Justizvollzugsanstalt Frankfurt am Main I

Justizvollzugsanstalt Frankfurt am Main I is a modern prison facility in the Preungesheim district with seven multi-story buildings enclosed by high concrete walls. The complex features functional architecture designed to serve different operations within the facility.

The facility was built between 2007 and 2010, replacing a former prison that previously stood at this location. It was developed as part of a modernization effort for criminal justice infrastructure in Frankfurt.

The facility maintains a network of volunteer workers who engage with inmates through conversations and lead small recreational group activities.

The site serves as a main coordination point for prisoner movements between different facilities across the region. Visitors should be aware that the facility is strictly secured and accessible only to authorized personnel.

The prison serves as a major hub for coordinating prisoner transfers throughout the entire state of Hesse. This central function means that daily organized movements of detainees between different prisons pass through this facility.
