A Rivne journalist tested an electronic bracelet of house arrest. House arrest as a preventive measure

The offender complained to MK in St. Petersburg about an expensive device

Arrested last week former head Federal Service execution of punishments (FSIN) Alexander Reimer. The investigation suspects him of embezzling three billion rubles in the purchase of electronic bracelets for the arrested. As it turned out, the bracelets were not only purchased at a crazy price, but also turned out to be simply useless - supposedly you can remove them with ordinary scissors.

The signal was received - the task force did not arrive

According to the Federal Penitentiary Service for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, about a hundred people who have been sentenced to house arrest by the court are wearing electronic bracelets in our region today (there are 10,000 "bracelet inmates" in Russia - Ed.). This method of isolation is considered humane. Usually those who have committed minor crimes or are sick and cannot be in the isolation ward during the investigation are usually shackled with bracelets.

This device looks like a large wrist watch, it is attached to the leg with a plastic strap. There are stationary devices - they are installed in the apartment of the arrested person and operate within a radius of 50-100 meters. Mobile devices fit in a small bag and give the home prisoner much more freedom of movement. He can even go to work. According to the staff of the Federal Penitentiary Service, a mobile device can be programmed for the “home-work” route, banning visits to entertainment establishments – cinemas, theaters, restaurants, football matches.

“I have been under house arrest for four months now,” says St. Petersburg resident Grigory Merenkov (his name has been changed. - Ed.). I have my first conviction. An absurd fight in a restaurant - and, as a result, a year in "bracelets". It's good that they didn't really put him in jail. While it was winter, I easily hid the bracelet under wide winter trousers. But now it will be more difficult - the device is attached to the ankle and sticks out. Some colleagues at work have already “exposed” me. After all, I constantly carry a borset under my arm, in which there is a mobile control device. It is about the size of a large cell phone with an SOS button. In theory, I can call the inspector at any time. But, as I learned, I have to keep my finger on the button for almost a minute for the signal to reach the control panel. In an emergency, this will not be possible. My bracelet has already given false calls - when I washed in the bathroom, the contacts of the lock oxidized, and the device regarded this as an attempt to unfasten the strap. Once he reacted when I was sleeping at home at all ... However, no response team ever came to me. I was told that the inspectors simply record the alarms in the log and that's it.

According to Gregory, getting rid of the bracelet is easy and simple - just lengthen the strap.

“On Internet forums, unfortunates like me share their experience of avoiding surveillance,” Grigory laughs. - The bracelet gives a signal only when the strap is unfastened. But you can solder the contacts, lengthen the strap and remove the device. They say a lot of people do it.

All bracelets lead to jail

But now the Investigative Committee has found out that both in stationary and mobile systems there were no electronic units responsible for processing the signals of the GLONASS system. So the bracelets are fake? Expensive useless "tsatski"? Recall that each bracelet cost the budget 100 thousand rubles, although the real price is at most 10 thousand.

In the Federal Penitentiary Service in St. Petersburg and Leningrad region they vaguely say that “there are failures in the system”, but none of the arrested people have yet left the surveillance.

- It was planned that by 2016 there would be 300 thousand people under house arrest, but this is unlikely. The electronic bracelets with which the convicts live will soon begin to fail en masse,” says Sergey Borodin, an engineer at the TsNIPS 24 design bureau. - The term of use of each is three years. But in reality, bracelets serve even less. Their battery is weak. And the conditions of their wearing are such that the batteries simply can not withstand the load. Dust and water get into the devices. There may be mechanical damage. Therefore, electronics often give false signals. Now, when the supply of bracelets has been stopped, and new ones are not being produced yet, many people will go to places of deprivation of liberty - there will be no alternative in the form of house arrest.

Meanwhile

Prisoners count losses

In Russia, several cases have already been recorded when convicts refused to wear electronic bracelets, preferring a real prison to house arrest. It turned out that the prisoners were afraid to damage an expensive thing, for which the prison department collects the full cost - from 100 thousand rubles and more. According to official figures, convicted citizens have already lost or broken electronic bracelets totaling one million rubles. According to court decisions, they must compensate for the loss of state property - up to a penny.

