“In general, this is an international practice.

Another thing is that here it is necessary to make sure that the work is appreciated.

This makes it possible for a person to accumulate certain funds that he can use when he is released.

This is both a question of re-socialization, of finding on the true path of correction ... this is a question related to the replacement of foreign labor by our internal labor resources, ”the parliamentarian said.

At the same time, according to Nilov, this process must be approached "carefully and carefully", observing all labor rights of citizens.

“Of course, not all prisoners need to be immediately employed - here you need to look at what articles the person was prosecuted for and received the appropriate punishment,” the deputy also stressed.

However, Nilov recalled that to date, no initiatives on such topics have been submitted to the State Duma.

“I do not rule out that any changes to the labor legislation will be required, given the special status of persons who will be involved in work.

But I think that, in any case, this is a process that can have certain positive consequences, both for employees, for the employer, and for the state as a whole, "the parliamentarian concluded.

Earlier, the Minister of Justice of Russia Konstantin Chuichenko commented on the idea of ​​replacing labor migrants with prisoners.

In particular, the head of the department noted that he considers it right to create correctional centers at large construction sites.

On May 20, the director of the Federal Penitentiary Service Alexander Kalashnikov made a corresponding initiative.

He proposed to organize correctional centers for convicts with the right to forced labor at large facilities where there is not enough labor and migrants work.
