Abstract
Smart Prison is based on a new prison concept: ‘prison as a learning environment for a life without crime’, which is supported by digital services from a personal cell device. Finland’s first Smart Prison was implemented in one prison in 2021. The cell devices include software for inside prison communication and management and a limited access to outside rehabilitative services via web-based solutions or video calls. The preliminary feedback from staff and prisoners is promising, and the concept will now be extended to all our closed prison units. Smart Prison also includes use of Virtual Reality (VR) in rehabilitation, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) related studies, prison work, and offender management.
