The Seimas Ombudsman initiated the investigation into the fundamental human rights problems in the area of state social insurance regulation of the working convicts and assessed whether the current legal regulation, when the time spent by the convicted serving imprisonment sentences working in prison institutions is not included in the length of service necessary in order to receive benefits in these types of social insurance provided for in the Law on Unemployment Social Insurance and the Law on Social Insurance Pensions, proportionately restricts the right of the convicted to accumulate the length of service and whether such restriction is in compliance with the country’s penal enforcement policy objectives (for more information about the investigation see page 24).
