         A surprise for the psychologist was made by convicted medium-security institutions in the Abai region.               The work of psychologists is very important in correctional institutions, they are the ones who work with convicts from the moment they are admitted until they are released. Psychologists are the first to learn about the convict's character and his inclinations. Many of them, having lost their freedom, lose faith in people, connection with their relatives and find themselves in a depressed state.           Nazgul Shakarimova began her work as a psychologist in 2013 at the institution OV-156/19 DUIS in East Kazakhstan region. Now she works at the institution No. 20 DUIS in the Abai region. So, arriving at the next appointment, the employee was pleasantly surprised when, upon entering the office, she was greeted by convicts with flowers and a gift made with her own hands.           — I was 25 years old when I was convicted. A young wife and two small children stayed at home. When I arrived here, I wanted to divorce my wife, I did not believe that a young, beautiful woman would be waiting for me. The administration of the institution offered me to go to work, they said that this way I could help my loved ones and pay for lawsuits against the verdict, but I had no desire. I didn't see the point. Talking with Nazgul Altayevna, I began to understand the meaning of life and that I am the blacksmith of my happiness. Now I'm doing what I love, my wife is constantly visiting me, I'm getting released soon and I believe that I will have the best life," one of the convicts shared.            In such institutions, many convicts have similar fates. And Nazgul Shakarimova's work helps them find a way out of depression and cope with difficulties.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/duisabai/press/news/details/1021726?lang=kk

Two sons, 13 and 10 years old, are waiting for me at home. After my incarceration, my mother took custody of the children, and she has been raising the children for five years now. She brings them to see me every time, and supports me in every way.
