For drug possession, the miner was sentenced to 80 hours of community service

Article 39 of the Criminal Code defines the types of punishment that can be applied to persons who have committed crimes. There are ten main types of punishment and two additional ones. Involvement in community service refers to the main types of punishment. This type of punishment was received by a resident of Rudny N.Z. for keeping a bag of marijuana with no purpose of sale, which he found near the entrance. The Rudny city Court sentenced him to 80 hours of community service. The duration of work is no more than 4 hours a day. Community service is a punishment in which a person has the opportunity to atone for his guilt before society and the state with his work, without losing his job, familiar surroundings, and family. Unlike correctional labor, a person sentenced to community service is serving a sentence, that is, he works in his free time from work or study. Community service should be served only on a free basis, that is, they should be free not only for the convicted person, but also for the employer. Involvement in community service may become a common type of criminal punishment, an alternative to imprisonment for crimes of minor and moderate severity or negligence, provided that the paid basis for their execution for employers' organizations is canceled.
