Justizvollzugsanstalt Ottweiler, Correctional facility in Ottweiler, Germany

The Justizvollzugsanstalt Ottweiler is a prison complex with multiple buildings for different functions, including detention blocks, administration, a school, sports facilities, and a kitchen spread across a large property. The facility is designed to accommodate both young offenders and adult males.

The facility was founded in 1970 and initially served only young offenders. A new building complex was added in 1989 to accommodate adult male inmates.

The facility runs educational programs where young detainees can complete their schooling and learn practical skills in different workshops. These work areas shape the daily rhythm and give inmates hands-on experience.

The facility is not open to the public and cannot be visited. Information about the institution can be obtained through the administration if there is a legitimate reason for the request.

The prison operates a shop called Knast-Lädchen where handcrafted wooden items and other goods made by young inmates are sold. Revenue from these sales goes directly back into rehabilitation programs.
