By signing, on December 17, a platform in The world calling for the three prisoners who murdered the prefect Claude Erignac, a group of fourteen deputies, to be brought together in Corsica [cinq présidents de groupe de l’Assemblée (Gauche démocrate et républicaine, Union des démocrates et indépendants, Libertés et territoires, La France insoumise, Parti socialiste), associés à sept députés et à deux sénateurs] wanted to push the prison walls. In order to meet these three men, sentenced to life imprisonment – without a security sentence – they went on Thursday January 20 to the Poissy central (Yvelines), where Pierre Alessandri, 63, and Alain Ferrandi, are imprisoned. 62 years old, and the next day at the central house of Arles (Bouches-du-Rhône), where Yvan Colonna, 61 years old, is detained.
These parliamentarians are campaigning “in the name of respect for the law” for the reconciliation which is refused to the three men by the prison administration, because of their registration in the register of particularly reported prisoners (DPS), which has some 300 names on the national level. These three letters currently block the way to the Borgo detention center (Haute-Corse), the only one authorized on the island to receive them. The decision to maintain or lift this status is in the hands of the Prime Minister, who must decide in February.
The delegation which went to Poissy, led by the three Corsican nationalist deputies and senator, presented itself as “Partisan”, according to deputy Jean-Félix Acquaviva (Freedoms and territories). At the end of a two-hour interview in the prison gymnasium, the majority deputy Bruno Questel drove the point home and pleaded for a return to Corsica of “those men who do not present a danger to the prison where they are”. The parliamentarian, member of La République en Marche (LRM), also rapporteur for a commission on chaplaincy in detention, had visited Borgo prison the previous week to check that a unit could accommodate prisoners particularly reported on condition that the ad hoc work is carried out.
“State revenge”
“MM. Ferrandi and Alessandri, detained since 1999, have had time to measure the act they committed and the suffering they also inflicted on their families,” continued the LRM deputy, who wants to make his political family bend, lukewarm on the subject, the latter fearing that the right and the far right will interpret this transfer during the presidential campaign as a political weakness.
