Statute overview

About this statute

Heading for general provisions on the execution of imprisonment. Brottspåföljdsmyndigheten is responsible for prison execution, each prison enforcement region must have an assessment centre and prisons, and a separate nationwide unit handles sentence execution. Prison healthcare is handled by the prisoner healthcare unit under the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare. The director of an assessment centre, or a designated deputy, decides on postponement and revocation of certain prison-sentence postponements. An enforcement officer decides on postponement and revocation of postponement of conversion punishment for fines. Certain prison and prison-health officials may decide where a prisoner is placed, whether to separate a prisoner on request, and whether to admit or discharge a prisoner from the hospital unit. The prison healthcare unit is responsible for organizing healthcare and medical rehabilitation for prisoners’ medical needs, and the prison enforcement authority must ensure prisoners have access to that care.
