About
Correctional cartography for Sweden, compiled in 2023, provides a detailed listing of the nation’s prison infrastructure. This dataset offers precise geographical locations via coordinates, along with key operational statistics, such as the maximum capacity of each facility. It serves as an essential resource for those studying public administration, social sciences, and spatial justice within the Nordic region. The information is derived from official national correctional services records.
