I've stayed in Hotels and lodges worse than this place.

These guys are being treated better than a lot of the elderly in nursing homes out there.

If this is the most dangerous, I'd love to see what minimum security looks like.

It’s amazing how culture plays so much into society. In a maximum security prison in Germany the prisoners live like kings because they have a level of civility and respect. In the US, the vast majority of prisoners can’t be trusted with a cup of water.

After seeing the Worst Prison in Madagascar, this looks like a vacation in St. Tropez.

"Germany's Most Dangerous Jail" They literally live in luxury compared to U.S prisoners. Dangerous jail in Germany must mean a prisoner gave another prisoner a mean look.

After watching US prisons documentaries this German prison is so well organized and calm. It's a breath of fresh air! Well done Germany on how you conduct your prisons!!

These prison guards are so incredibly friendly and that place is really set up nice for a prison.

The only Max prison where people try to break into.

This prison is a 5 star hotel compared to Madagascar prison .

As someone who has spent a few years in jail here in the US, and lived without basic necessities, with gangs controlling everything, with administrative segregation, with violence and a lack of hope or any sort of exit services, seeing this.... just blows my mind. My life would have turned out so much differently had I not been sent to jail at 18 for possessing .2 g of marijuana, or if this had been the model of REHABILITATION and incarceration used here in the US. Wow.

The man that said, "As long as there's uncertainty, I don't want to be out free. I don't want to HARM ANYONE ANYMORE." That statement is the most honest and thought provoking statement I've ever heard! He has been rehabilitated in his thinking patterns, putting others above himself and even his own freedom, that says more about his character and empathy for others than anything he could ever do or say. I wish him well, health and eventually freedom.

These prisoners live better than people in third world middle class let alone the poor class

I am surprised that the guard does not give a good morning kiss to the inmates.

I can't believe how docile and calm the prisons are in Germany. I've seen people being attacked while visiting incarcerated family members as a kid here in the US.

well, I just watched a U.S. high-security prison documentary. they treat people like livestock and they behave like that. in this facility, they really prepare people for an "outside life" they keep their hope and dignity, and even if there is no chance to get out, they behave more like any of us. all the respect for Germany!

The prisoners basically live in rent free studio apartments.

This should be called "Germany's Most Dangerous Nursing Home" SMH

A sex offender being honest about the fact that he isn't ready to leave prison yet because he knows he will still live a pretty good life in prison is real rehabilitation

It’s amazing to see how prisons are managed in other places. I appreciate the fact that there is an extension of housing after a sentence has been served, if the person is still likely to reoffend for whatever reason.

I'm currently waiting for the apartment manager that runs this place to call me back about available units.

I am here after Madagascar. I can say I am literally seeing heaven

This is why prison reform is needed in my country as well as the US and other places. Why should it suprise us that treating people like human beings might actually make them better people.

I went to jail for 4 months in Florida. If you get sick you don’t get seen by medical for about a week. Dental problems takes about a month. The guards treat you more or less like a caged dog; Indifferent to everything except that you’re in the cage. We were allowed to go to a concrete room open to the outside by a big iron fence for fresh air once a week. They would do group punishments (shutting off the TV, lockdown, withholding all commissary, etc) for things like if someone wasn’t wearing their clothes properly, sitting on a table, exercising, playing with a ball made out of a shirt. Officers constantly threatened us with DRs which are disciplinary reports that could extend our stay in jail. They looked the other way when there was fights, thefts, harassment, threats, etc. Their random searches involve throwing everything you own on the floor and pushing it around with their shoes. The mats we slept on were about 2” thick with no weight on them and those were on steel trays bolted to the wall. We all had sheets and only some of us had blankets; pillows aren’t allowed. We couldn’t have anything on the walls. It costs our loved ones .50¢ a minute to talk on the phone and about 30$ to do a video call. In person visitations aren’t allowed. I worked in the kitchen and was accused of stealing food and even though they couldn’t prove i did, I was kicked out of the work program and lost its benefits, because I was in the area where they noticed food was missing. If you’re on medication and you don’t hear the call, you’re SOL. If you’re on medication and the nurse misses your block, forgets about your block, or just doesn’t show up for their shift, you’re SOL. If you’re showing signs of hurting yourself or talk about hurting/killing yourself, they take away all of your personal items, strip you naked and give you a “turtle suit” (like a green mover’s blanket with holes for your arms and legs) and they put you in a smaller cell with nothing but a toilet and usually one other person for 72 hours after which you then get to talk to a “psychologist” who pretty much just tells you to not hurt yourself or you’re going back into that small cell. TL;DR Florida has shitty jails.

Waiting for the “dangerous” part 🥱

"The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons."

