About the Show


“Kontrovers – de Podcast iwwert de Strofvollzuch” is a Luxembourgish podcast that explores the prison system and its broader social context. Our aim is to shine a light on topics that are often left in the shadows – incarceration, justice, rehabilitation, but also related issues such as addiction, migration, poverty, and exclusion. We do not seek sensationalism. Instead, we want to understand how the prison system works, who is affected by it, and how it could be improved.

This podcast follows in the tradition of the historic Radio ARA programme “Iwwert d’Maueren ewech!”, hosted for 35 years by Jeannot Schmitz. With this new format, the topic of the prison system returns to the airwaves in a renewed form, adapted to contemporary challenges.
 
The podcast offers an informative and analytical look at the Luxembourg prison system: the functioning of institutions, conditions of detention, life paths of incarcerated people, the role of institutions, and human realities that are often absent from public debate. It also explores alternatives to incarceration, different forms of sanction, and approaches linked to restorative justice, which remain largely underrepresented in public discussion.
 
Beyond the strictly penitentiary framework, the podcast also addresses themes that are directly or indirectly connected to the prison system, such as addiction, migration, poverty, prostitution, and social exclusion. These topics are explored through in-depth conversations with guests from different backgrounds, including former detainees, professionals, representatives of civil society, and experts.
 
True to its title, Kontrovers aims to be an open and nuanced space for discussion, addressing sensitive issues without simplification or ideological positioning.

Nadia is a founding member of “eran, eraus … an elo?”. Since the creation of the association, she has been committed to improving the daily living conditions of detainees. Her main focus lies in the psychological support of prisoners, as well as support for their children and relatives outside the prison.

Gregory is a founding member of “eran, eraus … an elo?” and currently serves as the president of the association. As a law student, his focus lies on the legal aspects of the association’s work as well as on issues concerning minors within the penal system. In addition, Gregory is strongly engaged in matters related to the conflict in Ukraine.

Christian is a founding member of the association “eran, eraus … an elo?”. Since 2021, he has been actively engaged in advocating for the rights of detainees. The main focus of his work lies in improving the working conditions of prisoners. Christian is also the author of the book “Strafvollzug und Strafvollstreckung in Luxemburg – 1945–2023.”
