Ethics lessons up close: Students experience life behind bars!

Ravensburg, Deutschland - An extraordinary excursion led the ethics course in class 13 of the Ludwig Erhard School in Sigmaringen to the Ravensburg correctional facility. On December 22, 2024, the pupils experienced up close what life behind bars looks like. Accompanied by their teachers, Tanja Braun and Thomas Harjung, they went through strict security controls and received a comprehensive introduction to the nine hectare institution. In addition to the explanation of the highly regulated everyday life of the over 400 inmates-from the 14-year-old youngest to the 84-year-old oldest-the job opportunities within the prison walls were also presented. The young people learned that prisoners can work in areas such as a car workshop or carpenter.

The idea of ​​a drug detection dog that demonstrated his skills in a demonstration was particularly impressive. The dog discovered drugs in a prepared bag with a student and showed this with a special technique, the "freezing". This practice should not only serve security, but also has a preventive character, since the presence of detection dogs can deter potential drug dealers. Such experiences can help the participants to develop a better understanding of the correctional facilities and encourage them to think, report the Schwäbische .
