Justizanstalt Innsbruck, Correctional facility in Innsbruck, Austria.
Justizanstalt Innsbruck is a correctional facility located in Innsbruck on Völser Straße 63. The three-story concrete building houses detention areas for both male and female prisoners in separate wings.
Construction began in 1960 on the site of a former brick factory and the main building opened in 1967. A women's section was added in 1972 to expand capacity.
The facility implements rehabilitation programs and vocational training opportunities to prepare inmates for their return to Austrian society after completing their sentences.
Visitors should obtain information about visiting hours in advance since access is limited and requires prior arrangement. Contact details for scheduling should be verified before planning a visit.
The facility has operated its own fire brigade since 2018, distinguishing it from most other Austrian prisons. This internal emergency response team provides rapid fire protection and emergency services on site.
