Execution of sentences in the form of forced labor will allow convicts to adapt to society, get a job, which means a stable income, and restore social and family ties. While at the center, wards have the opportunity to acquire a profession, find employment and pay off claims to victims.
If a convicted person evades punishment or is recognized as a malicious violator of the order and conditions of serving a sentence in the form of forced labor, it is replaced by imprisonment.
