Justizvollzugsanstalt Rottenburg

The Justizvollzugsanstalt Rottenburg is one of the larger correctional facilities in Baden-Württemberg and was founded in 1824. It serves as a purely male prison and offers space for about 500 inmates. The facility has branches in Tübingen for pre-trial detention and in Maßhalderbuch for open custody[1][5].

• Correctional Employment (VAW): The JVA Rottenburg offers a wide range of employment opportunities for inmates, including six self-operated businesses and eight assembly operations. The products include agricultural products such as potatoes, grains, and vegetables, as well as meat and sausage products. Other offerings include baked goods, woodworking, and beer table sets[1].
• Training and Qualification: The facility offers entry-level qualifications in various fields such as baking, warehouse logistics, and welding technology[1].

The main mission of the JVA Rottenburg is to promote the reintegration of inmates while ensuring the safety of society. This is achieved through a combination of work, training, and care. The values of the facility include respect, responsibility, and teamwork[5].

An important aspect of sustainability is agricultural production according to Bioland guidelines. Since 1987, the cultivation areas and livestock farming have been managed ecologically, which is not only environmentally friendly but also provides high-quality products for the regional market[1].

The JVA Rottenburg offers training positions for correctional officers and places emphasis on comprehensive training that imparts both theoretical and practical skills. The training includes the care and supervision of inmates as well as participation in various security measures[4][5].