Reading the comments makes me wonder. The intent behind a prison sentence is "loss of personal freedom" and not "incarceration in a inhumane hellhole"

Remember that even though it may not be as "satisfying" to see a criminal get treated with dignity, in the end its going to be better for society. It isn't based off of "revenge" or strong emotional response, and rehabilitating prisoners into functional members of society is going to be better than creating animals that end up going straight back to prison after a few months, even if it seems too fair.

To see how she as a woman can walk freely with the inmate while having no weapon is remarkable

Homeless people are trying to break INTO this “prison”.

This is close to how it is in Sweden. You dont need to treat prisoners like animals for it to be a punishment. Rehabilitation is so important so they have a chance to do better when they get out.

I lost it at cooking cookies for family visit 😂😂😂😂

"I've an appointment with the barber" 😂😂😂

Cant believe this is really a prison, the inmates looks so happy & comfortable then getting free outside, the only thing missing is room service

I love the philosophy of German, Norwegian, and other civilized prisons. The attitude is that simply being in prison and deprived of freedom is punishment enough. I wish the US had this mentality, despite never being in the criminal justice system myself. It’s just more civilized.

I love how in this prison it looks more like an apartment complex you can’t leave rather than cage-like cells with bars

Wow these inmates lofts i mean cells are interesting. I was just waiting on them to show the spa area

This is a luxury prison

People really think it’s wrong how "nice" it is for the prisoners? Being locked in is the penalty the Court decided them to serve, not being treated as an animal

So far, I am actually impressed with this Jail/Prison. There's silverware and nice bathrooms. Their allowed to have pictures on the walls. I've done time in Michigan Jails/Prisons. We have to use the given sheets and blankets. This doesn't look tough at all. If I'm not mistaken, I seen speakers in one man's cell. Wow. Plus, visitors and the inmate(s) get to visit in a private room. I'm sure there's cameras, but in Michigan it's ONE huge room where it's loud and CO's walking around. The Staff seem respectful, which is different from where I come from as well. There are ALOT of rude CO'S in the Prisons here in Michigan. The Power goes to their head. So, all in all, I'm impressed.

I understand as to why this is, but I love that the keys are censored but the nudity posters aren't.

these prisoners live better than I do. Cooked food, washed clothes and paid to study. Never heard of prisoners having a key to their cell and being free to walk around or take lunch break from work until now. Library, free health care and they still complain. Ended up here after watching Russia's toughest prison, no term of comparison.

One of the best facilities i have seen. In my previous employment i did work at some of these facilities and got mentally sick 😫. Not Germany.

As a former inmate here in the US I feel that if prisons here were more like Aachen not as many people would reoffend. The ability to buy pretty much what ever you wanted would make life locked up easier to deal with. Here in Michigan so many items have been removed over the years that it's a surprise that inmates can buy a music player for MP3s.

The mannerisms between guards and prisoners are astounding. I’m in a wheelchair and several times people won’t even get the door for me let alone say hello.

This makes me want to move to Germany and commit a crime. Can you imagine? Free studio apartment for life, free food all day, TV, belongings, no one bothering you except a nice guard that says good morning and good night. Some people strive for this.

In my older years I prefer to stay inside my room and watch tv, collect timepieces, I don’t go outside unless I need something. This would actually be ideal for me. Not gonna lie, the accommodations look pretty dang good to me.

That "terrible" jail looks like a five-star hotel compared to the prisons in the United States

When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in jail.

Wow, that's a prison? Looks more like a hotel.

Wow! Second to Norway you could call this a resort. In the U.S. they wear uniforms, can't have piercings, and can't smoke. Commissary is limited to food, toiletries, and postage. And forget decorating. It's a bare, cold, hostile system in the U.S.. Yeah, I've been there, don't judge.

This documentary was very interesting and it didn't take long for me to get into it, unlike other documentaries I've watched.

It’s call dangerous, the only dangerous part is the inmates may lose their own keys...

So calms, nobody throwing gangster sign or fight for a cup of ramen like in usa.

This is the best one I've seen so far while browsing through prison documentaries, the worst for sure is Madagascar.

Great work.

After watching the Russian “Fire Island” prison documentary on this channel this place doesn’t seem half bad.

I would much rather serve a Prison sentence in Germany than the USA. The German Prison sees the prisoners as people first and the are treated accordingly. The American Prisons seem brutal in comparison.

This is so interesting. i enjoy learning how each country runs their facilities and the rate of return on prisoners . This prison appears very nice , organized well .

Great video

As a German, I don't know what I expected (having watched a lot of the other high-security prison documentaries), but this was quite interesting! I honestly had no idea how our prisons look from the inside

Coming here from Fire Island? Welcome!

