Prisoners in Ukraine were officially allowed to use telephones and the Internet. About this рассказал Minister of Justice Denys Malyuska is on Facebook.
"The service is paid, but it's definitely better than a contraband phone. All conversations will be recorded, so there will be no "Privatbank call centers". Meet in all pre-trial detention centers of Ukraine — pay phones and pay internet," said Malyuska.
According to him, 15 minutes of conversation will cost 10 hryvnias, telephone calls will cost 345 hryvnias per month, and 575 hryvnias will be charged for using the Internet (tablet) during the month.
He also added that these innovations give prisoners the opportunity to communicate with their relatives, which is important for resocialization, remove corruption on "contraband" phones, ensure the observance of human rights and reduce the demand for physical dates, which is important in view of the fight against the pandemic.
In addition, the money received for these services will replenish the special fund and will be spent on the repair of penitentiary institutions.
Meanwhile, Odessa law enforcement officers exposed the fraudster from the pre-trial detention center. A man arrested on suspicion of robbery started selling non-existent household appliances directly from the pre-trial detention center with the help of a mobile phone.
He published ads and asked buyers to send an advance payment. True, he listed 500 hryvnias for the air, the three victims turned in the police.
Now three more years will be added to the man's previous sentence.
