Answer

Almost four years were spent behind bars after his arrest in December 1882 at the height of France's anti-anarchist repression. Charged with belonging to the International anarchist association, he endured solitary confinement and poor health throughout his imprisonment before finally being released in 1886 and expelled from France.
