Convicted in penal colonies may be allowed to live with family

Corresponding changes are proposed to be made to part 6 of Article 60.4 of the Criminal Executive Code of the Russian Federation (the procedure for serving forced labor) and subparagraph b of part 1 of Article 129 of the Criminal Code (conditions for serving imprisonment in colonies-settlements). The new measure is proposed to extend to convicts who did not violate the internal order and served at least one third of the sentence. In order to claim the right to live with the family, convicts should also not have penalties. The explanatory note to the initiative notes that it is aimed at maintaining family ties. If adopted, the law will enter into force six months after the date of publication. Earlier, State Duma deputy from the New People party Georgy Arapov proposed allowing prisoners with exemplary behavior to have pets.
