On that date, the youth department of the prison Horgen was gradually removed, so that all 52 seats become available for adults.\n\n\nNevertheless, in prison Horgen still be possible to accommodate ausnahmnsweise young people, the capacity of the new Jugenabteilung not sufficient or if more than one accused must be housed separately because of imminent danger of collusion.

The prison was Limmattal in September 2010 as part of the district Dietikon building commissioned.\n\nThis is the prison Limmattal the youngest and most modern prison of the ten companies in the prisons Canton Zurich.\n\n\nIn prison Limmattal an adult occupant of the strictly separate youth department was integrated for young males, which replaces the former, housed in the prison Horgen Youth Department.

The prison Pf�ffikon was rebuilt in 1996-97 and increase by one level. This allowed an additional 28 seats are won. As part of this change, the old security systems were replaced, so that the prison today Pf�ffikon to date is the art and can be seen next to the airport prison as a very modern operation. \n\nIn addition to its traditional functions as a remand prison, the prison operates Pf�ffikon since January 2002, a security department with 6 seats. \nSuch a department within the TVC was necessary because was recorded in the last 10 years at the extremely violent and / or escape investigation and prepare a large increase security prisoners. In the security department there - as the name suggests - a higher standard in terms of structural safety, but also with regard to daily contact with the inmates.
