German term or phrase: häufig bis ausschließlich
Justizvollzug scheint erst dann für die Medien interessant zu werden, wenn es gilt, der Öffentlichkeit zu zeigen, wie schlecht die dort Beschäftigten arbeiten. Sie sollen Medikamente in großem Stil unterschlagen; sie versorgen die Inhaftierten medizinisch schlecht; sie sollen absichtlich „vergessen“ Hafträume aufzuschließen, Ausgangsscheine und andere Formulare zu bearbeiten. Es entsteht der Eindruck, dass wir Justizvollzugsbedienstete uns jeden Tag aufs Neue einen Spaß daraus machen, die Inhaftierten zu drangsalieren. ***Häufig bis ausschließlich*** wird aus der Sicht der Inhaftierten berichtet.
