Coming to visit him at the Seysses remand center, a mother found herself in the box for defendants of the Toulouse Criminal Court with her son. In the middle of the week, an incarcerated man was found in possession of a hundred grams of herbal cannabis, leaving a living room with his mother. When questioned, the latter explained that a man had given her the drugs in the parking lot. They were tried by the Toulouse Criminal Court, in immediate comparison.

“A man contacted me to bring in some drugs. He threatened to take it out on my son if I didn’t. I was afraid for him, ”explains this mother of ten children. “Why didn’t you alert the prison services?” You are making your case worse, sir, ”asks the president. “You know, in Seysses if you don’t do what you’re told, you don’t go out for a walk, you no longer have a life. I already have enough problems like this. I don’t want to come out with scars, ”explains the 21-year-old son.

“It’s too simple to tell us that they had no choice. Monsieur is perfectly seasoned with the codes of detention. He knows the first thing he has chosen to do is alert the supervisors. It is he who involves his mother! “, Argues the public prosecutor. It requires four months of imprisonment to respect them, without continued detention for the mother.

For Me Nathalie Dupont-Ricard, “this is a desperate mother who tried to make the conditions of her son’s detention less complicated than they already are. “” One of his fellow inmates refused, he ended up with eight stitches! », Underlines Me Maylis Vincent. The court sentences the son to four months’ imprisonment. The mother finally gets away with a fifty day fine at ten euros.
