rights assumes importance in delivering of information on ill treatment. The
Commissioner is of the opinion that undertaking the measures on increasing
the control over such cases and their elimination.
Decreasing the number of persons deprived of liberty is among priority
issues of world countries. The research carried out by us and analysis of
received applications highlights the issues related the judicial practice. Thus,
paying attention to application of arrest and deprivation of liberty as the last
measure of necessity, the punishment adequate to committed crime are
among aspects requiring fundamental approach.
If to mention the Probation Service, there comes forward the importance
in functioning of a system of wide opportunities for use of alternative
punishment not related to deprivation of liberty on the prisoners and that
leads significant results. The analysis of experience of foreign countries also
shows that each year as a result of probation thousands of people sentencing
to alternative punishments stood beyond the penitentiary institutions and
this leads to saving from the state financial expenses respect. Thus, in
Kazakhstan, the expenses spent on one probationer 20 times less than the
amount spent on detention of the prisoner in the penitentiary facility.
However in general, one of the matters on need is comprehensive and
detailed analyzing the causes of committing crime, carrying out of complex
criminological researches for elimination of circumstances inveigling the
people in crime and this is of crucial importance from the prophylactics of
criminality standpoint. Training of social workers and psychologists in
institutions, as well as in the process of realization the preventive measures,
their involvement in this activity would be purposeful.
The monitoring of the NPM bring us to a result that there are still several
problems and shortcomings in involving the prisoners in the penitentiary
institutions to labor. In some cases there are difficulties in getting salary by
prisoners. Employment of prisoners assumes special importance for their
rehabilitation. The Commissioner recommends carrying out of various
projects for enjoying the labor force of prisoners in penitentiary institutions,
finding markets for selling the products manufactured by prisoners; they
should be encouraged for such kind activity.
To consider the matter of specialization of the institutions from the
manufacturing perspective within the reforms process also would be
purposeful. Thus, the sample models created in many countries in this
regard significantly contribute to correction of prisoners, perceiving labor
habits, as well as their rehabilitation and social adaptation.
The Commissioner is of the opinion that there is a huge need in
improvement of vocational training in the penitentiary institutions alongside
with secondary education from the point of view of correction of prisoners’
behavior and their preparing to inclusion into society. Also this is necessary
