Semey probation service provided social assistance to convicted person 03.04.2026
A 38-year-old resident of Semey evaded paying alimony. As a result, a large-scale debt accumulated, and by a court decision, he was sentenced to one year of restriction of liberty and was assigned one hundred hours of community service each year for the duration of his sentence. The convict was registered with the probation service of the Zaton district of Semey. During the registration, educational and explanatory work was carried out with him. During the conversation, he said that he has health problems, does not have an identity card and registration at his place of residence, and also needs legal assistance to arrange inherited housing after the death of his parents. - After the divorce, I started drinking. At that time, living with your desires seemed more important than family, work, and responsibility. I didn't think about my son or about tomorrow. And when I applied, it was too late: my health deteriorated, my documents were missing, I was left without a job, I was forced to be homeless after the death of my parents. Today I realize that I ruined my life with my own hands. If it hadn't been for the help of the probation staff, I probably would have reached a radical dead end. Now I have the opportunity to fix everything — get a job, pay off my child support debt, and regain the trust of my child and family. I will do my best to make them forgive me," the convict shared. - Our main task is not only to control the convicts, but also to provide them with real assistance in social adaptation. In this case, the person found himself in a difficult life situation without documents, housing and work. We helped him recover the lost documents, register and get legal advice. This will allow him to get a job, start paying child support and return to a normal life. Such examples show that probation is not just a punishment, but an opportunity to improve," commented the deputy head of the probation service of the Zaton district, G. The family of Erik Userbaev. The work of the probation service is aimed at returning convicted citizens to society as law-abiding persons, restoring social ties and fulfilling duties to the family and the state.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/duisabai/press/news/details/1193823?lang=kk

In the penitentiary institution in the Abai region, the convict hugged his son for the first time during the years of separation. 03.04.2026
An open day for relatives of convicts was held at the secondary security institution of the DUIS in the Abai region. Such events have been held for many years, and the administration of the institution pays special attention to their organization, since maintaining socially useful ties is one of the key factors on the way to correcting convicts. On this day, the institution was visited by more than forty relatives, including four children. For many families, this has become a long-awaited opportunity to see their sons and husbands, communicate with them personally, and also get acquainted with the conditions in which they are serving their sentences. In addition, the relatives were able to ask the administration representatives the questions they were concerned about and get detailed answers to them. The open day has become one of the most touching and joyful events for the convicts and their loved ones. Many have not seen each other for years, and this meeting gave them vivid emotions, support and faith in the future. — Six years ago, I was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for a crime I committed. During this time, my life here went on as usual, and my son was born outside the walls of the institution. He turned five today, and all these years I've only seen him in photos and via video. This is the first day when I was able to hug my child, look into his eyes and personally say, "Happy birthday, son." To hold him in my arms, to feel his warmth and smile is impossible to put into words. I promised myself and him that after we were released, we would always celebrate this day together. I am eternally grateful to my wife, who has been supporting me all these years, raising our son alone and doing everything so that he remembers his father," the convict shared. — Open days are an important part of educational work. They help convicts keep in touch with their families, feel the support of their loved ones, and think about their future once again. It is important for us that relatives see the conditions of detention and understand that the main goal of our work is to correct a person and return him to society," said Zhasulan Arinov, deputy head of the institution.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/duisabai/press/news/details/1193807?lang=kk

They will detain you anyway, and as a result you will end up in the place where they once tried to transfer prohibited funds," the convict shared. — Every attempt to transfer is a direct threat to the security of the institution. Thanks to the professionalism and vigilance of the staff, such crimes are detected and suppressed in a timely manner. Perimeter security is carried out around the clock.
