Michel Ucciani, a former nationalist militant who fell into organized crime, gives an exclusive testimony. This former member of one of the most active commandos of the FLNC returns on his years spent behind bars. Between 1978 and 2018, he spent twenty years in different establishments: the prison of La Santé, Fresnes, Borgo, Ajaccio, but also the Baumettes, Aix-Luynes, Draguignan, Strasbourg, Nantes ... Overcrowding, exacerbation of community tensions, violence experienced on a daily basis, but also all the little tricks between “natios” or members of the big Corsican banditry, racketeering of prison staff and management of “outside” affairs, he has experienced it all. He tells without pretence and without taboos the incredible reality of life in French prisons and the evolution of prison conditions...
