Désormais donc, les prévenus seront, au moment de leur arrestation, conduits directement à la Roquette, où, séparés les uns des autres, comme le sont les enfants jugés, ils n’auront pas à souffrir du contact de leurs co-détenus.

1844 July 14, Alphonse Bérenger, Société pour le patronage des jeunes détenus et des jeunes libérés du département de la Seine: assemblée générale tenue à l'Hotel de Ville, le 14 juillet 1844 [Society for the Patronage of Imprisoned Juveniles and Released Juveniles of the Department of Seine: General Assembly Held in the Hotel de Ville, on 14 July 1844], Paris: Imprimerie de A.

From now on, therefore, the defendants shall, at the time of their arrest, be taken directly to La Roquette, where, separated from one another, as are the children on trial, they will not have to suffer from contact with their fellow prisoners.

En justice courante et cavalante, si tous les prévenus l’étaient à temps, le banc des accusés serait souvent vide.

1972 February 5, Pierre Dac, Les Pensées [Thoughts], Éditions Saint-Germain-des-Prés:

In current and rushing justice, if all the defendants were in time, the bench of the accused would often be empty.

Le verdict sera annoncé à une date ultérieure, a indiqué le tribunal sur son site web, mais l’issue de la procédure ne soulève guère de doute : 99 % des prévenus qui comparaissent en Chine sont reconnus coupables.
