Paying fines

A prisoner’s enforced fines are paid via the Prison and Probation Service. The money for the fine has to be transferred to the joint prisoner account of the Prison and Probation Service. A receipt of the transferred money meant for the fine has to be attached to an email and sent to the following address: prepaid.rise(at)om.fi.

Prisoners can also pay their fine in prison with a bank card by using the payment terminal. Bringing cash in prison is not recommended.