What is house arrest? Can I leave the house, invite friends, drive within the city or go to work? Also, not everyone knows whether it is possible to communicate with other people, how the movements of the suspect or the authorities are tracked. We will try to cover all these issues in detail in this article.

What is meant by house arrest?

This is a measure of restraint applied by the court to the accused or suspected of a crime. She is appointed on the basis of Article 107 of the Criminal Code Russian Federation. They resort to it if there are reasons why it is impossible to apply a milder measure of restraint. For example, if the suspect is prohibited from moving around the city and meeting people without notice law enforcement. House arrest as a preventive measure is not intended to violate or infringe on human rights. Restrictions established by the court must be motivated. The rights of the suspect to family and private life must be preserved.

What is the point of house arrest?

This preventive measure is identical to detention. Only during house arrest, a citizen is at the place of residence, and not in a cell. He is free to do whatever he wants on the territory of his house, but he has no right to leave it. House arrest refers to complete or partial isolation from society. But the suspect can communicate with family and relatives. At the same time, he must be in the room where he lives as an owner, tenant or on other legal grounds.

A citizen is subject to prohibitions and restrictions, which are determined by the court depending on the severity of his guilt. Despite the fact that he is at home, complete control is exercised over him and his actions.

When appointing house arrest, the state of health of this citizen is taken into account. If necessary, he is kept in the hospital. In this case, it becomes a place of preventive measure.

House arrest often does not mean complete isolation from society. It happens that the restrictions relate mainly to communication and meetings with the following persons:

  • participants in legal proceedings (suspects, experts, witnesses, etc.);
  • relatives of the participants in the process;
  • colleagues, friends and subordinates.

When is this measure of restraint given?

It will apply only if a citizen is suspected or accused of committing a crime for which the court can issue a sentence of imprisonment for more than three years. For less serious crimes, they usually take a written undertaking not to leave, a surety, and a bail. And house arrest is applied in this case only if the suspect violated the previous preventive measure or fled from the investigation (or tried to do so).

How is detention

If such a measure of restraint is going to be chosen against a citizen, then the investigator can act only with the consent of the leadership, and the interrogating officer - by the decision of the prosecutor. After receiving a positive decision, a petition is sent to the court. A decision is issued, sent to the person who requested this measure of restraint. The second copy of the document is sent to the prosecutor responsible for overseeing the house arrest of the accused or suspect. The decision of the court is subject to immediate execution.

Decree

In a court decision, when house arrest is chosen as a measure of restraint, all the conditions must be clearly spelled out:

  • the place where the citizen will be;
  • the time for which the suspect or the accused can move outside the home;
  • term;
  • restrictions;
  • prohibitions;
  • places allowed to visit;
  • restriction on some contacts and meetings.

It may also be prohibited to send and receive mail, use mobile phones, smartphones and other means of communication, including the Internet. All these restrictions are legal only if the court includes them in its ruling. House arrest can be imposed on a suspect or accused person with both the full list of the above, and with some individual items.

Rights of citizens under house arrest

Sometimes conditions can be changed. The suspect is allowed to apply for a mitigation of the preventive measure if there are good reasons for this, for example, for health reasons he needs to visit a clinic or hospital. He may independently or through a lawyer, interrogating officer or investigator file such a petition with the court. In this case, house arrest is canceled, restrictions and prohibitions are changed, or all conditions remain the same.

The suspect or the accused has the right to use the phone to call the special services (ambulance, firefighters, police, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations) or communicate with regulatory authorities, as well as the investigator and interrogating officer who are dealing with his case.

Terms of house arrest

The terms of the measure of restraint are established by the court. Under the law, house arrest can be established for a period not exceeding two months. It applies to suspects or accused. If the preliminary investigation cannot be completed within two months, and there are no grounds for canceling or changing the measure of restraint, then house arrest may be extended for the same period. But again, only by court order.

The maximum period of house arrest, according to the law, is 1.5 years. A longer preventive measure is illegal, the court has no right to establish it. In other words, the two-month period of house arrest can be extended again and again until its total time is 1.5 years.

This preventive measure is equivalent to detention in a pre-trial detention center. For this reason, if a citizen is sentenced by a court decision to imprisonment, then the time of house arrest must be deducted from the total term assigned to the convicted person. For example, a person was under investigation with such a measure of restraint for a year, he was sentenced to 5 years, respectively, he will be imprisoned for 4 years.

