For the first time, a demonstration event was held in the Department of the Penal Enforcement System of the North Kazakhstan Region, at which prohibited items and ways of bringing them into the territory of institutions were presented. The employees of the security departments specially made dummies for a good example. Before the event, Daniyar Kharipov, Deputy head of the Department of the Penal Enforcement System for North Kazakhstan Region, made an introductory speech, and a video clip with exclusive video materials of the seizure and attempts to transfer prohibited items was also shown. Information was provided on the number of facts of preventing attempts to smuggle in 2022 and, using the example of dummies, clever ways of hiding prohibited items in various ways are clearly shown.
The most common prohibited items that people are trying to bring into institutions are money, alcoholic beverages, narcotic and psychotropic substances and their analogues, piercing and cutting objects, as well as mobile communication devices. Their receipt is carried out in the following ways: transfer over the main fence; carrying through the checkpoint in disguise; hiding in parcels, transfers, parcels, letters; transportation in vehicles; as well as carrying in the rectum.
In 2022, a number of prohibited items were seized in subordinate institutions of the Department of the Penal Enforcement System of the North Kazakhstan Region, namely:
Cash in the total amount of 33375 tenge, 2 facts of the seizure of alcoholic beverages with a total volume of 3.45 liters, 51 facts of the seizure of mobile communications - a total of 89 units, 5 facts of the seizure of narcotic substances marijuana, extraction opium, hashish and mephedrone.
According to the results of 2022, civilians were not brought to criminal responsibility, 14 civilians were brought to administrative responsibility under article 481 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Kazakhstan, 2 fines and 12 warnings were imposed.
At the moment, work is underway in all subordinate institutions to install modern X-ray television installations with advanced functionality. X-ray television inspection installations are used to carry out X-ray television control, detect prohibited items and prevent attempts to carry them on the territory of the institution. The X-ray television installation uses X-ray radiation to search for dangerous substances.
"Citizens do not realize that by trying to transfer items prohibited by the rules to convicts, they seriously aggravate the situation of convicts, since in accordance with subparagraph 3 of paragraph 2 of article 130 of the Penal Enforcement Code, the storage and transfer of prohibited items is a malicious violation of the established procedure for serving a sentence. The transfer of prohibited items by civilians entails administrative responsibility in accordance with article 481 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Republic of Kazakhstan and is punishable by a warning or fine in the amount of ten monthly calculation indices",- the senior operative of the department of regime and supervision Daulet Imambayev notes.
According to the penal enforcement legislation, convicts have the right to receive parcels, transfers and parcels from relatives. All of them are subjected to a thorough inspection in order to prevent the entry of prohibited items into institutions.
Despite the ongoing preventive work, convicts and civilians are finding increasingly sophisticated ways to disguise prohibited items. At the same time, the staff of the institution uses modern technologies to prevent such facts.
