Clairvaux Prison is a high-security prison in France, on the site of the former Clairvaux Abbey.
1971 revolt
In 1971, convicts Claude Buffet and Roger Bontems took hostage, then murdered a nurse and a prison guard. They were captured. Bontems, whose defense counsels included Robert Badinter, contended that the murder was Buffet's idea, while Buffet affirmed that he now desired death. Both were sentenced to death by the assize court in June 1972 and were guillotined.
