's when the mandatory duties are triggered. So, as you may have heard, we triggered all drones on the FL Studio register. So, we're going to have a briefing in the operations room and then we're going to the scene to carry out a verification. OK guys, so there has been a drone detection on the north side of Fleurogis. So we're going to go there with the questions to clear up any doubts. The signal is still constant at the moment. Let's get the weapons inspection done and then we'll go. How much time do you have to intervene here? As quickly as possible. Tibo, are you going to ride with me?
Yeah. For us, the response time is very important because we do n't know if the person will stay; they could stay for 5 minutes or a quarter of an hour. That's why we need to intervene as quickly as possible, actually. OK. Oh, so quads can go everywhere Yeah, yeah. These are quad bikes that are used by the GIGN unit in French Guiana. So, I think it should be fine in G3 forests. I imagine so. Hello Sir. What are you doing here? Well, I'm trying out my drone right now, I just bought it. You know there's a prison next door? Because, in fact, it's illegal, it's forbidden. Ah good? Really? Ah good? What are you transporting?
What are you filming with your drone? No, no, it's really for the scenery. I'm testing my drone. No, I just bought it. Okay, that's alright for this time. Please retrieve the drone and leave. Please hurry up. Thank you, sir. Does it often happen that people want to fly drones in this area? Uh, yes, yes, that happens often and we often have parcel deliveries by drone. Ah, what delivers by drone? They can deliver narcotics, weapons, and phones directly into the cell. Directly to the cells. Yeah. Whoa! OK.
It's a style that all the thorns in France are trying to fight. This is one of our new missions. How does one join the Hericis after high school graduation? First of all, you need to be a tenured prison officer, so at least 1 year of seniority, and then to be eligible for the competition, you have to submit a pre-selection application. If we are selected based on this application, we will undergo a week of testing and at the end an interview with a jury. If your application is approved, you will go for 3 months of training at ENAP to learn the basics of security. So, which exercise are we going to do now? So now we're going to simulate a judicial extraction. So we're going to simulate the handling of a detained person up to the point of their transfer.
So before each preliminary mission, there is always a briefing to explain the elements of the prisoner's profile, the course of the mission, from the starting point to the arrival. Why am I wearing a heavy vest this time? So from the moment we go outside for sensitive missions because the ERIS are only called upon for detainees with a very dangerous profile. So we have maximum ballistic protection equipment. Okay guys, so we're mobilized to carry out a judicial extinction. So the starting point will be the base and the arrival will be the Bondoufle courthouse. The person detained will be the person detained from the bridge. Okay, let's go.
Awine, are you alright? It's good and you? Very well, thank you very much. So now we're going to take a prisoner from the jail and bring him to court. We're going to do the exercise together, the simulation. You were explaining to me that initially you did a full search to be sure there were no objects. Quite. Yeah, for his safety and for ours too. So if he doesn't have it, he might have a sharp object with him and so on, and then we search him completely to make sure he doesn't actually have anything with him. Does it ever happen that a prisoner doesn't want to be fully searched? It happens. They explain to him that he has no choice. In general, we are quite persuasive. There is no need to go so far as to use force, but if necessary, we use the force that is
strictly necessary to do it. In reality, we, the person in question, will always be put up against a wall. He will extend the arms that are in front of him, and we will always remain a little bit protective. We don't know how he might react. So, we're going to handcuff him. Once the handcuffs are on, we'll put the belt on him. So. So you're going to pick up the first part and we'll take it from behind. OK. You do this exercise in pairs. Yeah. Exactly. And we lock all of that down All right. OK. And actually, well, okay. OK. Yes, it's V who actually throws the punch.
Exactly. Once that's done, we 'll install a small drive chain on it. All right. It allows for contact, but not physical contact, with the person being detained. I will go under his arm and that allows me to be further back and to accompany him but without having physical contact with him. You're the one who's going to take this small chain to the vehicle. All right. OK. OK. I'm going to tell my team leader that the handling is finished, that we're ready to move. So, at the start, I'm behind you. So for one of the outfits, there are three of you each time.
