Needs Assessment Mission on Prison Income Generating Activities was conducted in the period of 13-19 December 2010. This mission was con-ducted in the framework of the European Union and United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime “Support to Prison Reform in the Kyrgyz Republic”. A comprehensive needs assessment was carried out to identify challenges and put forward recommendations for the development of policy and strategy for the establishment of income generating activities in prisons and programs for the social reintegration of prisoners.
For a successful result this needs assessment mission was very depended on the help from and a fruitful cooperation with many professionals in- and outside the Kyrgyz prison service.
We like to thank Mr. Sheishenbek Baizakov, Head of the State Service of Executions of Penalties of Kyrgyzstan, Mr.Erkin Abyov, Deputy Head of the Department of Execution of Punishment and Mr. Victor Nikolaevich Yako-vlev, Head of the Industrial Unit of the Prison Service of Kyrgyzstan for the their help, support, trust and hospitality.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE PRISON INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITIES IN THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC10 Chapter 1 Chapter 1
The UNODC, in partnership with the EU, launched a 3-year program, “Sup-port to Prison Reform in the Kyrgyz Republic” in January 2010. This pro-gram contains mutually reinforcing projects components, this needs as-sessments is conducted in the framework of one of its components.
The main objective of the needs assessment mission is developing policy and a program to generate additional income for prisoners and the prison service and for improving the social reintegration prospects of prisoners, and the implementation of this program in pilot prison colonies.
The results of needs assessment mission has to facilitate and support the:
• Development of small-scale income generating and vocationaltraining programs for prisoners;
• Developmentofmanagingprisonindustriestrainingprogramforprison management;
• Developmentofpolicyandstrategyforestablishmentofincomegenerating/vocational training activities in prisons;
• Launching a small-scale income generating rehabilitation pro-gram at least in 5 closed type colonies;
• Establishingamodelcolonysettlementinvolvingatleast200pris-oners generating own income;
• ExpertGrouponIncomeGenerationActivitiesthroughmethodo-logical and expert assistance.
Suggestions
The proposal should be based on economically feasible realistic business plans for the production activities whether in agriculture, food processing or non-food processing.
Economically sound business centres could contribute to the improvement of the financial situation in the Department of Execution of Punishment, thus significantly changing to the better the situation in the colonies and the prison system at a whole.
The prison system in Kyrgyzstan faces many of the challenges faced by oth-er former Soviet Union republics, which include very poor material condi-tions, difficulties faced in separating and controlling the prison population, breakdown of prison industries and lack of trained prison staff.
The situation in the colonies and settlements give little hope for major im-provements on the short term. Especially the male prison facilities are in a terrible state. There is a shortage of all kind of basic needs like proper build-ings with water supply, electricity and heating.
It is thereby highly recommended to review the Proposal on development of production in the institutions of penitentiary system within the financial support provided by the Department of Execution of Punishment as shown in chapter 3.5.
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Chapter 1 11EXECUTIVE SUMMARYChapter 1
Cleaning
There is on the other hand much what can be done to improve the cir-cumstances of living for the prisoners. First of all a general clean-up action should be undertaken. The buildings are run down and dirty, there is rub-ble everywhere. The prisoners have nothing particular to do so they could be organized in groups with the purpose of cleaning up the facility. There is a huge quantity of rubble around.
The remaining building should be inspected by a construction specialist who will decide where an investment in renovation is economically justifi-able. If the necessary machinery is available the rest of the ruined buildings should be torn down. Again this could be a major activity for the detainees. Rubble can be sold for road and dike renovation.
Cleaning and painting of the premises will have a large positive impact on all the inhabitants of the facility, staff and prisoners alike.
Stone production units
All visited colonies have a small and rather inefficient stone production unit. All of the production plants are situated in a more or less open area, some even outside a building. The production results differ enormously from the prognoses. On average only 25% of the target is met. The reason for this back fall could be start-up problems but taken all the circumstances in account a more structural problem could be the true reason, this being a lack of professional background by the responsible staff.
Training and coaching of the staff is an absolute necessity for success. The financial results, even on the modest production as realized in 2010, are such that there could be enough financial resources to finance training of staff and detainees. Besides the training, increase in payment for prisoners involved is justifiable. The production costs of the stones are modest and the profit relatively high. On the subject of income generating activities progress can be made. It is clear there are some kind of contracts made up on the stone production. A closer study on the details of these agreements will reveal the possibilities for change.
Agriculture activity
Though there are a lot of problems to be solved at the farm and also the processing level colony #26 is the most advanced in terms of livestock and its derived products. It is important that the colony management is strengthened in terms of farm management and general agricultural skills.
Introduction of proper resource planning and utilisation as well as the ap-plication of standard agricultural methods and techniques will help to in-crease yields at field as well as animal level. Equipping the farm with neces-sary equipment appropriate for a business utilising around 230 ha of land is an indispensible first step. By doing so the colony #26 could become a training centre for all other colonies involved in farm, especially livestock
TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE PRISON INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITIES IN THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC12 Chapter 1 Chapter 1
businesses on the one hand while on the other hand detainees could be trained on jobs available all over the country.
The professional utilisation of the available land of 51 ha available at colony #44 would allow the proper production of fruits and vegetables and allow the set up of a vocational training centre for products of the region and pre-pare detainees for integration in the business world without big problems.
As the region has a lot of small private businesses in this sector the training centre also could be utilised by private entrepreneurs. Proper treatment of fruit trees is an urgent need for the whole region and could be introduced through training at both, private and prison level at low costs. This would support the activities on poverty reduction in the region.
Rabbit breeding
It is recommended to analyse whether the colony #2 could start rabbit breeding.
On the one side this would allow additional diversification in the daily diet of detainees, on the other side the furs could be prepared for production of warm jackets, thus diversifying the offer from the sewing department.
Bakery
The bakery in colony #3 could be modernized and expanded. This qual-ity of this bakery could be improved vastly with an investment in better equipment. This investment opens a variety of possibilities. In charge of this bakery is a trained and skilled baker. He will be able to improve the quality of the bread and to increase the range of products. There is enough working space available for a small trainings centre to be set up, where detainees could obtain the basic skills on bakery. This training facility could than be copied and be started in other facilities.
Car repair and maintenance
The growth of the agricultural activity will bring a larger amount of vehicles, mostly trucks and tractors. At the moment the maintenance and repair is done haphazardly or by the military based in Bishkek. This maintenance and repair activity could be combined with a vocational training for a group of prisoners. The quality of some of the industrial buildings in colony #16 is such that with a modest investment a car-workshop can be set up where detain-ees will be taught and trained on maintenance-and repair of basic engines.
Textile
Settlement #2 has a flourishing textile workshop, where all kind of different cloth designs are made mostly for the Russian market. The training for the prisoners who volunteer for a job is given by more experienced fellow de-tainees. There is no professional who can teach the prisoners the advanced principles on tailoring. More complex assignments, probably more profit-able, cannot be accepted due to this lack of professional knowledge.
Chapter 1 13EXECUTIVE SUMMARYChapter 1
There are enough rooms available where a tailor training could be set up. An experienced and qualified tailor should give the training and the par-ticipants should receive a valid certificate, which will improve their chances on the labour market and support the poverty reduction.
Hairdressing
Within this colony there is a high demand for hairdressing. Like in the tai-lor-shop there is no professional available who can teach the prisoners the advanced principles on hairdressing. This training could be organized on a rather small budget and a positive conclusion the training should result in a certificate valid in the outside world.
1.1 Background of the assignment
The prison system of Kyrgyzstan faces many of the challenges faced by oth-er former Soviet Union republics, which include very poor material condi-tions, difficulties faced in separating and controlling the prison population, breakdown of prison industries and lack of trained prison staff, which cor-responds to the needs of a modern, civil prison system. Despite some ef-forts to improve its finances, the prison administration remains desperately under-funded. Violence among prisoners is a major concern. Poor pay and dangerous working conditions make it hard to attract qualified staff to the service. Provision of adequate healthcare in prisons is a serious challenge, and tuberculosis (TB) among prisoners is widespread.
The UNODC, in partnership with the EU, launched a 3-year project, “Sup-port to Prison Reform in the Kyrgyz Republic” in January 2010. The project is made up of the following mutually reinforcing key components:
• Reformofthelegal/normativebasisforprisonreformandalterna-tives to imprisonment, with focus on the provisions for the appli-cation of new, humanised criminal legislation;
• Policyandstrategydevelopmentinrelationtoprisonreform;
• Building the management capacity of the prison service, withtraining, training of trainers, development of a training curriculum and support to the training centre of the State Service of Execu-tion of Punishments (SSEP);
• Developing policy and program to generate additional incomefor the prison service and improving the social reintegration pros-pects of prisoners, and the implementation of the program in pilot prison colonies;
• Improvingthephysicalconditionsinselectedprisons,withfocuson sanitary infrastructure and facilities, which have a direct impact on prison health, thereby promoting a healthier living and work-ing environment for prisoners and staff, and contributing to the prevention of disease.

