Bilenkivska Correctional Colony (No. 99)

The State Institution “Bilenkivska Correctional Colony (No. 99)” was part of the structure of the State Criminal-Executive Service of Ukraine and ensured the enforcement of sentences in the form of deprivation of liberty in accordance with the requirements of the criminal-executive legislation of Ukraine.

Following the start of the full-scale armed aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine, the institution found itself in a high-risk zone.

Despite the difficult security situation, the colony continued to operate, ensuring the detention of convicts and the performance of its assigned tasks.

On the night of 29 July 2025, the territory of the State Institution “Bilenkivska Correctional Colony (No. 99)” was subjected to a missile strike, as a result of which certain infrastructure facilities of the institution were destroyed. As a result of the attack, convicts were killed and injured, and significant material damage was caused.

Due to the impossibility of further safe operation of the institution and the need to ensure the right of convicts to life and safety, in 2025, the convicts were transferred to other institutions of the State Criminal-Executive Service of Ukraine.

Thus, the State Institution “Bilenkivska Correctional Colony (No. 99)” belongs to the institutions whose activities were significantly disrupted as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. Further restoration of the institution’s operation and the use of its property complex will depend on the security situation and the decisions of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine.