Supervisory authorities

These are penitentiary inspectorates operating on the basis of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation. According to the law, they are obliged to exercise control over the presence of the suspect or the accused in the place indicated by the court. And also for the observance by this citizen of all restrictions and prohibitions that were included in house arrest.

Who is in control

Supervision of proper court order carried out by police officers assigned to certain areas of the city. Otherwise they are called local inspectors. In addition to them, control is also exercised by officials who are in charge of a criminal case brought against a given citizen. They not only exercise proper supervision, but also explain the conditions of house arrest and the consequences of violating it. Besides, officials conduct preventive conversations with the suspect.

What are regulators entitled to?

A special bracelet is now used to supervise the defendant. House arrest also involves the use of audiovisual, electronic and other technical devices.

Supervisory bodies (inspectorates) have the right to summon citizens to their place to carry out the following actions:

  • preventive conversations;
  • explanation of the conditions for the execution of the measure of restraint;
  • conducting an interrogation on the case and clarifying all newly discovered circumstances;
  • clarification of the reasons for violation of restrictions and prohibitions.

Inspections also have the right to visit the suspect at the place where he should be (home). Including work, if he is allowed to work. Supervisory authorities have the right to apply to the prosecutor's office, local self-government and courts to resolve issues that have arisen that are related to the implementation of the conditions of house arrest.

Responsibilities of the supervisory authorities

Inspection officers must explain to suspects or accused persons the conditions of house arrest. And also convey to them information that they have the right to cancel or change the measure of restraint. If citizens under house arrest express a desire to take advantage of this and file a petition, then the regulatory authorities are obliged to submit it to the court for consideration.

If the suspect or the accused was hospitalized, then until the court decides to cancel the current measure of restraint or change it, all prohibitions and restrictions continue to apply. Only the place of preventive measure now becomes the medical institution where the citizen was placed. The Inspectorate is obliged to control the execution of the current order of the court.

The conditions of house arrest sometimes imply the need to transfer the suspect or convict to the bodies of preliminary investigation or court hearings. In this case, the regulatory authorities are obliged to deliver it with their own transport.

If a citizen, by order of the court, must be completely isolated from society, then all meetings with a lawyer take place only at his place of residence. If the suspect or the accused has violated the rules of house arrest specified in the order, the supervisory authorities may file a petition with the court to change the measure of restraint.

Electronic bracelet as a means of supervision

Not so long ago, an electronic device appeared, which, on the basis of a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, is required to be worn by people in respect of whom a similar preventive measure (house arrest) has been chosen. Thanks to the bracelet, there was no need to directly monitor a person and be on duty near the house of a suspected police patrol.

The electronic bracelet is invisible to others. It is an electronic device that is put on the defendant, the measure of restraint for which is the restriction of freedom. Thanks to the bracelet, the location of a citizen is tracked. It is designed for long-term wear and has a built-in system that allows you to detect unauthorized removal or opening of the device.

An electronic bracelet is worn on the ankle. The body of the device is sealed, with electronic components and locks. It is also waterproof, so the suspect can shower or bathe.

Functions of the electronic bracelet

Some time ago it was difficult to control such a preventive measure as house arrest. In the criminal process, for this reason, preference was previously given to the detention of a person. Since it was quite difficult to control the observance of the rules of house arrest by the suspects. Thanks to the bracelet, it has become much more convenient to follow him. At intervals set by employees of the authorities, the bracelet sends signals about the movements of a citizen. If the allowed movement zone is violated, a signal is immediately sent to the control panel. The same thing happens when you try to remove the bracelet. Thus, the regulatory authorities record all insinuations and can quickly stop them.

When approaching places prohibited for the defendant, the bracelet also sends signals to the operator console. These can be drinking zones, mass events, certain areas of the city, etc. It is worth paying attention to the fact that usually one violation of the rules of house arrest is enough to change the preventive measure to a tougher one. This person is warned in advance. Exceptions are cases where the suspect violated the rules by mistake.

