The administrative court dismissed the prisoner's request for income support to purchase cycling equipment. Although the prisoner earned 273 marks monthly in prison and argued for funds for leisure activities, the lower court found he already possessed sufficient means. The court ruled that since the prisoner received work wages, he was ineligible for additional income support for recreational expenses under the relevant social welfare and prison administration laws.

Tutkintavangin oikeus saada toimeentulotukea urheiluasusteiden hankkimiseen.

Tutkintavankeudessa ollut P vaati toimeentulotukea vapaa-aikanaan tarvitsemansa lenkkeilyasun hankkimiseen. Vankilassa hänellä oli työtuloa 273 markkaa kuukaudessa. Lääninoikeus totesi, että vankeinhoitolaitos on velvollinen antamaan vangille tarpeellisen toimeentulon, minkä lisäksi vangilla oli oikeus saada kohtuulliset käyttövarat. Ellei vanki saa vankeinhoitolaitokselta työrahaa tai käyttörahaa, on sosiaalilautakunta velvollinen antamaan toimeentulotukea käytettäväksi muun muassa virkistys- ja harrastusmenoihin kuten urheiluasusteisiin ja kun otettiin huomioon P:n työtulon määrä, hänellä ei ollut oikeutta saada toimeentulotukea käyttövaroihin.
