The video's description highlights the shocking nature of the images, using hashtags like #choque (shock), #scandal, and #prisontiktok. The video has accumulated millions of views and thousands of comments, many expressing disbelief and anger at the apparent disparity between the conditions shown and the general perception of prison life. One commenter stated, "Il vaut mieux être en taule qu'être étudiant en France en 2025, cherchez l'erreur" (It's better to be in jail than a student in France in 2025, find the mistake), highlighting the frustrations of some French students. The video raises questions about prison conditions and the resources allocated to inmates, prompting a wider discussion about prison reform and social inequalities.
