The U.S. criminal justice system shares a variety of similarities with the Finnish system. Both systems imprison and fine people who commit violent, property, public order, and organized crimes. When a person is arrested for a crime, the Finnish and U.S. system feel the loss of freedom is the major punishment for imprisonment and incapacitation. They also share the same means of using guns to transfer prisoners from one place to another. Other similarities include forms of rehabilitation (counseling programs, vocational and educational training), determinate sentences by setting the terms of imprisonment, and publics support law enforcement. However, the Finnish and U.S. criminal justice system have a lot more differences than similarities.
