Aujourd'hui, on a 85000 détenus pour 65000 places de prison.

L'ordre de grandeur (forte surpopulation carcérale) est exact, mais les chiffres sont arrondis à la hausse. Au 1er juillet 2025, la France comptait environ 83 600 personnes détenues, et au 1er mars 2025 on dénombrait 82 152 détenus pour 62 539 places opérationnelles (taux d'occupation de 131,7%). Le nombre de places (~62 500) est donc surestimé à 65 000.

Method note. Verdicts are anchored to the data of the sources cited next to each check, never a judgement on people. When the evidence is not enough, the result is “Unverifiable”; no claim is marked as unconfirmed without a primary source cited. The summary of the fact-checking method is public, and re-examined results go into the corrections log. How we work →
