What is this procedure
Conveyance is the forced transportation of prisoners to specific colonies, camps, and prisons. Stage – the entire journey of the convicted person, from the point of departure to the place of stay.
Traveling comes with a lot of challenges. After all, trains are not known for creating favorable conditions. Problems often arise with moving all your belongings. The management of the pre-trial detention center individually makes decisions regarding the transfer of specific convicts.
Previously, the central department of the Federal Penitentiary Service in Moscow sends an order to the institution. It writes about how the situation is developing with the colonies and the free places existing in them. The distribution of those sentenced is not such a simple task, because the penalties and the crimes themselves can be different.

Now this process is not always specifically related to transfer to a colony. Other penalties may be used, depending on the decision made. After all, several other types of correctional institutions have appeared where citizens who have broken the law can be sent.

How will the implementation of the KYC platform affect the work of organizations?
After implementing the “know your customer” platform, the task of every Russian organization will be to avoid falling into the red risk zone. This threatens to completely block the organization’s accounts or limit the use of funds to a maximum extent.
Organizations will need to establish internal control over counterparties, preventing cooperation with dubious companies. Preserving its reputation will guarantee that the organization will not have problems with banking services.
If the bank reveals violations of the anti-money laundering legislation, this will reduce the risk category assigned to the organization and make it difficult to obtain banking services in the future.
Does the bank have the right to refuse to credit funds to a client’s account? The answer to this question was given by representatives of the Central Bank. You can view it in ConsultantPlus.

