luovutuslaitokselle

Luovutuslaitos refers to a facility or institution in Finland that is responsible for the transfer or handing over of individuals or items. This term can be broadly applied to various contexts, but it most commonly relates to the criminal justice system.

In the context of corrections, a luovutuslaitos is a prison or a designated unit within a prison where individuals are held before being transferred to another correctional facility, for example, due to overcrowding, security reasons, or to serve a sentence in a different jurisdiction. It can also refer to a place where prisoners are handed over to authorities from other countries under extradition agreements.

Beyond the correctional system, the term might be used in other legal or administrative settings where a formal transfer of custody or property takes place. For instance, it could relate to the transfer of minors to foster care or the handover of seized goods to relevant authorities. The specific function of a luovutuslaitos is determined by the governing legislation and the agency operating it. The underlying principle is always the secure and official transfer of an individual or object from one party to another.