By the Law “On state budget of the Kyrgyz Republic for 2010 and forecast for 2011-2012”, the state has provided State Service of Execution of Punish-ment by KGZ 641,07 million som2, which constituted 31.21% of the esti-mated needs of KGZ 2,05 billion.3
СAs per the amendments and additions to the Act, an updated plan for the 2010 budget amounts to 760.72 million som4 or 37.04% of the estimated need. (In 2009, 28.3% of estimated need was received).
Average number of prisoners in SCs as of 01.11.2010 is estimated to 2,279 individuals, payable employed 506 prisoners including at own production – 113 prisoners, at contractor works – 372 prisoners, with logistic servicing – 21 prisoners.
KGS 3,511,1985 was earned with labour use of prisoners within the report-ing period.
An analysis of reports provided by settlement-colonies in form #11 con-cerning labour use of prisoners and individuals kept in SCs of PED has proved that good results of labour use of prisoners and revenue gained are available in SC -32, SC-42, SC-52, and the worst results are given by SC-26, SC-29, SC-39.
3.2 Vocational training
Information on the training of skilled workers in vocational schools within the State Service of Execution of Punishment (SSEP) as provided by the PED.
There are 6 schools on vocational education in the penitentiary establish-ments. Vocational schools (hereafter VS) at SSEP are public schools for the education of prisoners to new professions, increasing their capacity to be productive.
Currently, there are the following VS:
• Vs#1 Issyk-Ataoblast,Novo-Pokrovka,Prison#3
• Vs#4 Moscowoblast,Petrovka,Prison#8

TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE PRISON INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITIES IN THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC22 Chapter 3 Chapter 3
In the vocational schools currently 72 senior masters and trainers are op-erating.
In last forty years, 19,287 skilled professionals were trained.
Since the mid-90’s, due to the closure of industries in labour colonies, the need for former professions reduced decisively. In the mid 2000’s there were only 3 schools functioning properly: VS #1 in the prison #3 Novo-Pokrovka, VS # 3 in prison #10 in Jalal-Abad and VS #6 at prison #47 in Bishkek and its branches where the leadership of the schools retained all equipment and foundation.
According to the Decree of the State Vocational Training Agency of the Min-istry of Labour, Occupation and Migration of the Kyrgyz Republic (SVTA) from 05.06.2007, 4 I / 58 had established a permanent working group on verification and practical assistance to educational institutions at SSEP, which together with the educational department of SSEP took the respon-sibility to reanimate vocational schools.
All spaces of vocational schools occupied by prisoners were freed in the prisons # 4, 8, 5, 1, 7, and 16. It was an emergency joint meeting of SSEP and SVTA, which was given the task to restore and strengthen equipment and foundation of the vocational schools and development of new instructions for vocational school regulation, which was approved by a joint decree of the Ministry of Justice of the Kyrgyz Republic 3(2 132 from 10.10 in 2007 SVTA number 1/214 of 10.101007.
After that, each prison has allocated part of the second-hand furniture to its vocational school. Also there was help provided by the educational de-partment of SSEP, which initiated the support from one of urban schools, which handed over second-hand furniture in total 300 pieces.
In 2009 there were two branches of vocational schools were opened in set-tlement colonies # 32 in Bishkek and # 51 in Balykchi city, where they be-gan to prepare specialist by professions in high demand in the oblast. in the prison #31 additionally opened another branch with the two groups, “junior-carpenter” and a new profession for the prison “computer use” .
At the moment are under consideration, the establishment of joint efforts SSEP and SVTA training and production centre with its own production to produce products and services to the population based in settlement colo-ny #32 (Rehabilitation Centre). As a result there will be possibility to create jobs for graduates from among the prisoners and the opening of its special accounts. All this will provide an opportunity to earn money that will be important for the prisoners after their release.
Along with teaching, the vocational schools participate in different initia-tives and various projects. In 2008 jointly with the Association of workers of SVTA the prisoners covering five vocational schools participated in the project “Young hearts do not want Aids - Protect Yourself’ within the project to control Aids in Central Asia. A series of seminars, workshops, social stud-

ies, watching video films took place. So in the Juvenile Colony #14, a com-petition wall newspaper dedicated to HIV-Aids prevention took place.
Over the past 5 years vocational schools opened new professions like: • Stoveworks• Theoperatorofsewingequipment,seamstress• Themechaniconrefrigeratorandairconditionersrepairmen• Barber• Manufacturerofnationalproducts• Florist-decorator.

Out of those 117.47 ha in total were cultivated and sown by settlement colonies.
Report on the cultivated land and pastures rented by open type prisons (Settlement Colonies) in 2010. Currently the settlement colonies of Depart-ment of Execution of Punishment of State Service Execution of Punishment have 384.82 hectares of the cultivated lands (93 hectares own – and 291.82 rented).

