New construction of the Nuremberg correctional facility: Modernization in the millions

Why the Nuremberg prison is rebuilt for 57 million euros

The Nuremberg prison, which houses up to 1000 prisoners behind his walls, is currently in an extensive renovation project worth 57 million euros. But why is so much invested in the new building?

The importance of modern prison

The prison in Mannerstrasse has a long history that goes back to 1865. Almost 160 years later, a modernization is carried out, which includes access, the security center, the goalkeeper and the vehicle lock. These measures should bring the JVA up to date and thus ensure a modern prison.

The new building not only serves the security of the staff, but also to re -socialize the prisoners. Bavaria's Minister of Construction emphasized the importance of contemporary jobs and a visitor area that contributes to the reintegration of the prisoners.

accept challenges of the time

The correctional facility in Nuremberg is one of the largest in Bavaria and houses a good 1,000 detention places. In view of new challenges, prisons must also adapt. The increasing proportion of foreigners of around 45 percent means additional difficulties that are to be countered by sufficiently trained staff.

Overall, the renovation of the Nuremberg prison not only shows an investment in security and modernization, but also into the future of prison.
