The Left demanded answers and sounded the alarm! – Prison plans out of control? State government delays prison construction – financial chaos looms!

A multi-million euro construction project is causing political upheaval in Saxony-Anhalt. Instead of the long-planned location in the north of Halle-Tornau, the new correctional facility (JVA) may now be built in Weißenfels, right off the A9 motorway.

The Left Party faction demanded clarification and raised the alarm: rising costs, delays, and a lack of transparency are weighing on the state budget – and parliament was only informed at a late stage.

In the official motion to the Finance Committee dated March 18, 2025, it states:

“According to the latest information, the construction of a new correctional facility is to be realized in Weißenfels, near the A9 motorway, instead of in Halle-Tornau.”

This raises several pressing questions:

Why the sudden U-turn? What reasons could have led to the relocation of the plans?
An expensive course change: What impact will this have on the already approved 2025/26 double budget?
Idle land: What will happen to the plots already purchased in Halle-Tornau by the state-owned IPS GmbH?
Secret decisions: How can parliament and the public be prevented from once again being presented with faits accomplis?

The Left Party faction therefore demanded full transparency. Members of Parliament Kristin Heiß and Andreas Henke stated unequivocally in their motion:

“The resulting cost increases and construction delays are of great interest to the state of Saxony-Anhalt and must be discussed in the relevant committees.”

The decision casts a harsh light on how the state government handles major projects.

Showdown in the Finance Committee?

On September 18, 2025, the topic “Changed construction plans for a correctional facility in Weißenfels” was officially on the agenda.