A major challenge is the development of such financial and economic ac-tivity as land use and husbandry. Due to the refusal of local authorities to allocate land plots to the institutions, poor material and technical base, lack of funds, running a profitable economy is not possible.
Agricultural products are produced by settlement colonies on rented and some own lands. Agricultural technical activities are contracted, seeds and chemicals are purchased requiring significant amount of funds.
The revenue gained from land use and labour use is subject to 20% tax at Treasury.
The categories of individuals employed by settlement colonies are prison-ers, which makes it difficult to provide collective employment.
With development of agriculture and own production lines the settlement colonies would address such problems as job for prisoners serving their sentence in a settlement colony and supply of closed institutions with ag-ricultural produce and production.

Colony #26 is in terms of land available the largest agro related colony. In total 228 ha of land (10 own and 218 ha of rented land) is available for agricultural use. 10 hectares of own and 20 hectares of rented land are used to grow spring barley for livestock feed. In total 15,150 kg barley as

well as 19,175 kg fodder concentrates were produced. The remaining area (198 ha) is utilised as pastures as well as harvesting area for perennial hay. 7,786 packs of hay were produced and stocked for winterfeed in 2010.
As reported, 24 prisoners are working at the farm in different areas as and when necessary.
In 2007 the colony received support through a GTZ implemented project to establish a shelter for around 250 cattle. Unfortunately part of the in-vestment (manure removal system) is already beyond repair and there is no proper feed preparation or feed storage system in place.
At the time of the visit the number of livestock was reported at 146 cattle, (only few were to be seen), 139 small ruminants (sheep and goats) as well as 2 horses and 1 donkey.
The cattle shelter (only few animals, all of them in poor conditions are at the farm)
Similar situation with small ruminant The «machine park» of the colony farm
1 tractor as well as one hay transporter and one multipurpose transporter are the machines available at the central farm building.
No other equipment was reported to be owned. Equipment necessary at harvest has to be rented in at the specific time. Though there is a produc-tion of more than 4,700 kg of meat at the colony no slaughter or meat preparation facilities are in place. The slaughtering as well as meat dressing is done in the traditional family farm way.
In 2010 more than 31,500 litres of milk were produced. Milking is done by hand.
The hygienic conditions are extremely poor and no proper milk cooling system is in place. Immediately after milking the milk is brought to the nearby prison for prisoners suffering from Tuberculosis. There the milk is stored in a cooling room.
TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE PRISON INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITIES IN THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC32 Chapter 3 Chapter 3
On average around 100 litres of milk is delivered to this prison while the demand is for at least 400 litres a day, an amount the farm easily could sup-ply in case minimum farm management would be introduced.

The harvest and production figures are reflecting the poor conditions of the farm. The veterinary , breeding as well as yielding problem is obvious and needs increased attention.

Colony #1 is a large compound. The only industrial activity is a small stone-processing factory, which is, at the moment of the visit, not functioning. The machinery is old and more or less primitive, it is of Chinese origin. The quality of the produced bricks is rather poor, second quality at most. Infor-mation is that the production unit has a capacity of 2.500.000 stones a year. The production realized in 2010 was less than 300.000 bricks. This lack of production result is caused by all kind of start-up problems. The manage-ment expects to be in full production in 2011.
It is not clear what the net production is. A group of prisoners, about 60, are set to work in this facility. The pay is 0,40 KGS per stone and the payment is once a year, at the finish of production. The colony (or most likely the SSEP) receives 10% of the gross output.6
Making stones is a rather new activity in colony #1. A contract with some Chi-nese company was set up and this company is said to be in total control of the production. It is only operated seven month a year, from April to October. This due to the climatologic conditions, the production unit is placed in open air and the surface on which the production functions is merely clay.
6 A brick of second quality should make about 4 KGS a piece. At a production of 2.000.000 the production would generate KGS 8.000.000. The total income for the prisoners that did the labour is KGS 800.000. The colony (SSEP) would also receive KGS 800.000. With an estimated costs deduction of KGS 2.000.000, the profit for the third party would be substantial, KGS 4.400.000.

There is a stone oven, which is heated with coal. The coal is put in from the top of the oven causing some damage to the stones.

This colony has some classrooms furnished to function for vocational train-ing. There is a classroom for electro technical training on a very basic level. During the visit it was not in use.
Unfortunately there are no workshops or production units where the the-ory could be put in to practice. This is why the classrooms are out of use.
Colony #1 also has a large shed, which was used for breeding pigs. This breeding unit is no longer in production.

