Really? I'll be interested in sources then, because I've just never heard of such things in France. From what I know even well known public figures that has been sentenced about innapropriate expressions just had been fined (Le pen) or had their show cancelled in some cities (Dieudonné)

  Thank you very much. The english version of wikipedia state that Roger Garaudy and Jean Plantin has been jailed whereas the french version of their wikipedia pages state they hasn't been. So it would be good to have reliable sources. BUT you actually pointed me to a guy that has been an exception to both of my statements. Vincent Reynouard has been jailed for revisionism after having published a book and a video tape about the massacre of small village in south of France during War World 2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oradour-sur-Glane https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oradour-sur-Glane And even before that he lost his job as a teacher because he had some revisionist document on its work computer http://www.liberation.fr/france/1997/04/23/le-prof-revisionniste-de-honfleur-revoque_201922 http://www.liberation.fr/france/1997/04/23/le-prof-revisionn... So he is really the exception which proves the rule.

  All right, random people has been arrested and taken in custody during 48 hours after the Charlie things. I was actually meaning people jailed for months and lost their jobs and suffer all the dramatic effects of prison.
