1
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,000
My brother got killed.
I shot his killer in the head.

2
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:21,040
…took the knife from my pocket.
and I stabbed the guy with it in the neck.

3
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,720
Good. It’s coming. Good.

4
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,400
- Is it straight?
- Yep!

5
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,760
Drove over him with a car.

6
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,200
Shot him with a bow.

7
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,000
You should not speak
about anything too personal.

8
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,920
And use some common sense.

9
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,440
For example,
this cell block has various criminals.

10
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,360
Violent offenders, killers,

11
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,600
and a lot of drug-related criminals.

12
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,120
Good. It’s coming. Good!

13
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,640
- Is it straight?
-Yep!

14
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,520
It's like
when you say it in Finnish,

15
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,840
"C8," "messed up," kind of.

16
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,400
Everyone is waving around some real guns

17
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,760
and showing drugs in music videos,

18
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,840
so this kind of parodies that aspect.

19
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,960
I don’t claim to be
any kind of gangster or anything,

20
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,160
but even if you are one,

21
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,560
you don’t have to say it
out loud to everybody.

22
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,600
♪ At times a straight-edge life
I can't be bothered being afraid… ♪

23
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,960
What did we do to him?

24
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,360
A bit of everything.

25
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,560
But do we need
to go into details like that?

26
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,440
We took him
to my home in Tampere,

27
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,040
and then we tied him to a metallic table

28
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,400
with metal zip ties by his arms and legs.

29
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,560
We smashed his finger joints

30
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,320
and legs and feet with a hammer.

31
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,680
Drove over him with a car,

32
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,960
shot him with a bow,

33
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,920
and things like that.

34
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,040
But I think most of it
was mental violence,

35
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,440
humiliation, and subjugation.

36
00:14:55,400 --> 00:15:00,360
Maybe it was the mix
of the anger and excitement.

37
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,440
At that time,

38
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,840
it just felt like it needed to be done.

39
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,000
Is it sticking okay?

40
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,600
Sticks are fairly okay.

41
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,720
We melt
the disposable razors

42
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,560
and take the soot from it.

43
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,480
Uh, isolation.

44
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,920
I don’t think
they’ll notice I have a new tattoo.

45
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,000
It's done. Yeah.
Yep, turn the machine off.

46
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,800
Yes,
I hope he is not coming back.

47
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,360
-He has everything in good order now.
- Yeah.

48
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,960
We have a good relationship.
We speak about everything.

49
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,720
Girls, drugs, everything.

50
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,200
I don't know. It's good.
It's good to talk about it.

51
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,000
There's too much testosterone
in the section.

52
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,920
In his cell. You know.

53
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,960
- Oh, you went into his cell?
- Yeah.

54
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:46,280
Because there are cameras,
you know, everywhere.

55
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:51,840
Because he…

56
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,440
A couple of years ago, he snitched.

57
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,760
Uh, for drugs.

58
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:06,400
Yeah.

59
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,920
I can't, you know,
live with people like that.

60
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:15,080
My dogs will laugh at me
if I go home and I do nothing.

61
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,200
I don't know.

62
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:30,920
Yeah.

63
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,520
Yeah, but he has to do it.

64
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,560
-Does he?
-Yeah.

65
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,240
-The guards don't know about it though?
-No.

66
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,000
Not yet.

67
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,200
-Do you think either guy will tell them?
-I don't think so.

68
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,000
I saw it when he went
into the room with the guard.

69
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,440
I don't think he will be telling anything.

70
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:01,760
-Thank you.
-Not a problem.

71
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,960
She said put your TV on

72
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:25,440
because she’s going to update my,
you know, sports channel.

73
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,600
I'm not, like, depressed
but somehow, fuck,

74
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,040
being here in prison frustrates you
and you want to feel better.

75
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:44,040
I do go out
usually every day.

76
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,000
I don’t know.
I feel a bit restless today,

77
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,400
and I can’t stay here.

78
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,160
I ran away
from this children's home

79
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,640
and went over to Tampere,

80
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,400
where I was homeless
and doing drugs and looking for drugs.

81
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:51,000
I got into a situation at Tampere
where two around 40-year-old junkies

82
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,680
accused me of stealing their speed stash,

83
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,280
and the guy said to me

84
00:26:56,360 --> 00:26:58,680
that I had three seconds
to give the drugs back

85
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,080
or he'd smash my teeth in
with a baseball bat.

