Justizvollzugsanstalt Gießen, Correctional facility in Giessen, Germany
Justizvollzugsanstalt Gießen is a correctional facility in Gießen with three separate departments. These areas handle closed custody, open custody for adults, and open custody for juveniles.
The facility was originally a branch of JVA Butzbach before becoming an independent institution in 1995. This change made it a standalone part of the Hessen correctional system.
The institution reflects German approaches to rehabilitation, where incarcerated people participate in work programs and develop their skills. This approach shapes daily life and shows how reintegration is put into practice.
Visits are possible Monday through Thursday from 8:30 to 12:00 and 13:30 to 15:30, on Friday by appointment only. It is advisable to contact ahead to confirm that a visit can be arranged at that time.
The Wolfgang-Mittermaier-Haus provides about 70 spaces for open custody and is an important part of the facility's capacity. This section shows how modern correctional concepts are put into practice.
