Suhl-Goldlauter Prison as Thuringia's central transport facility

The Suhl-Goldlauter correctional facility (JVA) on the southern slope of the Thuringian Forest was opened in 1991 and has since provided space for 282 male prisoners in closed (262) and open (20) detention. The four- to five-storey facility is characterised by modern infrastructure and high security standards.

As the central transport facility in Thuringia, the Suhl-Goldlauter Prison is responsible for transport within Thuringia. This means that it is responsible for transporting prisoners between prisons in Thuringia. The Goldlauter Prison has specially trained staff and modern transport vehicles that meet the high security requirements. In addition, the Goldlauter Prison also serves as the Thuringian hub for nationwide prisoner transport. Prisoners from other federal states who need to be transported to prisons in Thuringia usually pass through the Suhl-Goldlauter Prison.
