The head of the Federal Penitentiary Service for Chechnya, Akhmed Adayev, reported to the head of the region, Ramzan Kadyrov, on the agency's work. He reported that more than 570 prisoners in penal colonies have signed contracts with the Ministry of Defense. Adayev noted that Chechnya leads among Russian regions in this indicator.

During the meeting, Adayev also presented information on social adaptation and employment measures for 186 released prisoners. The FSIN head emphasized that Chechen prisons offer opportunities to obtain secondary vocational and higher education, as well as employment in 70 different specialties.
