Among the innovations and changes that have entered our country over the past thirty years is the service of providing psychological assistance to convicts. It is obvious that people who are deprived of their liberty are initially subjected to psychological collapse. Timely psychological support will help those who have been punished to find their place in society and become worthy citizens in the future.
The responsibility for such important work lies primarily with psychologists working in the Penal correction system. A person detained on suspicion of committing a crime from the first day until his release will resort to the help of these psychologists. Also, psychological assistance will continue in the system of probation services, which take control of convicted persons whose sentences of deprivation of Liberty have been replaced by those of restriction of liberty and who have been subjected to punishments not related to deprivation of Liberty.
Psychological services are well developed in all departments of the Penal correction system. Psychologists working in this field have already gained professional experience and become professionals who know their business.
Psychologists who provide psychological assistance to convicts in institutions subordinate to the Department of Criminal Enforcement in Almaty also achieve significant results in their work.
In particular, psychologists of La-155/18 institution Dzhapparova Paridam, Kenzhegulova Gulshat, Sagynysh Volga, psychologist of La-155/13 institution Shubaeva Zharkynai, psychologist of La-155/6 institution Iskakova Assel are masters of their specialty.
In addition, in the district probation services of Almaty, we can also note the work of psychologists who contribute to the return of convicts to society as useful citizens. Psychologists of the probation control service of Alatau and Auezovsky districts Abeybek Alinura and Abdibayeva Dana are well versed in their profession.
The purpose of psychologists in the probation control service is to ensure that convicts who have served their sentences and those sentenced to sentences not related to deprivation of Liberty find their rightful place in the bright life by increasing their responsibility in the family and society.
