"As of this moment, you are the property of the Penial Administration of French Guiana. After serving your full terms in prison, those with sentences of eight years or more, will remain in Guiana as workers and colonists, for a period equal to that of your original sentences. As for France, the nation has disposed of you. France has rid herself of you altogether! Forget France... and put your clothes on."
