The heads of the penitentiary services spoke primarily about the current situation in the world in regard to the spreading of the COVID-19 infection and about measures taken in correctional facilities and pre-trial detention centers to protect employees and detainees from this dangerous disease.

Mr. Kalashnikov pointed out that the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia has organized round-the-clock monitoring and control over the epidemiological situation in the institutions and territorial bodies of the FPS. A set of necessary sanitary, anti-epidemic and preventive measures is being implemented.

To the date, no cases of new coronavirus infection among suspects, accused, and convicts have been reported in the FPS’s facilities.

Alexander Kalashnikov and Ronald Gramigna agreed to carry out further consultations on the prevention of the spread of the disease in correctional facilities and pre-trial detention centers.

Cooperation between Russia and Switzerland in the field of the enforcement of criminal sentences has been ongoing since 1997. Currently, cooperation between penitentiary services is carried out in the field of experience exchange in the execution of sentences not related to the isolation from society, including the use of electronic means of control, the study of treatment and rehabilitation programs in correctional facilities for people suffering from socially significant diseases, and the participation of civil society institutions in the monitoring of human rights in penitentiary system facilities. In addition, Russia and Switzerland have been holding a good tradition of the international chess tournament between convicted juveniles serving their sentences of imprisonment. The tournament is held in videoconferencing format.
