The prison Glasmoor is a Hamburg prison in the neighboring Schleswig-Holstein town of Norderstedt , district Glashütte , Kreis Segeberg .
history
In 1917 Hamburg bought Glasmoor to meet Hamburg's fuel needs. In 1922 a correctional facility was opened that used inmates to remove peat . For this purpose, a peat track with a track width of 610 mm was built. The prison administration also ran a farm. In 1965 peat mining was stopped.
Hamburg's chief construction director Fritz Schumacher provided the design for the prison complex, which was completed in 1928 . Originally this prison was built without walls and barbed wire and was intended to serve as a model for rehabilitation . This is also evidenced by the motto that stands above the entrance door of the central prison building:
"Improve the earth through man and you reform man through the earth."
During the Nazi era , from 1941 young Norwegians were imprisoned who had been convicted of acts of resistance in their homeland by Wehrmacht courts. From 1943 onwards, some Norwegian and Danes of legal age also served their sentences there.
The listed central complex is characterized by a 22 meter high tower.
Legal status
The detention center is located on Schleswig-Holstein territory. Hamburg is only the owner of the site under civil law, so that the state law of Schleswig-Holstein generally applies on the site. Notwithstanding this, Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein agreed in an administrative agreement dated December 11, 2009 that the Hamburg regulations on the penal system and the Hamburg Passive Smoking Protection Act are to be applied on the premises of the prison. The agreement entered into force on February 1, 2011.
Already with Art. 3 of the Schleswig-Holstein Act of Approval on the Agreement on the Extended Responsibility of the State Officials charged with the tasks of the penal system of June 6, 1991, Schleswig-Holstein had unilaterally authorized the Hamburg penitentiary staff , in connection with the maintenance of the Hamburg penal institution Glasmoor required official acts in the territory of the State of Schleswig-Holstein - also beyond the agreement.
Types of enforcement
The JVA Glasmoor is an open prison under the Hamburg Prison Act (HmbStVollzG). The prisoner must be particularly suitable for this form of execution. (See also open execution .) The following types of detention can be found here: imprisonment , substitute imprisonment and arrest , the latter being almost never executed; there is only one legal possibility for this.
From 1994 to 2003 there was a deportation detention center on the prison grounds , which consisted of containers and was intended for 82 deportation detainees.
In 2005 the new women's shelter in the JVA Glasmoor was opened. In addition to the 46 detention spaces, there are two interconnected cells that are available to incarcerated mothers for their small children.
museum
The Hamburg prison museum is also located in the JVA Glasmoor . A collection of exhibits from history gives an impression of all areas of execution. The museum is open to everyone after prior registration.
Future of the prison
In June 2009 the Justice Senator of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg , Till Steffen ( GAL ), announced that the JVA Glasmoor should be closed. He gave the high vacancy rate within the detention centers as the reason for the closure. This is due to a steady decline in criminal offenses. However, replacements will not be created in the Hamburg JVA Billwerder , as initially planned , but in the JVA Fuhlsbüttel . There, the still existing house 1 will be partially demolished and a new building will be added.
After the change of government due to the 2011 general election , the new Justice Senator Jana Schiedek (SPD) announced in October 2011 that this plan should no longer be pursued. The open execution should continue to be housed in Glasmoor. Instead, the women's prison should be relocated from Hahnöfersand to Billwerder. In August 2012, Schiedek announced that a new prison house with 108 prison places was to be built in Glasmoor. This should ensure that the prisoners can be accommodated in two-bed cells instead of in communal rooms with up to eight inmates. The total number of detention places should increase from 209 to 250. In addition, a gradual renovation of the Schumacher building is planned.
