In addition to cats, prisoners in Russian colonies were allowed to have birds, fish and other pets. The main thing: support them at your own expense + don’t beat them up.
This is stated in response letters (available to Mash) from the Federal Penitentiary Service and the Ministry of Justice to State Duma Deputy Georgy Arapov. They explained to him that yes, you can have animals, but there are several conditions:
1. The prisoner must maintain the furry one at his own expense.
2. To do this, he needs to obtain permission from the administration and veterinary service.
3. Do not violate 245 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (cruel treatment) – for example, do not beat the party, feed, love, and so on.
At the same time, according to paragraph 78 of the internal regulations, convicts can buy food and the like, but not a word about animal food. Such provisions have not yet been enshrined in regulations.
Back at the end of January, we wrote that several seals live in correctional centers in Yekaterinburg and Omsk with the permission of the administration as an experiment. Its essence: to help the inmates become kinder and more empathic, convinced the deputy from the “New People” Arapov. In addition, you can take tailed animals from shelters – and thereby solve the problem with homeless animals.
At the same time, the Federal Penitentiary Service quickly denied the information.
