Two penal colonies will be closed in the Krasnoyarsk region of Russia, as almost all prisoners were sent to the war against Ukraine.

In the Krasnoyarsk region of the Russian Federation, two penitentiary labor institutions will be closed in the near future. This is due to the fact that almost all prisoners were sent to the war against Ukraine. This is reported by The Insider, according to UNN.

Details

It is noted that the Russian Ombudsman Mark Denisov boasted that the number of complaints about the work of colonies in the region decreased by exactly a quarter compared to 2022. However, this is due to the fact that there are fewer prisoners, all of whom were sent to the war in Ukraine.

A one-time large reduction in the number of prisoners in the "SVO" prompted some to report to the top about the need to close penitentiary institutions in Russia in order to optimize and save money. These institutions will be closed this year in our region as well,

- Denisov said.

However, he suggested that the closure of the colonies is a temporary phenomenon, and that they will eventually have to be reopened. He added that "the war will end sooner or later and everything will return to its place, because the social structure of society has not changed.
