Institution
The current facility was completed in 2002 and has 398 detention places, 20 of which are open prison . Male persons who have received a youth penalty (according to JGG) and are mostly under 21 years of age serve their prison sentence in it.
The area of the plant is 158,119 m² and thus almost 16 hectares. In addition to six detention houses and the outdoor prison, there are also two administration buildings, the gate building, a technical building, a greenhouse, a school, a sports hall, three workshops and a church building.
The inner courtyard of the institution has a size of one hectare. There is a 780 m² pond there. Other small courtyards are assigned to the individual buildings. The outer walls of the complex have a length of 1618 m.
Execution
The execution is designed as a residential group execution . The prisoners are each housed in individual cells; however, these rooms are grouped into groups of 12 to 20 people. This is how social interaction should be trained.
In the school of the institution secondary school qualifications (grade 9 or 10) can be obtained and there are special courses for the learning difficulties. In addition, there is also the possibility of vocational school lessons and professional qualifications. Practice workshops, three workshops and a greenhouse are available for this. Vocational training is possible in the areas of building construction workers, carpenters, gardening and landscaping, parts fitters as well as painters and varnishers.
In addition to the sports field and sports hall, there are also hobby and handicraft rooms for leisure activities.
history
In 1959, the GDR authorities began to set up a prison command in a field north of the village of Raßnitz. In the course of the planned open- cast lignite mining south of Raßnitz, an extensive relocation of the White Elster became necessary. The Raßnitz prisoners were to be used there as workers. On May 14, 1960, the first 120 prisoners were housed in a barrack camp. In 1961 there were already 450 prisoners living in the camp.
After the Elster had been relocated, the prisoners were deployed in the open-cast lignite mine and in the Merseburg slip-on concrete plant . In the 1970s, prisoners were also deployed in Buna Schkopau in property I54, as well as in BIR's own company to build the wall around the property.
Between 1985 and 1989 the gate and service building as well as the vehicle lock were rebuilt.
In December 1998 the order to demolish most of the building was placed. The state of construction of the building was dilapidated and could not be renovated, so it was decided to rebuild what is now the Raßnitz youth institution. The 73 million euro new building is intended to serve as a model for the penal system.
The groundbreaking ceremony took place on March 29, 2000 and the topping-out ceremony in 2001. After a construction period of 28 months, the Raßnitz youth institution was completed in 2002.
