Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy describes his time behind bars in a book released Wednesday. In "Diary of a Prisoner," he recounts his time in prison after being found guilty of criminal association in a Libya financing case. He was sentenced to five years but released after 20 days pending appeal. Sarkozy describes the prison as a "noisy, harsh 'all-grey' world" and his cell like a "cheap hotel" room. He also offers political advice, suggesting his conservative party should appeal to far-right voters. Sarkozy's comments have sparked debate, especially regarding his stance on alliances with the far right.
