French Judge Orders End to Solitary Confinement for Notorious Criminal Rédoine Faïd

A judge ruled that the conditions of Faïd's imprisonment violate human dignity, prompting an appeal from the prosecutor's office.

Rédoine Faïd, a repeat offender, has been held in solitary confinement for at least 11 years.
The judge's decision mandates the prison administration to end these conditions within 30 days.
Faïd's detention conditions, including non-contact visits and lack of family unit access, were deemed inhumane.
The prosecutor's office in Béthune has appealed the judge's decision to lift Faïd's isolation.
Faïd is serving a sentence extended to 2060 following a recent 14-year conviction for a 2018 helicopter prison escape.
