11am – 11.45am EDT, 25 October 2022 ‐ 45 mins

Parallel Workshops

This presentation describes the digitalization process of inmate services during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Nordic countries. We describe the new systems implemented in Sweden and Finland as well as their preliminary effects and feedback. These systems include the Smart Prison system implemented in Finland and tablet solutions implemented in Sweden. These solutions include further digitalization efforts such as providing prisoners with access to smart systems, such as digital services for use inside and outside prison. Based on the preliminary results of these implementations, we also present future digitalization strategies regarding inmate services such as Digital Prison of Future in Sweden and the Artificial Intelligence based ‘RISE AI’ solution for the offender management system in Finland. We will also present a vision for collaboration between Sweden and Finland in using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cross-border offender management as a collaborative effort.
