On 19 February 1944, 1200 well organized political prisoners rose in mutiny and toke over the prison, holding the warden and 70 warders and other personnel as hostages. During 13 hours they resisted the alerted Vichy troops, but they had to surrender on the word of the warden that not no reprisals would be taken. Nevertheless, on order of the infamous collaborator Darnand, 12 mutineers were ten days later executed in the prison, and on 30 May 1944 1121 prisoners were handed over to the SS-Division Das Reich and deported to the KZ Dachau, where 210 perished.
