Investigation Launched into Alleged Inmate Abuse at Augsburg Prison

Serious allegations of mistreatment, including claims of torture, have prompted calls for thorough investigation and accountability.

The Augsburg-Gablingen prison faces accusations of placing inmates in inhumane conditions without proper justification.
The allegations involve the use of 'particularly secured cells' where prisoners were reportedly held naked without mattresses or adequate facilities.
A former prison doctor and an attorney have brought these issues to light, describing the conditions as akin to torture.
The investigation targets several prison staff, including the deputy warden, who denies the allegations through legal representatives.
Bavarian Justice Minister Georg Eisenreich and political parties demand full transparency and accountability in addressing these grave accusations.
