Life and education in prison: 'I am more than a prisoner'

The article discusses the vocational training opportunities available to female inmates at the JVA III Frankfurt prison, focusing on their experiences in a kitchen setting. Mila, who chose her name to remain anonymous, works as a cook-in-training and describes how she often forgets she is incarcerated while working. She previously worked at an airport and in catering, and now completes a two-year apprenticeship. The program is run in collaboration with the Bergiusschule and the Industrial and Commercial Chamber (IHK), which handle assessments and issue certificates without disclosing the location of the training. The article highlights the structured environment and the dedication of instructors like Horst Kerber, who teaches both incarcerated trainees and those outside the prison. It also mentions other trainees such as Kataleya, who has been in custody for two years and faces challenges during her initial time in prison.
