The Swedish Prison and Probation Service is growing – we are building new, renovating, and expanding, and we are now looking for more employees. Our most important goal is to reduce recidivism – to break the vicious cycle. If we succeed, society becomes safer and more secure for everyone. We are the authority responsible for prisons, probation, detention centers, and client transports.

Fosie Prison is located on the outskirts of Malmö and was built in 1986. Fosie is a security class 2 prison with room for 173 men, where approximately 300 employees and 10 managers manage, lead, and develop the operations. The operations are constantly changing and have been expanded several times over the years, including by establishing places for particularly resource-intensive inmates (SRI) and through a new modular building that was completed in 2023.
