"His latest escape, from Reau Prison, took only "a few minutes," France's Justice Ministry said. Unarmed guards said they could do nothing to prevent it." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/redoine-faid-helicopter-carrying-commandos-frees-notorious-french-inmate-2018-07-01/

Unarmed? Are there no armed guards in French prisons?

I was wondering the same thing. Escapes like this should be more common if there is no armed guards.

I can't see any real purpose in this thing- I think almost every benefit they claim it has could be accomplished by having a tracking device somewhere else in your car. Putting it on your fender- where one bump from someone trying to parallel park behind you can cost you $700- seems like a dumb idea.

It’ll be quite easy to spot him. He’ll be the one who agrees to sit next to the women.

I found this to be by far the most interesting paragraph

Quote

One would think that some of of the primary barriers to such “interfaith” marriages would be kashruth and the laws of family purity, which stipulate that couples refrain from relations two weeks out of the month, only resuming sexual activity after the wife immerses herself in the mikvah. However, it appears that many of the couples are more concerned with Shabbat restrictions, given the social nature of the day in secular Israeli society, and with questions of how to educate their children.
