About 150 convicts are currently serving their sentences in the minimum security facility of the penal enforcement system in the Abai region. Of these, more than 130 people are employed both on the territory of the institution and outside it.

           The convicts are involved in enterprises of various forms of ownership, including a republican state-owned enterprise, four limited liability partnerships and two individual businesses. A significant part of those employed work in Semey Tazalyk LLP and Zelenstroy, taking part in the improvement and sanitary cleaning of the city.

             Employment is an important element of the process of re-socialization. It helps convicts develop discipline, responsibility, and professional skills necessary for successful adaptation to society after release.

             - Ensuring the employment of convicts remains one of the priority areas of work. We strive to involve convicts in their work activities as much as possible. This not only allows them to acquire useful skills and experience, but also contributes to the formation of law-abiding behavior. The work helps them feel their importance and makes the process of returning to society more successful," said Dauren Bugilbayev, Deputy head of the institution.,

          - Work gives you the opportunity not only to take your time usefully, but also to feel like a part of society. We receive salaries, from which we pay for court-ordered lawsuits, as well as help our loved ones. This motivates us to change and move forward," the convict shared.

             In the future, the institution plans to expand cooperation with enterprises in the region, which will increase the number of jobs and improve the effectiveness of social adaptation of convicts.