This year, law enforcement officers purchased electronic bracelets that track the movements of suspects under house arrest. Rivne policemen showed how the bracelets work and talked about their experience of using them.
This is what an electronic bracelet looks like.

It is worn on the suspect's arm or leg. True, the police say that after the flight of the scandalous rector Melnik, now they are on their feet.
- The bracelet is adjusted depending on the size, and then a special clasp is placed, - says acting. Nikolai Minko, Head of the Communications Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in the Rivne region. - It’s impossible to put on your hand (trying on: the bracelet is too big, - author). See, it will subside. You will be able to free your hand.
We try on the leg - the size fits, it will not fly off ...

This bracelet can withstand temperatures up to 90 degrees, that is, you can safely take a bath with it, etc. …

A mobile device must be attached to the bracelet, which the prisoner must always have with him.

- It is also used as mobile phone- says Nikolai Minko. “The mobile numbers of the inspector in charge of the suspect and the monitoring console are programmed here. If the suspect has an unpredictable circumstance: health problems, fire, flood, etc., and he needs to get out somewhere, he dials the number of the console that is watching him. Talks about the situation and warns that there will be a violation. Only those who know the number can call him on this device. The number is in our database, but even the suspect doesn't know it. The device gives the prisoner a signal if he violates something. For example: you went out of the allowed zone, the battery runs out, the GPS signal disappears ... the device immediately “beeps” and reports the reason for the violation on the screen.

This is a monitoring console. There are two of them in the region - in Rovno and in Kuznetsovsk.
Green indicates the permitted path for the movement of the prisoner. If it goes beyond these limits, an alarm is triggered on the remote control, and its further movement is displayed in red. The alarm is also triggered by damage to the bracelet or mobile device, as well as if the prisoner removes the bracelet.
The inspector on duty is always watching the console. When an alarm is triggered, the first thing the duty officer should do is call the suspect and ask about the reasons for the violation. If the violator does not answer, policemen are immediately sent to him.
This is the whole set.
Its cost is 14 thousand hryvnias. In total, there are 17 of these in the region. Today there are 5 free ones. 10 are on prisoners, and 2 more were damaged by violators, they were sent for repairs.
“An electronic means of control is not handcuffs that chain a person,” says Nikolai Minko. - This bracelet provides for monitoring a person at the place of stay. The measure of restraint for the suspect is determined by the court. If the judge decides to apply house arrest, then the possibility and expediency of using the bracelet is taken into account. That is, the device is not worn by everyone who is under house arrest. Since July of this year, it has been worn by 21 people. Today there are ten such people.
The police say that the measure of restraint "house arrest" is chosen mainly for non-serious crimes, such as petty theft. True, there was a case when the court chose such a measure for a suspect in an accident.

For each person, the bracelet is customized individually. The judge indicates in the ruling for how long the prisoner may leave the house or forbids leaving the house at all.
“Since we started using these bracelets, we have had three violators,” says Nikolai Minko. One suspect cut the bracelet with scissors and damaged the mobile device. An alarm went off, he was immediately detained and a motion was made to change the measure of restraint. Another man deliberately removed the bracelet. And another prisoner could leave the house for a limited time - he went to work. Once he got drunk and did not return in time. And he lost his mobile device (district inspectors found the device three whole days later, - author).
The court changed the measure of restraint for all three violators, they were placed in a pre-trial detention center.

Will such a tool as bracelet electronic? International practice applications electronic bracelets shows that this means of restricting freedom is really effective.

What is an electronic bracelet?

In theory, almost the entire adult population of Russia knows what electronic bracelet and what it is for. However, due to the fact that such a means of restricting freedom in our country has a short history, the main knowledge about it was obtained from foreign sources - articles, news reports and even movies. Such sources of information led to the fact that many of the nuances of the use of this device remained behind the scenes.

For example, what electronic bracelet is only part of the electronic tracking system. Technically, this device is a transmitter that sends signals to a special device (stationary or portable) connected via communication channels to the control device. The latter is usually installed in the supervisory authority and allows you to record all the movements of the convict, as well as contact him as necessary.

The possibilities of an electronic tracking system more than pay for its technical complexity. With the help of this system, it is possible to establish an individual mode for the convict, limiting the time spent on the street by certain (usually daytime) hours.

