“Doctor-in-Chief at La Santé prison”
Doctor-in-Chief at the Santé Prison, was something Véronique Vasseur was never trained to be. She agrees one day to stand in temporarily for a colleague. Her first days at the prison come as quite a shock…
Little by little, fear gives way to revolt. Because she cannot stand injustice, she takes on a combat and gives it her all, to the point of no return, losing her husband and almost her life in the process. An experience from which she emerges deeply scathed but wiser beyond measure.
