Having visited numerous prisons in France and around Europe, this trained lawyer advocates open prisons such as the one at Casabianda in Corsica, a prison ‘without bars’ in which some 200 inmates spend a large part of the day doing agricultural work, virtually unguarded.

The chat will be open from 6 p.m. so you can start asking your questions early.

Everyone’s welcome – and so are all your questions.
