Supreme Court allows continued detention for violent crime where rehabilitation prospects are deemed insufficient by the parole board.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the continued detention of a prisoner convicted of violent crimes, rejecting the parole board's recommendation for release. The parole board argued the prisoner had shown rehabilitation, but the court found the nature of the violence and lack of concrete rehabilitation steps justified continued security measures. Consequently, the court ruled that the statutory conditions for granting continued detention were met despite the parole board's contrary assessment.
