Now SIZO-2 contains 2 teenagers and 9 women – four of whom have minor children. The status of each of them is under the constant control of the Mediator.

“Despite the fact that no comments were found, and that the conditions, in general, are satisfactory for the institutions of the penitentiary system, the impressions remain particular, and there is only one conclusion: you do not advise nor wish anyone!” – pointed out Natalia Sokolova.
