Justizvollzugsanstalt Wiesbaden

The Wiesbaden Prison covers 80,000 square meters with five detention buildings, sports facilities, workshops, a school building, and administrative offices.

Built between 1959 and 1963, this facility marked the first new youth detention center construction in post-war Federal Republic of Germany.

The prison manages a population from 40 different nationalities, with non-German inmates representing between 60 and 70 percent of the total.

The facility accommodates 280 inmates aged 20 to 24 and offers professional training programs in trades such as baking, electrical work, and carpentry.

The prison operates through a progressive system where inmates transition from strict confinement to more relaxed forms of detention over time.
