Minister condemns ‘shocking’ games inspired by reality TV show at Fresnes prison, south of Paris
France’s justice ministry is under pressure to explain why it signed off on games inspired by reality TV at the country’s second largest prison.
The political row erupted after a 25-minute video of prisoners at Fresnes jail taking part in go-karting and other challenges in the prison courtyard appeared on YouTube. The prison games were called Kohlantess – a play on Les aventuriers de Koh-Lanta, a French reality TV show based on the Survivor format.
