Current figures show that attacks on legal officers, mobile phones, weapon -like objects and drugs in domestic prisons are the order of the day. It is freely spoken about “frightening grievances” that “urgently” needs to be resolved.
What about substitution programs and supporting standards in prisons? The FPö bored, based on the answers from Minister of Justice Alma Zadić, an overview can be spider – and that shocked.
Exactly 378 attack because of prisoners of people on legal officers were recorded between 2022 and 2024 (date: November 30), nearly 3500 mobile phones and around 200 weapons -like items were protected. This means that every third day an official is injured and three mobile phones are protected every day “lack of staff”.
Almost 1,000 prisoners needed a replacement program the previous year, ie replacement medicines. Because they are addicted. “This number is extremely high, although abuse is often exploited,” says Schuh and gives examples: “Prisoners broke specific replacement resources to pass them on to other prisoners. Moreover, they ask for additional medication such as benzodiazepines to abuse them as a intoxicant. Instead of a medically accompanied cold, the judiciary holds this doubtful practice – at the expense of taxpayers alone.
1.6 million euros for translations
But not enough: since 2022, 1.6 million euros have been spent on translation and interpretation activities. “And also for prisoners who initially insult the judicial staff in German and then suddenly only want to understand Arabic. In particular absurd: after ten minutes, an interpreter discovered that this prisoner cannot do Arabic at all,” reports nr Schuh of the cases who The workforce is also held in three years. Programs cost themselves.
During the specified period there were around 600,000 euros in money donations without attention. “Moreover, work performance is paid extra, which means that the total costs remain unclear,” says Schuh, “the climate bonus for prisoners falling under the FPö should not be surpassed in absurdity.”
Instead of “cuddly course” in the future “sensible prison culture”
“Every answer to my questions is a scandal in itself. The figures reveal frightening complaints, “says Nr Schuh. The “terrible costs” and the “non -durable conditions” must be managed in the priority. The politician calls for a rapid change of this “cuddle right” to a “sensible prison culture”: “Clear reforms are needed to restore safety and order. The judiciary should not be a feeling for criminals.”
As the “krone” already reported, exactly 42,863 dental fillings were administered to imprison people between January 2022 and September 2024. At currently 8823 prisoners (from 1 February 2025) this corresponds to an average for each prisoner every six months.
