The Consular Section hosted a "Kaffee und Kuchen" reception for Bavarian prison directors. The two-hour-event included a presentation on how the Special Consular Services Unit takes care of and arranges visits to U.S. prisoners in Bavarian prisons. Consul General Eric Nelson and Lisa Washburn (right), Chief of the Consular Section, emphasized the importance of a good working relationship with the prisons and discussed issues that could improve the collaboration. In addition, the prison directors were shown the consular and in particular the visa section before refreshments and American-style cakes and pastries were served.
