Literaturhaus podcast about the prison library

With the prisoner's library in the Oslebshausen correctional facility, the Stadtbibliothek Bremen operates a branch that most Bremen residents will probably never set foot in. Felix Krause from the Bremer Literaturhaus was there and presents the unusual branch in the current edition of the podcast series. In the article, library director Andreas Gebauer explains the model nature of the facility, which is the only regular branch of a Stadtbibliothek behind prison walls in Germany. And employee Marion Nitschmann reports on her everyday work. Felix Krause also talks to three inmates of the correctional facility who regularly visit the library.
