– Marriage in institutions is not a rare phenomenon. In many cases, a marriage concluded in places of deprivation of liberty has a positive impact on convicts. They stimulate the discipline of the convicted person for early release, – the head of the DIS for the North Kazakhstan Region, Colonel of Justice Rustan Akhmetzhanov.
In 2022, 4 marriages among convicts were concluded in Institutions of the North Kazakhstan region, the first in a women's colony this year.
