About
La Santé Prison is a historic French prison operated by the French Prison Service of the Ministry of Justice, located at 42 Rue de la Santé in the east of the Montparnasse district of the 14th arrondissement in southern Paris, France. Opened in 1867 after construction from 1861-1867, it is one of the most famous prisons in France, featuring both VIP and maximum security sections. It served as the site of guillotine executions until 1972 and has been notorious for overcrowding, poor conditions, riots, and high-profile suicides, including that of Jean-Luc Brunel on February 19, 2022, while he was held there.
