The retirement home in the security wing

Emanuel Freudiger

As part of a report on the geriatric ward of the central prison in Lenzburg, I met the incarcerated criminal Hansueli B. Mr. B., 64 years old, originally from Salgesch/VS, has been incarcerated for over 35 years for double murder and arson and will remain incarcerated for the rest of his life. He was the only inmate to have his portrait taken and even brought two pairs of glasses, which he put on for fun. His long time behind bars is clearly evident in his face. Photograph taken on December 15, 2011, in the central prison of the correctional facility in Lenzburg/AG.
