Why when a high profile politic is sentenced it goes to a 5 star suite while the rest of mortals are thrown to a hole?

It seems that when you cross a certain invisible threshold "justice" applies just a bit differently. Same in Argentina with corrupt and ex-robber Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.

Does he have better conditions than any other French persons convicted of a similar crime?

The cell is the same but he is alone in it, most convicts have a cellmate

Not the ones in solitary confinement like him I assume?

His SHU cell has everything the rest of the cells have ; a TV for €14/month, a hot plate, a landline, a shower, a fridge, and on a fixed schedule access to the library and the gym
