Kerava prison

The prison complex maintains both closed and open imprisonment sections, with seventy percent of inmates residing in restricted areas and thirty percent in less confined spaces.

The facility evolved within the Finnish penal system to become one of twenty-eight prisons distributed across eleven regional Prison and Probation Centers throughout the country.

The institution implements educational programs, vocational training, and rehabilitation initiatives to prepare inmates for their return to society after completing their sentences.

Visitors must schedule appointments in advance and follow security protocols when entering the facility, located at Lahdentie 711 in the city of Kerava.

The prison administration combines modern correctional practices with architectural elements that earned it recognition as a Cultural Heritage Site of National Significance.
