Justice Enforcement Facility Bautzen
Légende
The Justice Enforcement Facility in Bautzen, built in 1900, was notorious for its inhumane conditions in the past and was therefore called "Gelbes Elend" (yellow misery). Now, the creation of green spaces and sport facilities is supposed to contribute the humanization of the penal system. In the darkest chapter of the prison after 1945, when Bautzen was used as an internment camp of the Soviet military, there were probably several thousands political victims. Immediately before the reunification in the GDR, more than 2,000 prisoners, among them peaceful demonstrators from Dresden, were imprisoned. In the photo: View into the prison.
