Overview

• Around 12:30 a.m. Thursday, three of four corridors in Building No. 2 were flooded after prisoners intentionally inundated their cells, according to the UFAP union.
• Guards had to squeegee water from floors, the union said, labeling the actions “rebellion” and urging firm disciplinary sanctions and preventive measures.
• The prison administration had no immediate comment when contacted by reporters.
• The QLCO unit houses about 88 detainees transferred since late July under a regime meant to curb organized-crime influence, and the union called this the most notable incident since it opened.
• Several dozen prisoners are contesting their transfers and conditions in court without success so far, and five additional inmates are expected from overseas in September to bring the total to 93, according to Le Parisien.
