Justizvollzugsanstalt Herford
Justizvollzugsanstalt Herford, Youth detention center in Herford, Germany
Justizvollzugsanstalt Herford is a youth detention facility in Herford located between Werrestrasse and Eimterstrasse in the Neustädter Feldmark district. The institution provides 355 detention spaces and offers 157 vocational training positions in fields such as woodworking, baking, and electronics.
The facility opened as a Prussian prison in 1883 after three years of construction were completed. In 1939 it was transformed into a youth detention center, where it has served the justice system for young people since then.
The facility produces a newspaper called 'Popshop' through collaboration with a nearby high school, giving residents a way to develop writing and communication skills. This publication reflects daily life and creates a connection between the institution and the local community.
The location sits between two streets in the Neustädter Feldmark district, making it relatively easy to find within the city. Keep in mind that this is an active correctional facility, so access may be restricted and advance arrangements are typically necessary.
Actor Edgar Selge began his stage career at this facility during the 1950s and 1960s when his father worked as the director. This unusual connection shows how the center had cultural significance beyond its primary function.