86
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,040
After that, fuck, I just kind of lost it

87
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:11,120
and took the knife from my pocket,
and I stabbed the guy with it in the neck.

88
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,880
And then the other guy came,
and fucking pushed me,

89
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,160
and held his hands someway like this,

90
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,440
then I fucking stabbed him twice,

91
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,320
like, here and here.

92
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,320
I have visited
the rehabilitation worker here

93
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,520
and psychologist,
and yes, it has helped me.

94
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,160
It's been… Damn, it's been
a long time since anyone came to visit me.

95
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,000
I don't know if I even need visits.
I'm doing well here.

96
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,160
This is a good cell block.
There is a good group here,

97
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,720
and I have friends here, and…
it's nice to be here.

98
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,480
KYLMÄKOSKI PRISON

99
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,600
Uh, 11 times in Finland,

100
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,240
six times in Sweden,

101
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,800
two times in Denmark,
and one time in Norway.

102
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,320
I have grown up
in institutions.

103
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,280
And I ended up in prison
when I was 15 years old.

104
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,560
Then my brother got killed.
So I shot his killer in the head.

105
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,120
It was revenge.

106
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:29,040
If there is a Romany family
with which there is hatred,

107
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,240
if you don't get away from that situation,
then things can go very bad.

108
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,040
And it is in these times today
when everyone has guns.

109
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,600
Then it happens so suddenly.
They try to take your life immediately.

110
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,880
And I haven’t wanted
to receive help before.

111
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,280
I used to use
so many heavy drugs in the past.

112
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,120
But now, during this sentence,

113
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,040
I have had conversations

114
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,760
with Hanna all the time.

115
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,120
Do you have
any thoughts about what kind of place

116
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,840
that rehabilitation center
should be in an ideal case?

117
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,560
A Christian substance abuse
rehab center would be the best.

118
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,160
- There would be some spirituality.
-Yes.

119
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,080
It is possible
to talk about everything with you.

120
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,840
I don’t have to lie about anything

121
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,200
or about how I feel and where I need help.

122
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,120
And I know that these conversations
are only between you and me.

123
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,600
You have a lot of influence
on the wing, right?

124
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,720
You have a lot of respect?

125
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:08,520
Normal.

126
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:15,600
You see people's eyes here
who have really small pupils, you know.

127
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:33,320
I see that this is who I am.

128
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,280
I’m how one should be.

129
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,280
I’m good to good people
and very bad to bad people.

130
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:44,720
I don’t think
I am a full-time gangster in any way.

131
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:49,480
It was just a weekend that happened,
and now I’m doing prison time for it.

132
00:39:52,240 --> 00:39:55,280
So the aim would be
that me and Olli,

133
00:39:55,360 --> 00:40:00,080
we’ve been planning a business
so we could run it.

134
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,400
I’m becoming a father in the summer.

135
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,200
And I want to be
a good dad to my children.

136
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:10,160
I want to do music
when I have time for it.

137
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,880
I do not intend to come back here.

138
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:06,600
The key point
is that we view prisoners…

139
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,520
We view human beings as human beings.

140
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,400
Our starting point is that

141
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,920
we truly try
to rehabilitate every prisoner.

142
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:21,920
So they can live their lives in society
without drugs and crime.

143
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,320
I believe that if you’re motivated
and want to be rehabilitated,

144
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,000
Kylmäkoski prison
and Finland’s prison system

145
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,680
will give you the tools
and opportunity to do it.

146
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,080
But it’s up to you. It starts with you.

147
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,120
We have had just one

148
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,640
violence counselor now for two years,

149
00:41:53,720 --> 00:41:58,080
and I would say
we need two or three more of them.

150
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:02,040
Restorative justice projects are,
in my opinion, one of the things

151
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,400
that should be brought into prisons more.

152
00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:17,800
Yes,
we can’t make this place airtight.

153
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,320
In my view, there are two main things

154
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,680
that affect this problem.

155
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,400
One is preventing supply,

156
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,880
thanks to the control work we do here.

157
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,200
And the other is preventing demand,

158
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,920
and that’s rehabilitation,
work activities,

159
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,760
giving them other things
to think about than just drugs.

160
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,120
We adhere to our values.

161
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,200
Respect for human dignity,

162
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,720
justice, faith in one’s ability
to grow and develop.

163
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,720
My belief is that many of the prisoners

164
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,600
have a sincere desire
to be drug and crime-free,

165
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,520
but it’s not easy, and it requires you
to be highly motivated.
