      Production is expanding in the maximum security facility of the UIS in the Abai region. A new direction has been launched in the furniture assembly and joinery workshop — the production of chairs for cafes and restaurants.          Despite the fact that the workshop has been operating for only a few months, its products are already in demand. Orders have been received from the cities of Almaty and Astana for the manufacture of chairs for cafes and restaurants.           On average, 700-800 chairs are made here per month. In addition, the workshop produces up to 1,000 items of national tableware and about 100 jewelry storage boxes.          Today, about 90 convicts work in the production hall. In the future, it is planned to increase the number of jobs to 150 people.         The remuneration of convicts is piecework and directly depends on the amount of work performed. The earned funds are used to repay the claims established by the court, and also allow convicts to provide financial assistance to their families and loved ones.             — I am 43 years old, I am a resident of Almaty. Three years ago, I was sentenced to five years in prison for theft. I am currently working in a production workshop. It is important to me that being here, I can work, earn money and help my family. My wife and three minor children are waiting for me at home. I try to work hard to support my loved ones. After my release, I want to return to my family, work and start my life anew," the convict shared.           — Today, the institution has four sole proprietors and two LLP companies. There are woodworking, sewing and furniture workshops, a beverage production workshop, as well as a new laundry soap production workshop. Despite the fact that the new production facility has been operating for only a few months, it has already managed to attract orders from Almaty and Astana. This shows the demand for manufactured products. We strive to expand production and create more jobs for convicts. This gives them the opportunity to gain work skills, have a stable income, and provide financial support to their families. In the future, we plan to increase the number of employed convicts to 150 people," said Yerkin Isabekov, head of the Department of Labor Organization of convicts.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/duisabai/press/news/details/1292922?lang=ru

        A 38-year-old resident of Semey has been evading alimony payments to his minor son for almost seven years. As a result, the total amount of debt over ten years exceeded five million tenge.          By a court decision, the man was found guilty and sentenced to one year of restriction of freedom. After the verdict came into force, the convict was registered with the probation service of the Zatonsky district of Semey.          When registering, the convicted person was explained in detail the procedure and conditions for serving the sentence, as well as the consequences of violating the restrictions established by the court. Despite the ongoing preventive work, the convict repeatedly violated the requirements of probation control: he did not appear for mandatory registration and left his place of residence at night without proper permission.         Due to systematic violations, the court decided to replace the unserved part of the punishment in the form of restriction of liberty with imprisonment for a period of seven months.                    - I have only now realized the consequences of my irresponsible attitude.  Now my son is already 15 years old. All this time, I practically did not participate in his life and did not help him the way a father should have. Previously, it seemed to me that it was possible to postpone payments and avoid responsibility, but over time it comes to the realization that the lost years can no longer be returned. The hardest part is realizing that the child grew up without my support. Today I understand that alimony is not just money, but taking care of the future of my own child. I am very sorry for my actions and would like to correct my mistakes," the convict shared.             - The convict was repeatedly given the opportunity to correct his behavior without isolation from society. Restriction of freedom is an opportunity for a person to stay in society, keep his job, maintain relationships with loved ones and prove his correction by observing the law. However, the convict systematically violated the established restrictions and ignored the requirements of the probation service. The staff repeatedly warned him about the consequences, but he did not draw the proper conclusions. In such cases, the court decides to replace the punishment with a more severe measure, evading parental duties, as well as violating the procedure for serving a sentence, entails liability provided for by law," said Yerik Userbayev, head of the probation department of the Zaton district of Semey.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/duisabai/press/news/details/1292906?lang=ru

     In the secondary security facility of the penitentiary in the Abai region, convicts employed in the workshop of applied arts and woodworking began manufacturing modular houses for temporary housing of farm workers and construction crews. Such structures are more often referred to as cabins or construction trailers in everyday life.           The first residential module was custom-made by one of the farms in the Almaty region. Five convicts with practical skills and experience in construction and woodworking took part in the implementation of the project.          The house includes all the necessary facilities for temporary accommodation: a living room, a shower room and a sanitary unit. High-quality building materials are used in the manufacture, as well as requirements for reliability and ease of use. The average production time of one such module is about one month.          -Participation in the production process allows not only to get stable employment, but also to improve professional skills that will be useful after release. I had already worked in the construction industry before, so I was happy to join this work. Here we don't just fulfill an order — we create products in demand, learn responsibility and teamwork. For me, this is an opportunity to preserve and develop professional skills so that after my release I can adapt faster and find a job," the convict shared.          - The development of production activities in correctional institutions is an important part of the social adaptation of convicts. The main task of convicts' employment is not only the organization of their working hours, but also the formation of their work skills, discipline and responsibility. Today, conditions are being created in the institution that allow convicts to master sought-after professions and apply existing experience in practice. The production of such modular houses demonstrates that the products can be competitive and in demand in the market," said Serik Zhangaskanov, Deputy head of the institution.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/duisabai/press/news/details/1292893?lang=ru

To date, about five convicts work in the workshop, but in the near future it is planned to additionally employ about 15 more people.Despite the fact that the production was launched only a few days ago, the sewing workshop has already received a large order for the manufacture of thousands of sets of baby bedding.

In the future, it is planned to expand production and launch a line for sewing women's clothing.        - Working in a sewing workshop is of special importance to him. I am glad that I work here. It so happens that my two minor children are currently in an orphanage. When I complete another order, I imagine that I am sewing for my child, so I put my whole soul into the work. For me, this is an opportunity to be useful to children and feel responsible to them," the convict shared.         - The development of production activities contributes to the social adaptation of convicts. Our task is to create conditions under which convicts can acquire work skills, acquire a profession and prepare for their return to society.
