French President Jacques Chirac wants convicted terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui to do his jail time in France. I’m not so sure this is a favor to Moussaoui. My only experience with French jails is via the movies “Papillon” and “Catch Me If You Can“. Neither paints a pretty picture of the French penal system (Huh, he said penal!). Admittedly, these movies were set a few decades in the past, but, from all accounts, things haven’t gotten much better.
