Prison in Leipzig with hospital
The Leipzig prison with hospital is an institution in the Leipzig district of Meusdorf , Leinestrasse 111, for the execution of pre-trial detention for male adolescents, adolescents and adults for the district court district of Leipzig, the execution of prison sentences of up to 2 years for adult men for the district court districts of Leipzig and Torgau and the execution of substitute custodial sentences (district court districts Leipzig and Zwickau). In the hospital for male and female prisoners, one somatic and two psychiatric-psychotherapeutic wards are available. The manager is currently Rolf Jacob.
The main building of the hospital (house 1 and 2) was built in 1913 as a home for the welfare organization Leipzig. They passed to the state in 1934 and became a women's prison. In the GDR, the buildings functioned as a detention hospital from 1950. In the 1980s and 1990s, extensions were built. After what was then the inner-city prison in Leipzig had been closed, the Meusdorf complex took over the function of a prison in Leipzig with a hospital in 2001.
The facility hit the headlines in 2016 when the alleged terrorist Jaber al-Bakr hanged himself here.
