Helsinki Prison, Prison facility in Hermanninmäki, Finland
Helsinki Prison features multiple cell blocks, administrative buildings, and recreational areas spread across a secured complex in the Hermanninmäki district.
The Finnish Senate authorized the construction of Helsinki Central Prison in 1874, leading to its completion and official opening in 1881.
The prison museum displays numerous artifacts, including wall writings and personal objects that document the experiences of former inmates through exhibits.
The facility includes modern amenities, such as sports facilities and dining areas, established during renovations completed in 1998 for inmate rehabilitation.
During World War II, the prison held notable political figures, including President Risto Ryti and Prime Minister Väinö Tanner during War-responsibility trials.
