Allowed Long-Term Visits for a Select Few Inmates in JVA Burg, But They're on Hold Now
Selective long-term visits permitted for limited inmate population. - Limited number of incarcerated individuals granted extended prison visits.
Here's the deal: Only a moderate number of the cons in Burg's joint are granted lengthy, unsupervised visits, like from loved ones or kiddos. A Justice Ministry rep spoke about this shit in Magdeburg's Legal Affairs Committee in the parliament. Out of 605 prisoners, 36 were given the privilege, but not every one of them actually uses it.
These long-term chats, only found in Burg, Saxony-Anhalt, have been put on ice since the 37-year-old inmate killed his missus during a private sesh on April 3rd. The broad plain on entering the cell found her limits for resuscitation. The doc could only confirm her passing. A capper was issued for the husband.
Before a con can get these long-term hangs, their case is thoroughly analyzed. The visitor gets checked, the relationship robustness is probed, and the con's conduct matters, too, like how they play the game and if they stick to prison rules.

"Long-term visits" for Burg prison's convicts usually mean they can meet in a chilled-out staff-monitored spot. The relationship between the con and the visitor is tested, and the length of the visit can stretch according to the con's conduct.
The annihilation of a woman during a long-term visit on 4th April in an eastern German prison (which probably refers to this incident) has everyone double-checking the security protocols. The facility enables couples to meet privately in the con's cell, and these peace talks are now on a temporary ban.
While Saxony-Anhalt's specific regulations aren't easy to find, long-term inmate visits in Germany generally follow a series of rules, like:
- Controlled environment: The visits take place in controlled, staff-supervised spaces[1][3].
- Risk assessment: Prisons evaluate the con's behavior and the visitor's relationship before granting license-free contact[2].
- Duration limits: Longer meetings could be reserved for those maintaining good conduct[1][3].
The ongoing inquiry will help finalize formal criteria and reinstatement timelines for these visits in Magdeburg, depending on their investigations.
