Good day!
Surely many have heard about European prisons, which are more like holiday homes than penitentiary institutions !?
Today we will tell you about German prisons.
In German prisons, as in many European countries, the prisoner's sacred right to privacy applies.
There are telephones on the walls in the corridors from which you can call any country and talk as much as you want, but at your own expense.
But telephones can also be found inside cells, and prisoners can call anyone at any time, and most importantly, these conversations are not tapped!
In Germany, eavesdropping on prisoners 'conversations is prohibited by law protecting prisoners' privacy.
There are, however, some exceptions. If, for example, a rapist threatens a victim of violence from prison, such calls will be blocked.
The death penalty, with the adoption of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949, was abolished in Germany, and replaced by a life sentence.
The life sentence is divided into three phases, which prisoners spend in different rooms, moving from place to place at the right time. This was done within the framework of special therapy, which suggests that such movements, albeit inside the prison complex, have a beneficial effect on the psyche of a person who is imprisoned for the rest of his life.
There are bars on the prison windows, but the windows themselves can be opened. In accordance with European standards, it is believed that a prisoner should be able to ventilate his cell. Although such a structure is much more expensive both during construction and when heating a room, it would be more convenient and cheaper for everyone if the windows were not opened, but compliance with the norms established by the courts is sacred here.
All the peepholes in the cell doors, through which the guards could observe what is happening inside, are blocked, video monitoring in prisons is carried out only along the outer perimeter.
The glasses in the special blocks are bullet-proof, and the decorative inserts in the windows, a decorative element, are made of heavy-duty special alloy that cannot be sawed or deformed.
With German meticulousness, it has been calculated that prisoners work 444 minutes a day, which is 37 hours a week.
The usual duration of work in German state institutions is 40 hours per week, but in prisons it is quite a lot of time spent on control and inspection before and after work, so working hours here are less than in the wild.
There are no weapons at all on the territory of the prisons. Pistols are only in the duty station. There are rubber truncheons and shields, but they are also locked in designated areas.
The weapon of the German employees is the word.
Weapons are issued to the guards only in cases of transporting prisoners. One guard has a pistol, the other a pepper spray.
Prisoners are only addressed to YOU.
It is important for any prison officer to make it clear to the prisoner that they are being taken seriously. With all his problems. This is not a show, but a really important point. Of course, each employee has his own style of communication, but respect for the personality of the prisoner is perhaps the main thing for everyone.
According to German law, a person is not obliged to inform their employer about their past. Having settled after his release at a new place of work, he does not appear in the reporting and in the minds of colleagues as a former prisoner. The right to a new life, like the right to privacy, is respected unquestioningly.
Germany is famous for its well-functioning bureaucratic system, which also works great in the penal system!
See you soon!
