In an interview with TV and radio Valls revealed there were now 15,000 terror suspects on the radar of the country's police and intelligence services. “We know that over the next 10 years it will be necessary, without a doubt, to create 10,000 places in prison, Valls said. The problem France faces is that clearly 10,000 will not be enough given the already bulging prison population and the apparent threat of some 15,000 extremists. Valls wants the new prison places to cater for the Islamist threat which means individual cells and dedicated isolated wings.
