New boss for the JVA Kiel: Simone Königs relies on digitization and re -socialization!

Kiel. A significant strategic change takes place in the Kiel judicial facility: Simone Königs will take the new head of the UNIDAD Gludau, who retires after over five years. Justice Minister Kerstin von der Kecken (CDU) described Königs as "highly qualified and active lawyer" and praised her in the official inauguration.

The 42-year-old Königs, who was born in Kiel, studied law at the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel. After her second state examination, she initially started her career in the Saxon state service. There she was appointed enforcement officer and deputy head of the institution in the JVA Zwickau in June 2011. She continued her career to the enforcement department of the Saxon Ministry of Justice and finally to the Chemnitz public prosecutor, before taking a similar position at the JVA Waldheim

Various career in the judiciary

in 2018 Königs returned to Schleswig-Holstein and took responsibility for the JVA Neumünster. There she gained valuable experiences before she worked in the Schleswig-Holstein Ministry of Justice. Your return to the JVA Kiel is now an exciting challenge for her that she is looking forward to. "I want to further develop and design the JVA Kiel," she said.

One of the main challenges that you expect is digitization, an issue of increasing relevance in today's society. Dealing with mentally striking prisoners is also an important topic that the employees in prison puts in front of new hurdles. Königs emphasizes the need to find innovative solutions in cooperation with everyone involved in the prison. "My employees do their best every day to ensure the security of the general public and to promote the re -socialization of the prisoners," she says.

Königs also attaches importance to treatment offers for the prisoners, as they are crucial for a successful reintegration into society. This is done against the background of a current report by the police union, which has found "poor health care" in the correctional facilities. The health of the employees will also be important for the new director, since working with prisoners is demanding and challenging. "I want to support the work of my teams and take their concerns seriously," promised Königs.

These strategic approaches show that Simone Königs not only wants to make a change at the head of the JVA Kiel, but also strives for a comprehensive concept for improving the conditions for both detained and employees. Your comprehensive experience in various functions in the judiciary will certainly be a valuable resource for your new role, and it remains to be seen which developments will show in the coming months.
