FSIN Replaces Prisons with Forced Labor Centers
The Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) is expanding a network of correctional centers for those sentenced to forced labor, replacing traditional prisons. These centers, which are more profitable for both the FSIN and businesses, offer a guaranteed and nearly rights-free workforce.
Consensus
- The Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN), while reducing prison populations due to prisoner mobilization for war, is expanding correctional centers for those sentenced to forced labor.
- By the end of 2025, 400 new correctional centers with a capacity of 50,000 places were created in Russia.
- In June, the FSIN presented a prototype of a fast-buildable center for 200 people that can be installed directly at enterprises.
- The new system is considered more profitable for both the FSIN and business.
- Businesses gain access to a guaranteed and nearly rights-free labor force through these centers.
Points of divergence
- The prototype center was presented in June 2026, not June of the current year. — tg_svobodnieslova
