The message reads, in part:
“The importance of the tasks facing the Federal Penitentiary Service requires from its employees high professional and personal qualities, integrity, and strict discipline. After all, strengthening law and order in the country and protecting every individual largely depend on you and your conscientious work.
I would like to highlight that in recent years the penitentiary system has undergone significant changes aimed at ensuring prisoners’ rights, upgrading facilities and resources, and enhancing social and living conditions in correctional institutions. The development of non-custodial penalties is being consistently pursued.
Furthermore, I extend special words of gratitude to the veterans of the Service.”