Yeah, there are three of us. Yeah. You're going to have right shoulder, left shoulder and you're going to have the chaféquipe. All right. If there's a door there, you go through it. If there is a door, I can go past it and it will be the same over there. I'm going to pass by there. Okay, if you're going to wait a little while, okay, I'll go ahead. You need to slow down a little because I'm going to come to a door, even if we previously bought the available item that has already passed, but I'm just making sure everything is clear. Here, we arrive at our setup. So, you're just going to pause for a little while. We're going to put the seatbelt on her, you're going to pull, you're going to give me the leash, I'm going to get it and I'm going to come and
hook it up. OK? Once that's done, your role is to sit behind him and hold it in your hand. I will communicate with the person in charge. I will tell them that during the trip, they should always look ahead in case of an accident, and you should curl up in a ball and we will take care of you. In fact, the unique feature of this vehicle is that it has a central seat, a little bit like that. Yeah. Exactly. There's the net in front, and so on. This is to avoid kicks to the driver, for example. That way, it actually allows you to drive safely if you want. We're the ones who manage the detainee behind the scenes. That's our job
. The driver's objective is to drive, to go from point 1 to point B, and the team leader's objective is to liaise with the available leader behind or the other vehicles and us. Overall, it goes rather well or rather badly during a. In general, it goes very well. We have good communication with the detainee. So, what can the prisoner do? What? Insulting you, in fact? Yes, it will be either that or physical inertia, physical resistance. But otherwise, once he is taken into care, generally afterwards, well, there are still two of us on him, or even three with the colleague behind, he is handcuffed. Yeah. Uh, there it is, the blue one is lit up, the flashing light
. Do you ever have to stop from now on? That's it. From now on, we won't stop until we arrive. So our objective is to focus more on scoring at the back. Even the red lights and everything, it's straight ahead Yes. Quite. Because in fact, here we are transporting the detained person. And our goal is to arrive at the destination without any problems. OK. So. So it's other colleagues who are in the vehicles. Yeah, absolutely. This is a 100% risky convoy, obviously everyone knows the route. If the vehicle breaks down or something, well, we're at a loss as to how to continue transporting the detained person safely. So then I received in the comments that it was
clear we could proceed with the landing. All right. So from that moment on, I took it off the hook. Come on, come towards me, turn your legs. Watch your head on the descent. OK. Okay, let's go. There, I have contact with the No, you have no contact. You just stay at the level of his rear shoulder like that and we're ready to react if needed. Who will take over in court? Then, generally, it's the internal security forces, so the police. Your mission ends here. Yeah, actually we're going to put the detainee in his cell, we're going to uncuff him, we're going to get out of the cell, close the cell and that's it.
Phoenix for this exercise. Yes, for the exercise. Thank you so much. Thank you to the prisoner. In France, there are 400 Iis agents spread across several regions. They carry out an average of 2800 missions per year and a large part of their intervention involves taking charge of detainees in public places. It's called an extraction. They make 1500 of them per year. That's the exercise we just did. The spike strips were created in 2003 following several incidents in prison. Today in 2026, there are far fewer collective movements in prison than in the 2000s. So the mission of the hermits has also evolved. The risk is that today, regarding the issue of escorting on public roads, in the presence of third parties, what are we going to do about it then?
So now we're going to give you a little training session. So you will be able to shoot with a handgun where we have put a sighting aid on it so that you can see some of the progress that has been made on weaponry and then we will also have you shoot with a weapon of the same caliber but as a shoulder weapon. Being at Zéris, you need to have those qualifications. Of course. So we have several weapons at our disposal. All right. Depending on the positions. So we are subject to authorizations, training and then authorization renewals every year. Have you ever used your weapon in a public place? Thankfully not, I didn't have to do it, but in any case we have a high training schedule which allows us to have
the best possible reflexes on the day we are scared. So here you're going to shoot with the Glock, you'll have the PC9 there, it's 9mm, same caliber as the handgun. OK. And our HK G36 is a short version. We'll start with the handgun. Next, I'll take you through PC9 and we'll finish with H. Perfect. So at the beginning, it will be some light practice shots and then if you are a little motivated, I know you are very athletic, we will make you sweat a little.