Very close to colony #1 there is a bakery which functions exclusively for the penitential institutions, #26, #31 and #1. Although the baking process is simple and detainees could participate in the production, there are no prisoners involved in the process.
The supervisor told the experts he likes to work with civilians rather with prisoners. The equipment in use is outdated and not maintained since long. Thus the bread produced is of different quality and baking stage.

Colony #8 is a very large compound in a deplorable state. The industrial sector is destroyed; there are only the remainders of a once prosperous production unit. The buildings are mostly ruined and they are desolated. The doors and windows are demolished and the roofs leak. There is no wa-ter heating or electricity.
Some small huts were build by detainees Scrap and rubble
The machinery was dismantled some time ago and everything of use or value is gone. What remains is scrap and rubble. There is a lot of scrap around. This scrap can’t be removed because the necessary approval from headquarters has not been received.
Like in colony #1, the only industrial activity is a stone-processing factory, which is, at the moment of the visit, not functioning.
The machinery is old and more or less primitive, it is of Chinese origin7. The quality of the produced bricks is rather poor, second quality at most. 7 A brick of second quality should make about KGS 4 a piece. At a production of KGS 4.000.000 the
production would generate 16.000.000 KGS. The total income for the prisoners that did the labour is KGS 1.600.000. The colony (SSEP) would receive 1.600.000. With an estimated costs deduction of KGS 4.000.000, the profit for the third party would be substantial, KGS 8.800.000

Colony #3 offers more possibilities for prison labour. There is, as in the other colonies, a basic stone processing production unit, but also a greenhouse, a concrete tile production unit, a bakery and a wood-carving workshop.
Bricks
Like in other colonies, colony #3 has a brick-processing factory, which is, at the moment of the visit, not functioning. The machinery is old and more or less primitive, it is of Chinese origin.
The quality of the produced bricks is second quality at most. Information is that the production unit has a capacity of 5.000.000 stones a year. The production realized in 2010 was less than 1.000.000 bricks. This lack of pro-duction result is caused by all kind of start-up problems. The management expects to be in full production in 20118 . A group of about 120 prisoners work in this facility. The pay is 0,50 KGS per stone and the payment is once a year, at the finish of production. The colony (or most likely the SSEP) receives 10% of the gross output.
8 A brick of second quality should make about KGS 4 a piece. At a production of 5.000.000 KGS the production would generate KGS 20.000.000. The total income for the prisoners that did the labour is KGS 2.500.000. The colony (SSEP) would receive KGS 2.000.000. With an estimated costs deduction of KGS 5.000.000 KGS, the profit for the third party would be substantial, KGS 11.500.000.

Tiles
On the premises there is a small and basic tiles production line. The used material is concrete made in a small and simple mixer.

The production figures, cost, profit nor the actual number of prisoners involved are unknown. At the time of the visit the production-unit was not active, due to a seasonal closure. Production will allegedly start again spring 2011.

Bakery
In colony #3 there is a bakery responsible for the bread production for all detainees. Detainees are involved in this production unit, which operates 7 days a week under supervision of a licensed baker.
Although the working-space and the amount of detainees are sufficient for a wider and more specialized production, the loafs of bread.9 are the only product made. The equipment used is rather old and not very well main-tained and not sufficiently reliable. As a result the ready-made bread shows different states of doneness.
This bakery could be improved vastly with an investment in better equip-ment. This investment opens a variety of possibilities. In charge of this bak-ery is a trained and skilled baker. He will be able to improve the quality of the bread and to increase the range of products. There is enough working space available and a small trainings centre could be set up, where detain-ees could obtain the basic skills on bakery. 9 Allegedly regulations require bread to be made of second quality flour.

Workshops
On the second floor of one of the buildings there are a few workshops. There is a room were some ancient welding-equipment is kept and a former metal
workshop. All the former workshops are in very poor technical state and no detainees have been working here for a long time. The technical and safety state make working here unacceptable.
At the time of the visit there is only one workshop where a detainee is working, this is the so-called wood-workshop. He is working on the only lathe around. The results of his la-bour are allegedly sold to civilians in local stores. There is no training-centre or trained staff to guide the detainees or to control any pro-duction. This workshop should be seen as only in use for hobby and a passtime.

It is used to produce some vegetables and flowers but in a very generic manner. The repair needs are huge. A new facility might be cheaper than investing in the existing one, as also the basic supply with water and prop-er temperature control exists only in a very rudimentary manner.

