The trade unions representing prison staff have announced a strike in Vantaa Prison and Hämeenlinna Prison on 15–16 April 2025. The strike is linked to ongoing negotiations for a collective agreement for public officials in central government. If the strike starts, the prison activities will be restricted.

As a result of the ex-post evaluation of the previous organisation reform carried out in the Prison and Probation Service, the number of prison and probation centres will decrease from eleven to seven. This means that some of the prison and probation centres and probation offices will be merged. New directors and heads of units have been appointed, and the reassignment of all officials affected by the change has been completed.

Pori Branch Office of Southwest Probation Office will move to Pori Joint Service Point on 1 January 2025. The new address will be Yrjönkatu 6, 28100 Pori. The address is the same for both visitors and post.

The latest statistical yearbook of the Prison and Probation Service has been published. The statistics of 2023 include, among other things, the lengths of the sentence terms, the most common offences and the trends affecting the number of prisoners and probation clients.
