18-year-old boy given second chance in VKO after car theft
In Ust-Kamenogorsk, an amnesty gave a second chance to an 18-year-old guy who was sentenced to 1 year of restricted freedom for car theft. Just the other day, an 18-year-old resident of Ust-Kamenogorsk, who was on probation, was released under an amnesty right in the courtroom.
At 17, perhaps not yet fully aware of the seriousness of his actions, he stole a car. The court sentenced him to 1 year of restricted freedom and placed him on probation in the Ulbinsky District of Ust-Kamenogorsk.
"This became a turning point for the young man. While on probation control, he realized the seriousness of his actions and decided to change his life," said Sholpan Kuzekpaeva, inspector of the juvenile justice group of the DUIS for VKO.
The probation inspector of the DUIS in VKO noted that the guy showed amazing responsibility. For four months, he conscientiously observed all the conditions of serving his sentence: he showed up for marks on time, did not violate the established regime. Moreover, he actively combined his studies with work, demonstrating a sincere desire to return to normal life.
"He conscientiously followed all the rules of serving his sentence. It was clear that he was determined to improve and wanted to start from scratch," said probation officer Sholpan Kuzekpaeva. And so, at the age of 18, thanks to his efforts and law-abiding behavior, he was granted amnesty.
