He noted that the internal regulations (IR) require convicts and defendants to maintain a short haircut, but conducting such a procedure twice a week is unacceptable. Atambaev emphasized that ordinary staff are not responsible for these rules, but are forced to enforce them.
In addition, the deputy mentioned his recent visit to SIZO-1, where, according to him, three meals a day are provided for inmates, but there are no stoves or heating devices.
He called for this issue to be resolved and added that the timely provision of soap and washing facilities for personal hygiene is also an important aspect.
In response, the Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers Adylbek Kasymaliev promised to discuss the raised issues with the head of the State Penitentiary Service.
