All you need to know about the
Finland closed prison
Unlike the open prisons in Finland where prisoners take vacation, go to work and own keys to their rooms, prisoners in closed prisons are restricted and denied freedom.
The cell doors are locked during the times determined in the daily schedule. When the ward is locked, prisoners must be in their cells or in other locations marked in the checklist of prisoners.
The times when the number of prisoners is checked are specified in the daily schedule. Prisoners are obligated to close and lock the cell doors when they leave their cells.
In the prison, a visitor and an inmate are not allowed to take notes or transmit written messages without the permission of the staff.
Also, the prisoner and a visitor may not touch each other during the visit.
Ekpa's remand
Ekpa was remanded by the district court and is scheduled to face charges in May 2025.
