About this Episode
In the second episode of Kontrovers – the podcast about the prison system, we take a closer look at Luxembourg’s largest prison: Schraasseg (Centre pénitentiaire de Luxembourg).
We begin by presenting key historical facts about the prison and discussing how the institution has evolved over time. The episode also examines current figures and the role of Schraasseg within the Luxembourgish prison system today.
Most importantly, the episode gives space to personal experiences. Two former prisoners share their perspectives and speak openly about their time behind bars, their daily life in prison, and how they experienced incarceration.
By combining historical context, current data, and personal testimonies, this episode aims to offer a deeper understanding of what prison means in practice and how it shapes the lives of those who pass through it.
