International visitors and foreign media

Do you want to contact a prisoner? You can find instructions for contacting a prisoner under the heading Contact a prisoner . Each prison has specific instructions for visiting prisoners, which can be found in the contact information of the units .

At the moment, the Prison and Probation Service of Finland does not in general allow people or groups to enter prison premises for the sole purpose of visiting the premises. We want to ensure that the prison staff can work in peace as the number of prisoners is currently so high.