Colony #37
Colony #37 is a small, wooden shed with only 6 detainees present. The shed is made of wood and the walls are plastered. There is a small barn in the back were some years ago cows were being held. The detainess are working on a 2 ha rented land and are producing mainly tomatoes, cabbage and other vagetables. Due to the high perishability of the products the losses at the field and after harvest are high. The colony management therefore plans to

Colony #16 is a rather recently build prison. The dimension of the complex is huge, in total about 17 hectares. About half was in use as the industrial area. The facilities are slightly better than in the other colonies. The vast industrial building, in the Soviet-days this used to be a factory making spareparts for tractors, is empty and mostly demolished, but the roofs are solid and the soil is partly levelled with concrete.
Demolished industrial complex
Brick production
Like in the other visited colonies bricks tend to be the major industrial ac-tivity; a brick production line is installed. The machinery is of a more recent date and it is of Chinese origin. The quality of the produced bricks is second quality at most.
Information is that the production unit has a capacity of more than 5.000.000 bricks a year. The production realized in 2010 was less than 1.500.000 bricks. This lack of production result is caused by all kind of start-up problems. The management expects to be in full production in 201110. A group of prisoners work in this facility, how many is unknown. The pay is KGS 0,50 per stone and the payment is done once a year, at the finish of production. The colony (or most likely the SSEP) receives 10% of the gross output.
10 A brick of second quality should make about KGS 4 a piece. At a production of 5.000.000 KGS the pro-duction would generate KGS 20.000.000. The total income for the prisoners that did the labour is KGS 2.500.000. The colony (SSEP) would receive KGS 2.000.000. With an estimated costs deduction of KGS 5.000.000, the profit for the third party would be substantial, KGS 10.500.000.

Car repair and maintenance
Now the maintenance and repair is done haphazardly or by the military based in Bishkek. This maintenance and repair activity could be com-bined with a vocational training for a group of prisoners.
The quality of some of the industrial buildings in colony #16 is such that with a modest investment a car-workshop can be set up where detainees will be taught and trained on maintenance-and repair of basic engines. A small car maintenance and repair unit could be set up with a relatively limited investment.

Colony #2 is the only closed prison for women in Kyrgyzstan. It differs strik-ingly from the penitential institutions for male. The compound contains a dozen or so one store buildings, mostly wood and plaster. The area is clean and well kept and the atmosphere is friendly. There is a lot of industrial activity; most female detainees take part in the prison labour.
Textile
The largest part is involved in the textile workshops. A large quantity of cloth is made here, mostly for the Russian Federation market. There is a large stream of orders and to meet the deadlines a two-shift working day is set up. There is a complete production-line, from the cutting of the fabric to the labelling and packaging of the readymade product. The machinery is various in quality, some innovation is necessary. The training of newcomers is done by the more experienced detainees. It is done by showing how to

Soymilk
A few years back a soymilk-packaging machine was installed in colony #2. It is unknown if a proper business plan was drafted which served as the ba-sis for this investment. This facility has been in production for a short time but due to technical and financial problems the facility was closed down last year.
The equipment which is Korean made, though not at the latest technologi-cal state still meets the requirements for soy processing for quick consump-tion. The reported quality problems deem to come to a high percentage from not suitable packaging material (bottles, but no bottle cleaning and sterilisation machine is available) and only in a limited percentage from the open processing type. With proper training and provision of the necessary working capital for the procurement of packaging material and supplies this line could be easily reactivated. Also in light of the availability of soy beans in Kyrgyzstan.

do it and by reproducing the technique. This means no new techniques or advancement in production can be realized.

Fruit-drying equipment
There is also fruit-drying equipment installed but this hasn’t been in use for a long time and is by now beyond repair. There might be more economi-cally feasible ways of utilising the available facilities rather than to invest in new drying equipment again for very small amount of raw material.

Hairdresser
Within this colony there is a high demand for hair-dressing. Like in the tai-lor-shop there is no professional available who can teach the prisoners the advanced principles on hairdressing. This training could be organized on a small budget and with an exam the training should result in a certificate valid in the outside world.

This settlement is also more or less empty. There are 163 prisoners reg-istered at the moment of the visit. A little less than 100 prisoners disap-peared and 68 are working in villages in the neighbourhood.
Only 4 prisoners are on the premises at the moment of the visit. The build-ing is being renovated and there are quite a few, small dormitories. There are no sanitary facilities inside the building as the water supply and the sewage canal are broken down totally.
The colony owns 51 ha of land which is used for production of potatoes, table beet and carrots. In addition fruits are grown. The administration of the colony envisages investing in a fruit and vegetable drying line to allow better utilisation of the available land. The rooms foreseen for the process-ing are in the existing building and deem not to be suitable.

