The Uelzen correctional facility is a correctional facility in Uelzen in Lower Saxony . The JVA is responsible for the execution of custodial sentences in closed units of up to five years in prison on adult male convicts and the execution of pre-trial detention on young prisoners. Male adult prisoners on remand are housed in the Lüneburg Am Markt department. In the Lüneburg Am Brockwinkler Weg department, custodial sentences are carried out in open prison or in free play.

history

The correctional facility (JVA) Uelzen was put into operation in 1987. The prison was planned by the architects Harald Leonhardt , Werner Haller and Hartmut Nedden. In 1993, the prisoners from the youth pre-trial detention department were transferred to the Hameln youth institution for one year ; 40 places for deportation detainees were taken over for a limited period. In 1994 another prison building was built in container construction with originally 60 prison places. In 1999 a serious incident occurred: a prisoner killed two servants, seriously injured two other servants, and then committed suicide.

In 1999 the youth pre- trial detention department was dissolved, and in 2002 the Uelzen prison was merged with the departments of Lüneburg, Stade and Cuxhaven. In 2004 the Cuxhaven department was incorporated into the Oldenburg prison. The Stade department was closed in 2013 after the newly built JVA Bremervörde had been opened. In 2013 the prison reopened a new youth pre-trial detention department after it was closed in 1999.

organization

The main institution in Uelzen consists of three buildings with 60 places each in four residential groups: House 1 with the reception department and short sentence execution, House 2 with regular execution for long-term prisoners and the juvenile remand and House 3 with regular execution and POV (open execution examination). There is also social therapy with around 30 treatment places in 4 residential groups. At the Uelzen location there is also an open prison department with a release department (open prison) and a training center for prison staff. In addition, the JVA in Lüneburg has an open prison department with 33 places and a pre-trial detention department with 50 places.

Employment Opportunities for Prisoners

In addition, prisoners are employed with auxiliary work in the clothes closet, kitchen and other institutional areas.
