Justizanstalt Eisenstadt

Justizanstalt Eisenstadt is a correctional facility in the capital of Burgenland. The building contains multiple sections with single and double cells, including a separate wing dedicated to female inmates.

The facility opened in 1968 as Austria's first newly constructed prison after World War II. Major renovations completed in 2016 modernized the buildings and expanded its capabilities.

The prison maintains structured communication channels between inmates and the outside world through monitored visits and scheduled evening chat sessions.

Access to this facility is restricted and requires advance arrangement with authorities. Those interested in visiting should contact the administration directly to learn about availability and requirements.

This is the only prison in the entire state of Burgenland and holds both inmates awaiting trial and those serving sentences. It primarily processes cases with shorter sentences, shaping its role in Austria's justice system.
