The state institution “Izyaslav Correctional Colony (No. 31)” was a medium-security penal institution under the State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine, where men sentenced to imprisonment served their terms. The institution carried out criminal sentences in accordance with the requirements of the Criminal Enforcement Code of Ukraine and other regulatory acts in the field of sentence execution.

Throughout its operation, Izyaslav Correctional Colony (No. 31) ensured the isolation of convicts, their resocialisation, their involvement in socially useful labour, vocational training, and social-educational work. Like other medium-security penal institutions, it was an important component of the penitentiary system of Ukraine. The institution remained under the constant attention of the National Preventive Mechanism, the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, and international and Ukrainian human rights organisations.

During monitoring visits, the conditions of detention, the provision of the right to medical care, labour, education, social-educational work, material and living conditions, disciplinary practices, and other aspects of human rights compliance were assessed. Based on the results of these monitoring visits, the institution was provided with recommendations for improving conditions of detention, developing resocialisation programmes, ensuring proper medical care, implementing the right to work, and bringing the institution’s activities into compliance with the requirements of the Criminal Enforcement Code of Ukraine, the practice of the European Court of Human Rights, the recommendations of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT), the European Prison Rules, and other international standards in the field of human rights protection.

As part of the optimisation of the network of institutions of the State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine, the activities of the state institution “Izyaslav Correctional Colony (No. 31)” have been terminated.

At present, the institution does not conduct any activities related to the execution of criminal sentences.
