Community Service: Points of View from Society, Business, and Government
Congress Centre, conference hall B2
On 29 April 2021 the Russian government issued order 1138-r, which gave official approval to a concept outlining the development of the penal system to the year 2030. One area of focus is the development of a network of correctional centres for those serving sentences which do not involve isolation from society. This will be done by using the property of the penal system, regional governments, and organizations. There are a number of reasons why taking such a step is necessary. When convicts suffer from a rupture in social ties, the lack of proper employment opportunities, and the influence of criminal subcultures at prisons, the recidivism rate increases. Currently it is at 44%. In addition, imprisoning convicts is more expensive to the state than keeping them at correctional centres. These centres need to have a total capacity of up to 100,000. While 182,000 convicts currently have the option of applying for imprisonment to be replaced with community service, this will only be granted to those who have shown improvement and are on the path to rehabilitation. This target is expected to be met in 2024. Convicts at correctional centres will benefit from full employment and the chance to rebuild social ties. This initiative, together with social adaptation, rehabilitation and resocialization efforts after release, will lead to a reduction in recidivism.
