On August 3, the State Service for the Execution of Criminal Punishments hosted a ZOOM video conference dedicated to international programs that, with the support of the State Penitentiary Service, we are implementing in Penitentiary Institutions. The meeting was attended by employees of Institutions and regional offices. The director of the prison mission in Ukraine, Vyacheslav Kogut, familiarized the meeting participants with the methods and principles of conducting programs, and explained how work with convicts is organized. The State Service is ready to continue supporting the implementation of the “Listen to Believe” and “Prisoner’s Way” programs in the Institutions subordinate to them.

We would like to express our gratitude to Nataliya Olehivna Rybalka, Valery Mykolaivych Kalivoshko, and Oleksiy Reshetnyak for organizing the meeting.