That’s a nice prison, it even has plants in the corridors. Those one man cells look like small studio apartment, if those guys saw the U.S prisons they would be very appreciative of what they have.

Within less than 60 seconds of watching this I can say I have a little bit of respect for at least the man that says that he doesn't want to be released and he doesn't want to be free because he's afraid he'd hurt somebody else I don't have respect for what he did or why he's there but at least he knows that there might be a chance and that right there means something

Having watched all prison documentaries from all over the world this a five star hotel.

“We’ll, it depends. Sometimes I can’t help but feel bad for what fate has dealt them.” (11:27) The empathy in this statement hit differently.

Interesting documentaries.

I am from Aachen 😀 but I didn't know that we have the most dangerous prison here... luckily also the most secure one lmao

I'm sorry I know I keep commenting but as a American that's spent a little time locked up here you just cant imagine how shocked I am at how these guys are treated. Its 100% the right way to do it if you want the guys to get out and live a crime free life. Amazing

This is the equivalent to a mom sending her kid to his room (with Playstation and TV inside).

I find it important to treat prisoners with dignity and give them a chance to be respected. If you tret a human like dirt, they have no reason to ever feel like they are not. If you show them, that being treated with respect and that society at least believes that you can do better, gives one (not all but some) the confidence to try and do better.

Is this an example of German efficiency? It simply does feel like a dangerous prison. But I do appreciated that people are treated humanly and with a pragmatic approach

Good documentary. What really struck me was the silence in the cell blocks. The US prisons seem to be one solid scream of different voices.

Dania Emundts does a fantastic job and remains professional at all times. Big props to her.

Very interesting comparing prisons around the world. I just finished watching a documentary about a prison in Madagascar. Seems like the total opposite of this one. I think a society's prisons tell a lot about the society as a whole.

“Germany’s dangerous prison” Philippine prisons “Am I a joke to you? “

For those saying German prisons are luxury - in comparison to other countries like the US, they sure are. But remember, its still a prison. No freedom for you. No walk in a park, no trips, no holidays, no independent choices from guards. And those luxuries in their cells, can also be taken away as punishment.

I’m a Corrections Officer in Texas, living in the bachelor Officer dorms. And these inmates have way better accommodations than I do!

Now that is a relaxed prison.

This is the nicest prison I’ve ever seen!!!… in my home country when the screws ramp your cell… they take EVERYTHING apart and leave it out side on the landing… then you have to re do your whole cell…

Honestly for a dangerous prison. Its actually quiet fancy in comparison to US prisons

Interesting how people are suprised about their cells. Prison isn't only about "you have done something bad now suffer". It's also about rehabilitation.

This prison is the best l have seen, the inmates are treated so well unlike here in the United States where they are treated like animals, Great job Germany 🇩🇪

Im german and when i was in prison for 3 months we had a Minigolf course. It felt like on holiday with alot of addicts.

Click baited again!!! Thought was a prison doc. But was really a nice hotel add...thinking of booking there lol

Treating the inmates well is a good investment for the society outside, when the inmates will be released to freedom one day. Thank you for the interesting and profound report!

Wait? This isn't what prisons are supposed to be like. Hell! Many would love to live in this prison. They even have plants. For many it would be awesome to live here for life, for horrific crimes they've committed.

"We are looking for security hazards..." Puts aside a knife, spoon and fork. 😅

"The degree of civilization of a society can be judged by the condition of its prisoners." (Fjodor Dostoevsky)

some of us living in big cities around the world are almost getting jealous of the nice conditions these guys live in rent free.

Very interesting how prisons are managed

02:25 The moment when you realize they blurred the top of the key so no one can make a copy from a still of this clip 😮

Amazing to see how each country treats its citizens especially when it comes to prisoners

I went to the hospital in the U.S. for mental health and got treated much worse than anyone here.

I remember seeing this before the one on Madagascar, and I thought 'that German jail is paradise'. Now I found this clip again and saw the title. Well, I still think it's paradise compared to the Philippines or Madagascar

I've lived in Germany for 10 years now seeing this documentary as a civilian you're not surprised much this is right, this is very human the way they treat and handle the inmates is almost next to perfection although the inmates have crossed the lines, and defined the established laws. But this is Germthey've come a long way in history this country is an example and must be an example for every country to learn from I'm impressed by the manner in which human life is now being handled in Germany both in prisons and outside I'm amazed how everything is put in place it's beyond my comprehension how this beautiful country is doing things. Keep it up my German people respect.

I was impressed for the guy baking cookies for his family. Most people in the free world won't even call them. Hopefully he changes his life around after his sentance.

These cells look comfortable especially when compared to us jails. Nice touch of blurring out the keys.

that's the best looking jail I've ever seen in my life. Also check out the jail in Norway. It looks like a holiday resort.
