Lucha: No failures at the “Lazy Pelz’ in Heidelberg. 21 lawyers report in a letter about allegedly “massive abuses” in a facility for addicted criminals.

The responsible minister has now rejected the criticism in the state parliament. Addicted and mentally ill offenders are accommodated and treated in the penal system. Around two weeks ago, a 27-year-old died in the facility. The use of the former prison for correctional measures is planned as an interim solution until the summer of 2025.
