A modern system of Jas Tarlan payphone cards has been introduced in the maximum security institution of the Penal correction System in the Abai region, which allows convicts to keep in touch with relatives and friends in accordance with the requirements of the penal enforcement legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

         The new system has greatly simplified the process of using telephone communication. Now relatives of convicts can remotely replenish the balance of a payphone card, and its owners can independently control the balance of funds and view the transaction history through an electronic service.

         The Jas Tarlan payphone card is a modern digital tool designed for telephone communication in institutions of the penitentiary system. The service ensures transparency of financial transactions, eliminates the need to transfer cash and allows relatives to replenish the card account at any time without visiting the institution in person.

            — The introduction of modern digital solutions is aimed at improving the quality of services provided. Creating comfortable and transparent conditions for maintaining socially useful relationships is one of the important tasks of the penal system. The use of modern services makes it possible to make the telephone communication process more convenient for both convicts and their relatives," said the head of the institution, Aydin Kalelov.

         — I come from Almaty. Only my mother is waiting for me at home, she is 76 years old. Due to her age and long distance, she cannot often come to me for long dates, so telephone communication is very important for us. Now mom can remotely replenish my card balance, and we have the opportunity to communicate much more often. It's very convenient for our family," the convict shared.

           The introduction of the Jas Tarlan system has become another step in the digitalization of penal institutions. The new technology contributes to the creation of more convenient, open and modern conditions for maintaining socially useful relationships between convicts and their loved ones, which is one of the important factors of their social adaptation and successful re-socialization.
