He was previously sentenced to nine years in prison. While in the institution, the man began studying at the Polytechnic College at the institution in a working specialty.After school, I went to Semey University, but dropped out in my final year. I tried to earn money by working at various jobs, but I still didn't have enough money. At some point, he made the wrong choice and started distributing drugs, for which he ended up in prison. Now, being here, I decided to get a job and change my life. I am studying to become a welder in order to earn an honest living after my release. Winning the prize in the competition was my first achievement and proved that it is possible to move forward and set new goals and became an opportunity for me to reconsider my life priorities," the convict shared.         - The participation of convicts in professional competitions plays an important role in their re-socialization.

Semey resident sentenced to imprisonment for alimony debt of more than five million tenge 30.06.2026
      A 38-year-old resident of Semey has been evading alimony payments to his two minor children for almost seven years. As a result, the amount owed to them exceeded five million tenge.            By a court decision, the man was found guilty and sentenced to one year of restriction of liberty with compulsory outpatient supervision and treatment for alcohol dependence.             The convict was registered with the probation service of the Central District of Semey. Upon registration, the order and conditions of serving his sentence, as well as the consequences of their violation, were explained to him.              Despite the ongoing preventive work, the man repeatedly violated the established restrictions: he did not appear for mandatory registration with the probation service and left his place of residence at night without permission, for which the restriction of freedom was replaced by imprisonment for a period of eleven months.                       - Nine years ago, I started a family. When my son was born and my daughter was born a year later, I was supposed to be a support and an example for them. But instead, I left the house more and more often to visit friends, and then I started drinking alone. Back then, I didn't notice how my family was crumbling. All this time, my wife was dragging down the house and the children, and I was only ruining our lives. In the end, she couldn't stand it and filed for divorce.             When I was prescribed restriction of freedom and treatment for alcoholism, I had a chance to change everything. I promised myself I wouldn't drink anymore, but I broke down every time. Now I realize that I have lost the most precious thing — my family and the trust of my children. Having lost my freedom, I finally realized what my mistakes had led to. I really want to find my children and do everything possible so that they can forgive me someday," the convict shared.          Convicted persons who are registered are given the opportunity to improve without isolation from society. The Probation Service conducts preventive and explanatory work with convicts, provides assistance in finding employment and treatment. Restriction of freedom is a chance for a person to change his life and fulfill his duties to his family. However, in case of systematic violations of the conditions of serving a sentence, the court decides to commute the punishment to imprisonment, compliance with the conditions of punishment and fulfillment of parental duties is not only a requirement of the law, but also an opportunity for a person to change his life and save the future of his children," said Yerzhan Espolatov, head of the probation service of the Central District of Semey.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/duisabai/press/news/details/1230778?lang=ru

After almost three years of separation: a convict in the Abai region saw her children for the first time via video link 30.06.2026
       A video call with her children, whom she had not seen for almost three years, was organized for the convict at the minimum security institution of the penal enforcement system in the Abai region.           A 35-year-old resident of Astana is serving a sentence for fraud. The court sentenced her to four years in prison. Previously, the woman was in the penal colony for women in the Abai region, where she actively participated in the public life of the institution, took part in events and proved herself on the positive side. For her exemplary behavior, she was transferred to a minimum security facility for further punishment.             During a conversation with the staff of the institution, the woman said that she has two children— daughters aged eight and five. The most difficult ordeal for her was the long separation from them.       When I got here, the hardest thing for me was realizing that I was no longer with my children. All this time, I communicated with them only by payphone and tried not to let them see me within the walls of the institution. I thought it would be easier for them that way. Now they think I'm on a long business trip. During the separation, the children have matured a lot. My eldest daughter went to school, which was an important event that I couldn't take part in.  I was very worried about this. This is a special moment for any mom. All this time, I've only seen my children grow up from the photos my family gave me. I looked at them over and over again and imagined them talking to me, laughing and hugging me," she said.                 The staff of the institution decided to support the convict and organized a video call with the children for her. When her daughters' faces appeared on the screen, she couldn't hold back her tears.           When I saw them on the screen, it just took my breath away. They've grown so much… I looked at them and couldn't believe that I was finally seeing their eyes, their smiles. We didn't talk for very long, but for me it was the most precious moments in recent years. It is my love for children that helps me not to give up and believe that after liberation we will be able to start life anew, soon I will return to them and do everything to never let them down again. This meeting gave me great strength and hope," the convict shared.          Maintaining family ties is an important part of the process of convict correction. Family support plays a huge role in everyone's life, especially for those who find themselves in prison. Such hangouts help convicts not to lose touch with their loved ones, provide emotional support and become a strong motivation for correction and return to normal life after release. Such hangouts help convicts to keep in touch with their family and support their desire for correction. According to the staff, the support of loved ones plays an important role in the process of re—socialization and the return of a person to a law-abiding life," said Rustem Berlibekov, deputy head of the institution.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/duisabai/press/news/details/1230789?lang=ru
