Regional Court forwards the prison’s statement on the video call ban and sets a three-week deadline
In proceedings 595 StVK 126/26 Vollz, Berlin Regional Court I (Landgericht Berlin I) forwarded to me Heidering prison’s (JVA Heidering) statement of 28.07.2026 with its annexes and asked me to take note of it and, if appropriate, submit final written representations within three weeks. The court’s covering letter is dated 30.07.2026 and was prepared on 31.07.2026; the handwritten receipt note records receipt on 05.08.2026 at 19:20.
The prison requests dismissal of my application of 20.07.2026 and considers the video call ban lawful. It relies on the public video statement, the opportunity to comment (Anhörung) on 17.07.2026 and the decision of 22.07.2026, which it describes as having been handed over on 23.07.2026. It enclosed a sentence execution record (Vollstreckungsblatt) and the decision of 22.07.2026.
Commentary — assessment by Dmitry Bagrash
The prison’s opposing position has thus been formally introduced into the proceedings under § 109 StVollzG, and I have been given an opportunity to reply in final written representations. I record the difference from the parallel proceedings 595 StVK 68/26 Vollz: there too I received the other side’s statement, but a decision was not issued until more than three months later — here the documents were forwarded within a few days and a deadline was set.
The decision of 22.07.2026 on which the prison relies is documented under No. 172.
