4. Vocational training for prisoners

As a basis for the chance of a probation after release crucial importance falls to the vocational training of a prisoner. In 2000, an evaluation done in the Bavarian prisons has proved that only approximately 58% of the adult prisoners and approximately 35% of the juvenile prisoners have completed a vocational training. Again this result confirmed that great efforts are necessary in the field of vocational training. The Bavarian Prison Service has taken over these tasks a long time ago and has created an offer in training fully corresponding to the current demands.

Altogether 879 qualified professional training places are available in the Bavarian Prisons in the year 2002, 554 of them for adult prisoners and 325 for juvenile prisoners.

In the larger prisons there are mostly own training workshops or courses furnished, e.g.
