The Swedish Prison and Probation Service is growing – we are building new facilities, renovating, and expanding, and we are now looking for more employees.

The remand prison is part of the police station located in central Borås, and the prison is situated in the Västeråsen district of Borås. Construction of a new remand prison near Borås Central Station is underway, and this new facility, Häktet Brodal, is planned to be inaugurated and put into operation in March.
