Political prisoners in France enjoy unusual liberties
In Paris the Ste. Pelagie prison houses political prisoners with a Pavillon des Princes wing. Lafargue and others receive visiting rights, own furniture from home, diverse foods, study materials, and even yard strolls with two guards in civilian clothes. Prisoners can be visited daily by family, and nonpolitical prisoners assist in chores, all while Lafargue sought variety through boulevard excursions.
