The Augsburg-Gablingen prison in Germany is under scrutiny following serious allegations of inmate mistreatment.

Reports suggest that prisoners were subjected to inhumane conditions, including being held naked in secured cells without basic necessities like mattresses or blankets.

The accusations have prompted investigations by the Augsburg prosecutor's office, focusing on potential bodily harm by prison staff.

Among those under investigation is the deputy prison director, who has denied the allegations through her legal representatives.

Calls for thorough investigations have been made by political figures, including Justice Minister Georg Eisenreich, who has vowed to uncover the truth.

The situation has sparked demands for better oversight and transparency in the prison system, with concerns that such incidents may not be isolated.
