The Goldlauter correctional facility is a correctional facility in the Goldlauter district of Suhl in Thuringia.

history

Today's JVA Goldlauter was originally designed as a pre- trial detention facility for the State Security - before the fall of the Wall in the GDR . The official start of construction was on December 10, 1986, before the completion of the expropriations of property owners ordered as part of the construction planning . Even after the institution was handed over on January 1, 1990, construction work was continued by the former district headquarters of the German People's Police in Suhl. The preliminary completion of the work was in December 1990.

During the months of change in 1989/1990, the institution could be visited by Suhl citizens who were shocked by the facility. The interrogation rooms and individual cells provided by the State Security were dismantled before their final use. The first prisoners entered the facility on January 29, 1991.

On Good Friday , March 29, 2013, a 52-year-old inmate armed with a knife took control of a 26-year-old correctional officer. The hostage-taker , convicted of violent crimes, demanded legal counsel and the transfer to another institution. In the early morning hours of Holy Saturday, the police overwhelmed the hostage-taker, who, like the hostage, was unharmed.

As the Thuringian Ministry of Justice announced on January 29, 2016, an employee of the penal institution was released from duty because she had entered into a relationship with a member of a street gang.

Todays use

The Goldlauter JVA has a total of 282 detention places, of which 262 are closed and 20 are open . The Goldlauter JVA mainly accommodates male prisoners with short sentences as first-time servants, as well as male prisoners on remand for the district court districts of Erfurt and Meiningen. There are 148 employees.

Originally the Thuringia prison school was housed in the complex, but it was closed on December 31, 2004 and transferred to the prison training facility at the Gotha Education Center .

The prison was also used as a Thuringian penal institution for deportation detainees.

As of June 27, 2005, ten people were in custody in Thuringia .