Okay, that's great. Gorgeous. Okay, great. Here, I'll let you get the gloc in your hand to get used to it again. So. Well, great, I see you haven't lost too much. I'm looking at your position. Well, it's not bad. I see you've retained some good skills from your special sessions. You're going to put a little bit of weight on that leg. Indeed, ballistic plates facing danger. Well, that seems pretty good to me. So, you're going to tilt your weapon in the other direction. I'm going to let you insert the charger into the charger and you're going to click it in as far as it will go without hitting it. Once that's done, you'll straighten your weapon. So. Here, there, you
will be able to lower the lever to release the cylinder head forward. What you're going to do is, you're going to insert a cartridge into your chamber OK? Go ahead. So. So there you have a target in front of you. OK. Your goal is to put all the impacts into silhouette. If you don't include all the impacts, then it will be burpi penalties. It works with the heavy vest. It's good, it's working. Go ahead, whenever you want. So, it starts right after that. Yeah, there. There, if you press the CL trigger, it fires. I'm testing the targets at the top.
Yeah, the one you want. At the limit. Whoa! That one's limited. Well, there you go. Oh well, it'll be 5 then. Yeah, that's not bad. OK, so I'm going to get the weapon now. So, as we can see from the result of your target, you made a very good shot. Well, that helps quite a bit, doesn't it? There you go, and we can see that you've already fired before. So now I suggest we switch to shoulder-fired weapons. OK, great. Yeah. OK. So this is the PC9. OK. It's 9mm, like the Glock before it. You're going to do the same as with the Glock. You're the one who's going to supply your weapon. So. Next, you see the little button there, well you're going to
push it forward. Hop. And there, in fact, you sent the cylinder head back to the han. That means you have a cartridge in the chamber. And there, your weapon, it 's ready to fire. You can lower the selector and you can fire. I'm ready. Well, whenever you want. Ah yes, that's even more precise. Yeah. I'm trying a target in the top left corner. Go ahead. Great. It's in the top right corner. Yeah. Well, perfect. Well, as you can see, there is n't much perspective on this one. It feels much more precise than the first one.
Ah yes, yes. We're moving on to Hong Kong. So this is the same caliber you used in the air force. Same principle with the fire selector, except that here you have more firing modes on C. OK. Aiming aid, grip, butt plate and so on. It's exactly the same. A bit more perspective with c, though. Of course. OK. And the explosion was a little louder. Okay, I'll let you insert the charger. So. With your left hand, you will retrieve the lever which is here. All right? You're going to pull it towards you as much as possible and then you're going to let go. So. It's good. I am in position. Well, whenever you want.
Yeah, the noise is much louder. Ah yes, it's not the same. OK, I'll try again. Go ahead. I'm trying the circle in the top left corner Come on. Ah, burpe. Oh no, darn it. I'll try the circle on the left again. Come on, aim a little bit higher. Ah, more burps. Go ahead, aim for the top of the circle. Yeah, at the top of the black circle. So. So, what I'm suggesting now is that we quickly set up a small course, and you'll do it with the PC9, and then you'll do some burpies before we leave anyway. That works.
Okay, I'll get that ready for you. OK Tibo. Well, on the previous CIP, you unfortunately missed three cartridges. That takes 5 berpes per cartridge on the outside. So, starting with 20, but you give me your 15 verpis. You will come and join me at that position behind the weapon. This will be the start of the exercise. Perfect. heavy vests. Great! Go very quickly, remember to ventilate well. I'll let you retrieve the weapon. OK Tibo. Two cartridges on the right. Two cartridges on the Go for it, super safe. OK, we're making progress. And there, four cartridges on the left. Four Great, perfect. Come on, let's make progress in the low shelter that's right in front of us. OK.
