On September 2, 2026, a new production facility was officially opened at Ramazan Qus LLP. The facility will provide employment and accommodation for convicts serving their sentences at Institution No. 9 of the Department of the Penitentiary System of the Aktobe Region.
The Head of State has set an important task to increase the level of employment among convicts. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to actively engage entrepreneurs and expand production opportunities within institutions of the penal enforcement system.
Employment plays an important role for convicts not only in terms of providing jobs, but also as one of the key tools for their resocialization. The opportunity to work, acquire professional skills, comply with labor discipline, and take responsibility for the results of their work helps convicts prepare for independent life after release.
The event was attended by the First Deputy Chairman of the Committee of the Penitentiary System of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, representatives of the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Deputy Akim of the Aktobe Region, the Director of the Chamber of Entrepreneurs of the Aktobe Region, the leadership of the Department of the Penitentiary System of the Aktobe Region, and representatives of Ramazan Qus LLP.
The distinctive feature of the project is that convicts are provided with the opportunity not only to work at a functioning production facility, but also to live in specially established accommodation conditions. Ramazan Qus LLP provided significant support in implementing the project by creating the necessary conditions for employment and accommodation.
In terms of its format, the new production facility represents an important step in developing the model of a minimum-security institution. Here, convicts will be able to gradually adapt to life in freedom, gain work experience, and acquire the skills necessary for their subsequent return to society.
The project is primarily aimed at resocializing convicts and preparing them for release, ensuring that their return to society is as smooth and conscious as possible.

On August 12, Colonel of Justice Kanat Kuandykovich Alpyssbayev, Deputy Head of the Department of the Penal Enforcement System of Aktobe Region, paid a working visit to Temir District.
During the visit, he met with the Akim of the district, Almas Zhaksylykuly. The parties discussed current issues related to the activities of the penal enforcement system and the probation service, as well as areas of interagency cooperation.
One of the key outcomes of the meeting was the strengthening of the material and technical resources of the district probation service. In order to create comfortable and modern working conditions for employees, the district Akimat provided new furniture, computer equipment and safes.
The modernization of the material and technical resources will enable employees to perform their official duties in modern conditions and contribute to improving the effectiveness of work with persons under probation supervision.
Today, the probation service plays an important role in the system of preventing repeated offenses. Its activities are not limited to monitoring compliance with established requirements. They also focus on the social adaptation of people who find themselves in difficult life circumstances, helping them return to a normal way of life and preventing them from committing repeated offenses.
In this regard, the support of local executive bodies and interagency cooperation are of great importance. Creating the necessary working conditions for employees directly contributes to the quality and effectiveness of their work.
The working visit to Temir District demonstrated that joint efforts by government agencies not only make it possible to promptly resolve pressing issues but also create the necessary conditions for further development of the probation service at the local level.
In turn, the leadership of the Department of the Penal Enforcement System of Aktobe Region expresses its sincere gratitude to Akim of Temir District Almas Zhaksylykuly and the staff of the district Akimat for their support, attention to the development of the probation service and assistance in creating appropriate working conditions for its employees.
