A greenhouse was opened in the women's colony of the Abai region. The convicts will grow cucumbers, tomatoes and herbs here. The grown products are planned to be sold to retail outlets.

          To date, five convicts are working in the greenhouse, but five more people are expected to be employed next month. Prisoners' wages are piecework.

         The first thing that was planted in the greenhouse were the tulip buds.

           On average, it took about two months for the flowers to germinate. Each of the women was worried about her flowers, and sometimes she thought, "What if they don't grow?" But everything went well, and on the appointed date, parcels with tulips were sent to the following addresses.

           "I'm serving a sentence for murder." Two sons, 13 and 10 years old, are waiting for me at home. After my incarceration, my mother took custody of the children, and she has been raising the children for five years now. She brings them to see me every time, and supports me in every way. On the eve of the celebration, we decided to please our mothers, because it is pleasant for every woman of any age to receive flowers. Especially if the flowers are grown by hand," the convict shared.

           In total, the institution has five sole proprietors: two sewing shops, a pastry shop, a bakery and a dumpling shop.