Two cartridges on the right and two cartridges on the left. Great. On Té. Two cartridges on the left. Okay, great. OK. On T. We move to the manufactured object on the right. Okay, quickly, two cartridges to the left, two cartridges to the right. You are very exposed in Voilà. Okay, great. Two cartridges on the right. OK. On T, we move to April. The last shelter that's there. And then, five shots to the right in quick succession. Super safe Té. OK. How are you, Tibo? Yeah, very good. With the heart rate going up and everything, it's nice, isn't it? Whoa Well, look, it's all in there.
Gorgeous. Everything is in there. Nickel. I was well coached. Thank you so much. Cool. Please. Tib. Awesome. We are now at the Paris La Santé prison. It was built in 1867. It was then closed for work, renovated and it was reopened in 2019. Here, there are 1300 inmates for 657 places. As you will have understood, prison overcrowding is clearly present. The prisoners here are all adult men. As I speak to you, it is 6:09 PM, we have an appointment for a cell search operation with the hedgehogs. We are in a real-life situation here. In real life, it's not a drill. We're going to follow them, move through the prison corridors, and see how they operate. They will move silently so as not to be spotted by the prisoners. The objective is to check and ensure that
no prohibited items have been brought into the cell. Mobile phones, narcotics, weapons, etc. The hedgehogs have just arrived. Here we go. Now, I'm going to put on a balaclava to prevent inmates from recognizing me in the prison and causing a crowd surge that could endanger everyone. Here we go. The opening of the doors went well. The prisoners were extremely cooperative. You can tell they're used to searches. There was no crab. So, let's get started with the second part of the excavation. The prisoners will be moved to another room while the cells are searched and
the dog is brought in. A hedgehog never enters the cell. He asks the prisoners to put their hands clearly visible and to move forward to the entrance. Next, they will put on the handcuffs. Next, there is a security pat-down and then he is taken down to another room. Now, the sinuo is about to arrive. It is the dogs that will sense whether there are narcotics present or not. Laasco, you have a colleague who is currently making the rounds of the cells before the dog comes in. So, the primary reason is to check if there is any object that could injure the dog. Knife, fork in the wrong place. Hot slap. And you, basically, are a prison survivor, right? Quite. So I joined the prison service in 2011 and I joined the canine unit in Paris in 2016.
It's a Belgian Malinois, right? Yes, she is a 3-year-old female Malinois She is beautiful. What area is this dog a specialist in? She specializes in the search for explosive materials. It can happen that explosive materials are found in cells. Quite. That's why we were created in 2006. With us, we have three specialties in the penitentiary system. So we have the search for explosive material, we have the search for weapons and ammunition and narcotics, each dog has its specialty.
I want to work. Yes. Al taci, that's going very well. That's a good rip-off. You're looking for something impressive. Go ahead and look for it She's sniffing everywhere. You can tell it's a game for her. That's good. He's still up there. Very good, the super. Come see the other one. Are you looking for the other one? OK. Okay, let's pump the OK. That's great. That's a good rip-off. Excellent. That one. Now, what risks do prisoners face if things like phones and accessories are found in their cells? a disciplinary procedure which has a sanction from the institution and a report to the judicial authority because an
illegally brought-in mobile phone can be punished with a maximum sentence of 5 years imprisonment which will be added to the sentence served by the detainee. If drugs are found in a cell, the prosecutor is notified. This is a criminal offence. So, did we find anything there? So on this search, nothing to do with my specialty, in any case, no explosives there. That's it. So, a small reward for the dog. That's it. So we gave the dog a small reward which he found. His remuneration, that's the game, that's the boudoir. So there, she played well and she caught both boudings. There you go, she's totally into it, she loves to play. A very energetic little girl of 3 years old. But in her mind, she was a month old and she was really such a muscular baby. Whoa! That's
definitely my daughter. It's very, very good. Wow, she's strong. Do you spend your days with your dog? Every day, it's training and relaxation for the dog because, well, he needs to get his brain working a little bit. These dogs are extremely playful and it's a real pleasure to work with her every day. Do you want to say something or not? She 's busy, let's let her have her fun. Hi Mad, how are you? How are you, Tibo? How's it going? I'm fine, thank you. Mad, you're under surveillance in prison. Now that the dogs have been through, what's going to happen next? So now we're going to proceed with the
cell search. We will equip ourselves with lamps for safety and hygiene reasons, of course. So we'll start with the clothes. So you're only looking at the pockets. Exactly. We perform palpation. Since we are used to doing excavations, we already have a bit of a feeling of touching things. Yeah, the inmates are used to his searches. Yes. So either it's planned, or it's at the initiative of the surveillance since there could have been a suspicion.
