2024: Possible closure of colony-settlement due to absence of prisoners

On October 14, 2024, it became known that in Kamensk-Uralsky, Sverdlovsk Region, the authorities could close the colony-settlement due to the lack of prisoners. We are talking about correctional institution No. 59, in which, as of the specified date, only 15 convicts remained.

According to the Vremya Press news agency, many prisoners chose to sign a contract with the Ministry of Defense and go to serve in the zone of a special military operation. Therefore, correctional colony No. 59 was practically empty. In addition, it is noted that the number of prisoners in the maximum security colony No. 47in Kamensk-Uralsky has significantly decreased, but its closure is not being considered.

The Sverdlovsk department of the FSIN also added that the optimization of the structure of colonies in Russia began long before the SVO. In particular, up to 20 such institutions have been closed since 2010. Correctional centers in the region and in Russia are actively being created: convicts who are held in colonies and settlement colonies are mainly sent to them. Thus, the number of colonies as a whole becomes smaller, and the number of correctional centers "which did not exist at all" is increasing.[1]
