At Facility No. 43 (settlement colony), under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Penal Correction System for the Mangystau Region, a sports and cultural event was organized among inmates in honor of the National Games Day.

The purpose of the event was to promote the traditional national games of the Kazakh people, effectively organize inmates' leisure time, and foster a healthy lifestyle.

The inmates competed in traditional games passed down from their ancestors, such as tug of war, asyk atu (a traditional game with sheep knucklebones), and togyzqumalaq (a Kazakh board game). The competition was intense and highly engaging.

Based on the results, the winners were awarded by the head of the facility, Colonel of Justice Sansyzbai Aminov, who presented letters of appreciation and commemorative gifts to those who placed first, second, and third.

According to the facility's administration, such events have a positive impact on the spiritual and cultural development of inmates and contribute to their reintegration into society.
