Justizvollzugsanstalt Herford, Youth detention center in Herford, Germany
The correctional facility contains 355 detention spaces and occupies a central position between Werrestrasse and Eimterstrasse in Herford's Neustädter Feldmark district.
The facility opened as a Prussian prison in 1883 following three years of construction, and transformed into a youth detention center in 1939.
The detention center produces a newspaper called 'Popshop' through collaboration with a local high school, enabling inmates to develop writing and communication skills.
The institution offers 157 vocational training positions where detainees can learn professions such as woodworking, baking, and electronics through certified programs.
Actor Edgar Selge started his theatrical career at this facility during the 1950s and 1960s when his father served as the institution's director.
