There was also an open prison department with eight places. Another 26 places were in the hospital ward.

The institution had the central health station of the penal system of the state of Saxony-Anhalt, so that all seriously ill or otherwise health-impaired male prisoners in the state were housed here. Diseases such as hepatitis and tuberculosis were treated . There were EKG machines and equipment for ultrasound , X-ray diagnostics and gastroscopy available. Minor surgical interventions could also be carried out. There was also a room for physiotherapy .
The total area of the facility is 17,000 m². In addition to the three prison houses, two of the buildings were intended for administration, one building was used for open execution. There was also a gate, a transformer station and four purpose-built buildings for training and work. There was a library and sports facilities for the prisoners .
In March 2019, the Naumburg correctional facility was sold to the Projektgesellschaft Mitteldeutschland (PGM) investor group. The entire complex is to be demolished, except for the listed jury building , which was built in 1859. After the demolition, a hotel, a gallery, a vinotheque and apartment buildings are to be built on the site.
history
The facility of the penal institution goes back to a royal jury that originally existed here . The jury met in Naumburg from 1849. The first hearing took place under the chairmanship of Appellate Judge Schmaling on September 1, 1849 against the tailor Arnold on suspicion of street robbery . Arnold was 10 years imprisonment convicted. From 1855, with major structural problems, the court building of the royal jury was built in front of the Salt Gate on the site of the former Voigt Theater , which today serves as the administrative building of the penal institution. The building cost 63,199 thalers and was occupied on October 10, 1859. The building already had a prison area.
Between 1865 and 1935, a total of 10 death sentences were carried out in the court yard . The first execution took place on May 23, 1865. The journeyman cooper Christian Ferdinand Kropf was executed for the murder of his parents and brother.
The prison section of the building was continuously expanded. A side wing was added from 1877 to 1879. The prison then also served as a women's prison. An area for juvenile offenders had been in existence since 1876. Another side wing was built between 1901 and 1905 and was used as a pre- trial detention center until 2012 .
During the Nazi era , political prisoners from several countries were imprisoned in the Naumburg correctional facility, including British from the Channel Islands occupied by the Germans , where they had to do forced labor under inadequate living conditions. Of the eleven prisoners from the Channel Islands who were incarcerated in Naumburg, only six survived.
Since the judicial reform of 1879 at the latest, the facility has only served as a prison for male prisoners. In 1980 a second cell building was built, the ground floor of which was a large production hall. In the 1980s, the JVA (at that time "penal institution" (StVE)) was occupied with a large number of political prisoners who, like the criminal inmates, had to do forced labor inside and outside the facility. The individual departments ("commands") of the prison were z. Sometimes named after the companies that had to be worked for (e.g. "MEWA" 1-6). Refusals to work were punished with solitary confinement and handcuffs and shackles to the bed frame.
In 1993/1994 the penal institution was extensively renovated and the security technology was fundamentally renewed. In addition, a new kitchen wing was built in 1996/1997. The watchtowers were also completely renewed during this period. Further renovation measures followed. In 2001, the previously refurbished hospital ward received a so-called intervention room for minor surgical interventions. From 2006, a SEK command post was set up in the prison. In 2010, the Naumburg correctional facility was incorporated into the Volkstedt correctional facility as a branch . The branch office was closed on September 30, 2012.
A hostage-taking carried out by a prisoner in the correctional facility in April 1997 caused a sensation , which could only be ended after several hours. In 2005 there was another hostage situation.
