Russian Federation hosted a meeting of the Sustainable Development and ESG Committee of the Managers Association on the topic "Russian Business and Convict Labor: Ethics, Benefits, and Risks". During the discussion, the speakers raised the issue of the possibility of involving prisoners in intellectual work in the digital sector.

Vladimir Rodionov, Head of the bulgaria whatsapp resource Department for the Organization of Industrial Activity and Labor Adaptation of Convicts of the Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) of Russia, named the most famous case of involving prisoners in computer work. "We had a story with Sber, when computers were installed in the colony. Convicts worked on them and helped to recognize documents from their scans in cases where the program failed to do so," Vladimir Rodionov explained.

In 2020, Sber began to involve citizens sentenced to correctional labor in document management tasks. This was a joint project with the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, the pilot of which was launched in Novosibirsk in only one colony. It was not scaled up later. Until now, this is the only major example of the use of such a practice.

that there have been multiple attempts to resume this type of work: "There have been requests from various corporations, but it has never been implemented. Large companies have approached us - in particular, Rostec. But given the restrictions for convicts on working with computers and the Internet, it is still very difficult to implement this. Although we still keep the idea in mind."

Representatives of the Rostec press service did not answer questions from a ComNews correspondent regarding the practice of using convict labor.

A lawyer who wished to remain anonymous clarified the issue of restrictions on working with a computer and the Internet: "If we take into account those sentenced to forced labor, then they have the right to use mobile communications and communication devices, laptops, electronic media and storage devices, the Internet information and telecommunications network, but at their own expense. However, those sentenced to imprisonment who are involved in paid labor on the territory of a correctional institution, under the supervision of the colony administration, are allowed to use electronic computers and other computer and office equipment in the production process and for their intended purpose, but without access to the Internet."