4. RAISING FROM THE RUBBLE
4.1 General recommendations
It is highly recommended to review the Proposal on development of pro-duction in the institutions of penitentiary system within the financial sup-port provided by the Department of Execution of Punishment as shown in chapter 3.5.
The proposal should be based on economically feasible business plans for the production activities whether in agriculture, food processing or non-food processing.
Economically sound business centres could contribute to the improve-ment of the financial situation in the Department of Execution of Punish-ment, thus significantly changing to the better the situation in the colonies and the prison system at a whole.
As almost 400 ha of agricultural land (mostly irrigated) are administered by the State Service of Execution of Punishment the activities have to be planned in a manner allowing outmost contribution to the self-supply of the system on the one side and on the other hand to utilise this existing potential to involve the prisoners in vocational activities allowing a better integration in the civil population in light of the high percentage of agro related jobs in the country.
Professional training should be offered in areas where job opportunities are available as well as for growing or even emerging sectors.
4.2 Priorities
Cleaning up
The situation in the colonies and settlements for male give little hope for ma-jor improvements on the short term. There is a shortage of all kind of basic needs mostly like proper buildings with water, electricity and heating. There is on the other hand much what can be done to improve the circumstances of living for the prisoners. First of all the premises have to be cleaned. There are a lot of prisoners, with nothing on their hands so the working force for this cleaning-up activity is around. There is a huge quantity of rubble, rub-ble that can be sold and used for road or dike improvement.
The remaining building should be inspected by a construction specialist who will decide where an investment in renovation is economically justifi-able. If the necessary machinery is available the rest of the ruined buildings should be torn down. Again this could be a major activity for the detainees. Rubble can be sold for road and dike renovation.
Cleaning and painting of the premises will have a large positive impact on all the inhabitants of the facility, staff and prisoners alike.
After the cleaning up, the reclaimed land could be worked to prepare it for agriculture use. The size of most of the colony justifies an agriculture use of a large part.
Chapter 4 51RAISING FROM THE RUBBLEChapter 4
In a few years, the land will recover and vegetables and fruit could be grown and for example colony #16 with more than 17 ha of fenced land could be analysed for chicken production (meat and eggs). In combination with a professional vocational training, the results of the pilot training in colonies #26 and #44, a large number of detainees could work here.
Colonies #1,3,8 and 16
Stone production units
All visited colonies have a small and rather inefficient stone production unit. All of the production plants are situated in a more or less open area, some even outside a building. The production results differ enormously from the prognoses. On average only 25% of the target is met. The reason for this back fall could be start-up problems but taken all the circumstances in account a more structural problem could be the true reason, this being a lack of professional background by the responsible staff.
Training and coaching of the staff is an absolute necessity for success. The financial results, even on the modest production as realized in 2010, are such that there could be enough financial resources to finance training of staff and detainees. Besides the training, increase in payment for prisoners involved is justifiable. The production costs of the stones are modest and the profit relatively high. On the subject of income generating activities progress can be made. It is clear, there are some kind of contracts made up on the stone production. A closer study on the details of these agreements will reveal the possibilities for change.
Colony #3
Bakery
The bakery in colony #3 could be modernized and expanded. This qual-ity of this bakery could be improved vastly with an investment in better equipment. This investment opens a variety of possibilities. In charge of this bakery is a trained and skilled baker. He will be able to improve the quality of the bread and to increase the range of products. There is enough working space available for a small trainings centre to be set up, where detainees could obtain the basic skills on bakery.
Colony #16
Car repair and maintenance
The growth of the agricultural activity will bring a larger amount of vehi-cles, mostly trucks and tractors. At the moment the maintenance and re-pair is done haphazardly or by the military based in Bishkek. This main-tenance and repair activity could be combined with a vocational training
TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE PRISON INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITIES IN THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC52 Chapter 4 Chapter 4
for a group of prisoners. The quality of some of the industrial buildings in colony #16 is such that with a modest investment a car-workshop can be set up where detainees will be taught and trained on maintenance-and repair of basic engines.
Colony #26
Agriculture activity
Though there are a lot of problems to be solved at the farm and also the processing level this colony is the most advanced in terms of livestock and its derived products.
It is important that the colony management is strengthened in terms of farm management and general agricultural skills.
Introduction of proper resource planning and utilisation as well as the ap-plication of standard agricultural methods and techniques will help to in-crease yields at field as well as animal level. Equipping the farm with neces-sary equipment appropriate for a business utilising around 230 ha of land is an indispensible first step. By doing so the colony #26 could become a training centre for all other colonies involved in farm, especially livestock businesses on the one hand while on the other hand detainees could be trained on jobs available all over the country.
In parallel a strategic decision on the direction of the livestock develop-ment has to be taken.