What is the most common type of thing we can find? They are narcotics. So yes, the drug, obviously in a slightly less frequent way, we're going to have to use the phone to find the knives in a more artisanal way. So there are knives. Yeah. Yeah. OK. It can also be repurposed objects. We're going to find a mounted knife, or rather a mounted toothbrush with a razor blade on it. How long does it take to search a cell? It ranges from 10-15 minutes to 20-30 minutes when you're really looking for something, and it takes time because there are things to see. Then, you also have to be imaginative, right? They're " Yeahs".
These are human beings who sometimes remain shut up for entire days without going for a walk, without doing any activities. So it encourages creativity. Perhaps some hiding places. Exact. Even in books, it can be hidden everywhere. Yeah, unfortunately books can sometimes be misused to store phones, to store anything that is prohibited, nothing more and nothing less. So this is a basic salt hiding place. Yeah. Yeah. We'll open it up on the side like this and we 'll check the bottom like this. Generally, it's a kind of hiding place, more for chargers, phone cables.
OK. What's the most striking hiding place you've seen? I would say maybe in the fridges. In the fridges? Yeah, it was very, very well done. If we were to have to replace the rims. Ah yeah, yeah, with toothpaste. So once it's dry, it looks like silicone rims. Given that we had the dogs come through, we're going to remove all the blankets and armrests because the dog inevitably walked on the beds and everything. Exactly. OK. We just make sure that the mattress is not stretched because sometimes it cuts through it and it slips into the foam. a match tonight and I think there was a goal. So, the fridge. Yeah. What seal are you paying attention to? You were saying
in this instance that it's relatively healthy. The lower part doesn't come off because you can unclip that too. So you can create a small hiding place. Then, well, those were the people I was talking about. So that's it. Ah yes, those seals, you know, those seals. So here we can see that when we run our finger over it, it doesn't crumble. These are real seals. It's a real joint. That's clear. Now we go to the toilet. I imagine it's not a very pleasant game. Yeah, indeed, not all the time. But we don't necessarily get our hands on it systematically.
Yeah. So, the fact that the toilet was flushed started the water flowing, and if there was anything that could have gotten stuck and thus obstructed the flow of water, we would have noticed. So, we can suspect that there is something involved in the setback. So. Afterwards, we've already seen fishing line caught in the pipe, we pull it up. But anyway, after that it's the same, it's if you're used to it, you see it, you know it. We're going to do something that is rarely pleasant but we're used to doing it: we're going to take out the trash. We won't let him. That's nice. That's it.
You check the bin and take the opportunity to take it out. Exactly. A small token of appreciation. So. Very basic but appreciated. Awesome. So, nothing to report regarding the cell. A very successful operation with the hedgehogs. Nothing to report. Now, if you want to see my immersion in the women's prison in Rennes, click on the video which is right here. It is the largest women's prison in Europe. We set out to meet the prisoners and prison officers. Take care of yourself. Love and protection.
