September 4, 1959 - Jacques Fruminet
His case illustrates a recurring failure of containment: each release was followed, within months, by further violence against women, culminating in two more killings after his 1998 parole. The pattern spanning nearly two decades — assault, imprisonment, release, escalation — made him a reference point in French debates over recidivism and penal policy. He died in prison while serving a life sentence.
