France is set to build a £337million American-style 'super-max'
prison in the heart of the Amazon rainforest that will house
drug lords and Islamist terrorists.
The massive 40,700 square meter complex will be build in Saint
Laurent du Maroni, in the jungles of French Guiana, said
hardline justice minister Gérald Darmanin on Sunday, who
visited the region to make the announcement, amid growing
fervour against the so-called 'Mexicanization' of France at
the hands of violent drugs gangs.
Darmanin told a local outlet that no quarter would be given
to those imprisoned at the jail.
'The prison regime will be extremely strict, with one aim:
to put the most dangerous narcotraffickers in a place where
they can do no harm', he said.
The USA alas has few tropical possessions that do
not have beach condos all over them. So, suggest
the Aleutian islands instead - that oughtta cool
off the gangstas :-)

I do not know if France has the equivalent to the Eighth Amendment, but
the USA does. Cruel and unusual punishment is illegal. We can put a
federal prison at Pt Barrow, but the prisonners have to provide with
heating, appropriate clothing, medical care, aught else.

Some time back I read Frank Abagnale's "Catch Me
If You Can". He was caught in France and jailed. I
recall that he described his cell (I think he said
he was thrown in naked) as being bare and slime
covered. The book came out in 1980 so that was
conditions then. No idea what they're like now, but
it sorta seems like that hade Devil's Island right
there!
