## Resource

French lawmaker Clémentine Autain visited a sweltering Parisian prison where record-breaking heat and severe overcrowding are turning daily life into a crisis—over 1300 inmates crammed into a facility built for 700, forcing some to sleep on mattresses on the floor. Amid stifling heat, moldy showers, and makeshift mosquito nets, one young inmate collapsed, sparking urgent warnings from the UN that conditions may violate human rights. With France’s prison population at a record high and inmates trapped in a cycle of neglect and slow justice, the situation underscores a systemic breakdown under extreme weather.