Preparation for the stage
You can prepare for transportation immediately after a specific sentence comes into force.
Deadlines are never announced in advance, so it is recommended to take several important actions:
- You can take bags with you whose weight does not exceed 50 kg. It is better to take care of food for the trip and seasonal clothing. Canned instant food is the most popular, and this also applies to tea with sugar. On the trains themselves, access is only provided to boiling water.
- It is not recommended to take too many things. They give you an additional heavy mattress, which you will also need to carry with you.
- It is recommended to stay close to people you know, then you have a better chance of avoiding conflict situations. There is no distribution depending on the articles and the severity of the crimes.
- Trips to the bathroom will be limited.
- A large number of cigarettes are prohibited, as are SIM cards.
- It is better to take medications with you in the required quantity to get rid of the simplest symptoms.
These are only guidelines, but they help you take care of yourself if necessary.
Colony-settlement: conditions of detention, features of the regime, norms of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation
The measures of influence required to correct the behavior of various criminals are differentiated based on the severity of the consequences of the embodied offense and the presence of intent in the actions that led to negative results.
In a situation where the living environment of a subject convicted by a sentence of a judicial authority is not favorable enough and can provoke a violation of the law during the period of a conditional form of perception of punishment, a method of influence is needed that can protect from a negative environment, but is not accompanied by significant restrictions.
It is in such situations that the justice body makes a decision to choose not just a prison, but a colony-settlement, as a place of execution of retribution in the form of deprivation of personal freedom.
General information
For those individuals who have committed a crime of minor gravity or become criminals against their will, without malicious intent or motives for causing harm to others, isolation among more vicious and embittered individuals is not acceptable. Often such individuals repent of what they did, but the combination of circumstances does not always allow the use of a conditional conviction or relief from actual punishment.
In this case, an artificial environment is required that imitates the structure of a real society, but has a limited area and is staffed with observers monitoring compliance with behavioral norms.
Such an environment makes it possible to determine the possibility of resocialization of a convicted individual without more stringent correctional procedures, his desire and possibility of peaceful coexistence with others and providing for his needs by legal means.
The following video explains what a colony settlement is:
What it is?
A type of correctional institution of the Federal Penitentiary Service, located mainly in wooded areas of the northern and eastern regions of Russia and representing buildings without fences, is called a colony-settlement.
Neglect of the protected perimeter is compensated by the remoteness of such settlements from cities and other significant settlements, representing mining cooperatives engaged primarily in felling and logging.
The colony itself is remote from the populated area associated with the logging industry, but the distance is not great and serves to nominally delimit the territory of the convict settlement.
As an element of the system of correction of criminals, settlement colonies provide the mining industry with cheap labor, since not many people agree to voluntary alienation from civilization and usually for significant monetary motivation.
Convicted individuals, who are ordered to appear in a colony to carry out punishment against them, do not have a choice, and the need to earn money with their own labor and compulsory service forces them to find employment on conditions favorable to the employer. Read below about what kind of colony-settlements there are and whether there are women’s ones.
Types of such institutions
Colonial settlements are divided into institutions for two types of prisoners, namely:
- those who committed crimes due to circumstances, through negligence or with intent, but the consequences were not above average severity;
- those sentenced to punishment in the form of correction in a colony with a strict or general regime and who, by their exemplary behavior, deserved a mitigation of the punishment.
The organizational form of colony-settlements does not change when the population serving a sentence changes, and the division itself is conditional and aims to distinguish subjects with more profound defects in the behavioral model from less malicious offenders. The next section will tell about who is serving their sentence in penal colonies.
For whom are they intended?
As a measure to correct the behavior of a criminal, a colony-settlement can be assigned if the act was not intentional, entirely due to a combination of circumstances or in defense of one’s own interests, that is, by definition, it was not intentional. People who did not intend to harm anyone's interests, in most cases, regret the consequences and the punishment towards them should be nominal, only to confirm the possibility of social coexistence.
Individuals who have committed crimes with moderate or mild consequences can be returned as full-fledged members of society after minor correction and demonstrative demonstration to them that issues can be resolved without resorting to illegal actions.
The progressive system for correcting criminal behavior patterns provides for a gradual easing of the measure of influence and an expansion of the list of privileges if the convicted person shows himself properly and demonstrates correction.
It is the colony-settlement, not counting release, that is the most attractive way of serving a sentence for prisoners from general and strict regime colonies, since it is essentially free living with minor restrictions.
Peculiarities of execution of punishment in colony settlements
The punishment, when a colony-settlement is designated as a place of serving imprisonment, is nominal in nature and is more reminiscent of a long shift at a logging plant. Restrictions on rights and freedoms take the form of testing the convicted person’s ability to function normally, without antisocial behavior or going beyond what is permitted.
Some settlers, especially those who were transferred from general or strict regime colonies, do not perceive the settlement colony as a place of isolation, due to the lack of a fenced perimeter and paramilitary guards, and willfully leave it. However, the remoteness of the settlements from large populated areas, along with the limited number of plying vehicles, complicates escapes and facilitates the search for regime violators.
Read below about the features and regime of detention in the settlement colony.
Modes
There is no formal division of the conditions of stay in a colony-settlement into regimes, however, violators of regulated norms of behavior may be subject to a ban on leaving the hostel outside working hours for up to one month.
- A dormitory is the usual form of accommodation for prisoners sentenced to serve their sentences in settlements, however, family individuals who have proven themselves well can rent housing within the boundaries of a colony or an adjacent settlement, thereby falling under the definition of a light regime of detention.
- When living outside the premises of a colony-settlement, convicted persons are required to appear at the checkpoint at least 4 times within a month and not allow behavior contrary to the rules.
What is the secret of transferring
The prison phase often takes up to several months. For the family and the convicted person, such processes can be called a real test. Relatives do not receive information regarding his health and place of imprisonment, the citizen himself is deprived of contact with the outside world.
The European Court recently decided that a person's rights are violated if he is away from home for a long time. Being in remote regions creates problems when communicating with relatives.
They try not to disseminate information about this process or use the media. The secrecy of transportation is necessary to prevent all kinds of terrorist acts.
How does convoy work?
Only convicts and those responsible for accompanying them are present in a special room. Reception is carried out one person at a time. At this moment, a search is carried out in order to, if possible, seize any items prohibited for storage.
Pre-approval is required. Messages are sent stating when and how court hearings will take place, if necessary. Invoicing is impossible if a properly executed document is missing.
At least one guard must always be present at a court hearing. Usually they rotate with each other and attend court hearings in turns.
Reference! To ensure safety, the convicted person is handcuffed only if he is not placed inside a special box. But even after moving inside, the relaxation is not applied to every citizen.
Who performs the duties of the convoy?
Usually this is done by employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service, from which entire groups of responsible persons are assembled. There is the following mandatory list:
- Dog handlers accompanied by dogs.
- Escorts. Their number depends on the number of convicts.
- Assistant chief of the convoy.
- Chiefs of the convoy.
Escort procedure
Special permits are required if we are talking about delivery to court. The document indicates all the information related to the current case and the procedure for its consideration.
The convoy always carries weapons with them to ensure maximum security.
A group of convicts gathers in the morning, then they are distributed to separate places. There are special premises for convicted persons in courts, through which citizens enter.
There is always a potential risk that a particular prisoner will be dangerous to himself and others. Therefore, increased security measures are observed . If necessary, it is possible to contact the administration. You can inform her about what is happening, about possible violations. Security measures are enhanced depending on the severity of the crimes committed. The higher they are, the more actions they take to protect the guards and people around them.
Results
At the end of 2021 - beginning of 2022, Russia plans to distribute organizations into conditional risk zones for violating anti-money laundering legislation. A unified interbank platform will be created to accumulate information about the reliability of each organization. High-risk companies are at risk of being denied banking services.
We promptly post all news of banking legislation in our “Bank” section.