In light of the close vicinity of a colony for prisoners suffering from tubercu-losis, the easy transferability of this infectious disease from human to cows and vice versa and the fact that raw, non pasteurised milk from sick cows is a well known vector for the spread of this disease the appropriateness of milk production has to be investigated.
The result has to be taken into consideration on the decision whether milk or meat or both should be the focus production at the colony.
In case meat will be the main focus the colony farm should establish an ap-propriate slaughter facility allowing the production of quarter pieces. The facility should include a cold store.
Slaughter and meat processing again provides the possibility for voca-tional training and improving the chances of reintegration in the business circle after the time in prison.
In case of milk production will remain the focus it is indispensible to es-tablish proper milk cooling as well as a processing system including a pas-teurisation unit. No raw milk should be sold from the farm in this specific environment directly to consumers, whoever they are.
Taking the existing structure of the Kyrgyz milk sector into consideration the effect on job creation after the time in prison might be low
Chapter 4 53RAISING FROM THE RUBBLEChapter 4
Colony #44
This colony is in terms of available land the second largest in the country. It is located close to the Issyk-Kul Lake and benefits in terms of agricultural production from the favourable climate in this region.
The professional utilisation of the available land of 51 ha would allow the proper production of fruits and vegetables and allow the set up of a voca-tional training centre for products of the region and prepare detainees for integration in the business world without big problems.
As the region has a lot of small private businesses in this sector the training centre also could be utilised by private entrepreneurs. Proper treatment of fruit trees is an urgent need for the whole region and could be introduced through training at both, private and prison level at low costs. This would support the activities on poverty reduction in the region.
Fruit and vegetable drying could be easily introduced in processing facili-ties which were closed down due to the economic problems in the region rather than using living rooms of the main building of the colony #44.
By doing so the activity could have a positive impact at the prison sys-tem but also in a region with economic difficulties. Synergies with other projects (ongoing or planned) could be easily developed.
Fruit processing activities could be widened by establishing a production facility for wooden fruit crates, a necessity for graded and classified fresh product marketing.
Colony #2
This colony for female is by far the most advanced and gives the best op-portunities for prison-labour and training.
Textile
There is a flourishing textile workshop, where all kind of different cloth designs are made mostly for the Russian Federation market. The training of the prisoners who volunteer for a job is given by more experienced fellow detainees. There is no professional who can teach the prisoners the advanced principles on tailoring. More complex assignments, prob-ably more profitable, cannot be accepted due to this lack of professional knowledge.
There are enough rooms available where a tailor training could be set up. The training should be given by experienced and qualified tailor and the participants should receive a valid certificate which will improve their chances on the labour-market and support the poverty reduction. An-nex III is a business plan on the sewing workshop organization and female prisoners’ work arrangement. This plan was developed by the local prison management and is innovative and more or less realistic.
TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE PRISON INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITIES IN THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC54 Chapter 4
Hairdressing
Within this colony there is a high demand for hair-dressing. Like in the tai-lor-shop there is no professional available who can teach the prisoners the advanced principles on hairdressing. This training could be organized on a rather small budget and a positive conclusion the training should result in a certificate valid in the outside world.
Internal work
The kitchen and dining room in colony #2 was old and run-down. The man-agement organized some funding and a group of detainees was willing and capable to renovate both. At the time of the visit this task was almost completed.
The result was astonishing. The roof of the building was rebuild, the elec-tricity and water system was renewed, the floor and walls were lined with tiles and everything was freshly painted. This way of innovative thinking should be promoted and encouraged.
Kitchen and dining room were renovated
Rabbit breeding
It is recommended to analyse whether the colony #2 could start rabbit breeding.
On the one side this would allow additional diversification in the daily diet of detainees, on the other side the furs could be prepared for production of warm jackets, thus diversifying the offer from the sewing department.
Soymilk
Instead of investing in new equipment and technology for fruit and veg-etable drying it is advisable to reactivate the soymilk processing plant also in light of existing in system markets.

Beside the situation already documented in related reports The prevailing situation in all of the prisons, visited during the assessment, is one in which it is necessary to take measures on the one side to create a healthier liv-ing environment for prisoners and staff working in these institutions and on the other side to provide the framework which enables the envisaged goals of generating additional income for the prison service and improving the social reintegration prospects of prisoners.
In general it is to say that the income generating activities executed in the prison system are very rudimentary and reflecting the general situation of the system. Vocational training for the prisoners are offered through the SSEP but the available training centres, at least the ones visited in course of the mission are not supporting an education and training which allows
67ANNEXES
a proper reintegration of prisoners into the business world after their re-lease. Though the situation deems to be better for women in the area of hair dressing and crafting it is far behind the common standard existing in the country.
In terms of agro related activities and food processing the existing resourc-es are poorly utilised due to lack of management capacity and equipment as well as tools.