The system also contains data on those places, visits to which are limited for a person. Such, for example, may be entertainment facilities, schools, kindergartens, as well as other places where its appearance is undesirable.

Thus, the inspector can trace the entire route of the ward, and in case of deviation from the permitted path, send a signal about the need to return to the boundaries allowed for stay. From this side, the electronic tracking system is a full-fledged means of restricting freedom - and this is how the law interprets it.

Electronic Tracking Systems: Legislative Framework

Electronic systems tracking appeared in the domestic list of penalties due to changes made in 2010 federal law dated December 27, 2009 No. 377-FZ “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation in Connection with the Enactment of the Provisions of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the Penitentiary Code of the Russian Federation on Punishment in the Form of Restriction of Freedom”.

After the introduction of amendments to the Criminal Code, along with deprivation of liberty, such a type of punishment as its restriction appeared (Article 53). It provides for 3 main measures that apply to a convicted citizen throughout the entire period of punishment:

  1. Restriction of movement (establishment of territorial and time limits).
  2. Restriction of communication (refusal to visit mass events and other events).
  3. Restriction on the choice of place of residence and work (study).

Electronic bracelet designed to limit human freedom, but not completely deprive it, giving the citizen the opportunity to improve and lead ordinary life without complete isolation from society. Therefore, punishment only in the form of restriction of freedom, in its specificity, is not applicable to citizens who have committed grave crimes.

Who is shown an electronic bracelet?

To the restriction of freedom and, accordingly, wearing electronic bracelet Citizens convicted of crimes of petty and medium gravity can be sentenced as the main type of punishment. In this case, the restriction of freedom is established for a period of 2 months to 4 years.

However this species punishment cannot be assigned to certain categories of citizens: military personnel, foreigners and stateless persons. Restriction of freedom is also not assigned Russian citizens who do not have a permanent place of residence on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Grave crimes, the list of which is given in a special part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, as already mentioned, cannot be punished only by restriction of freedom. However, restriction of liberty may be imposed as an additional punishment following the main one (imprisonment or forced labor). The term of punishment in this case is up to 2 years.

Thus, the restriction of freedom can be both basic and additional view punishment. If the court decision does not initially provide for restriction of freedom, then convicted citizens have the right to apply for a transition to this type of punishment. Changing the type of punishment to restriction of freedom is possible only on condition of good behavior and compliance of the remainder of the term of serving the sentence with the norms established by law (Article 80 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

Features of the use of an electronic bracelet

As already mentioned, the practice of applying electronic bracelets in Russia is quite new, so not all interested persons, including the executors of punishment, have sufficient experience in their application. In practice, this leads to the presence of features that are not regulated by law in any way, which means that they must be decided by the courts. This is not always convenient, as it takes a long time.

Important! Quite often, it is unknown to convicts that, despite the presence of an electronic tracking device, they still need to visit supervisory authorities for registration. According to the law, this should be done from 1 to 4 times a month.

Due to the variability of the type of punishment in the process of serving it, the restriction of his freedom can be adjusted at the request of the supervisory authorities: toughened or, conversely, mitigated. For example, the length of time spent outside the home has been reduced or increased.

Likewise, supervisory authorities repeated failure conditions of restriction of liberty may apply for the application of a different measure of punishment against a citizen - imprisonment or assignment of forced labor.

Can the electronic bracelet be removed?

Electronic bracelet, worn, as a rule, on the ankle, is a fairly massive object. It is impossible to wear high boots with him, he can cause a lot of trouble for people with health problems; in addition, electronics often suffer from getting wet - long or even short - and sometimes break. In other words, there are many reasons that can motivate a person to seek removal of the device. They may well be considered justified by the court (or not).

First of all, it should be noted that the restriction of freedom in itself is a punishment and, in the general case, cannot be completely abolished - it can only be replaced by a more severe one, with a change in the term of punishment. For example, when the restriction of freedom is replaced by deprivation of liberty or forced labor, the period of unserved punishment is halved.

Nevertheless, the term of punishment by restriction of freedom, as well as any other type of punishment, can be reduced only with good behavior and the presence of facts that contribute to the early removal of punishment. Such facts can be: health restrictions, the need for business trips, pregnancy, and so on.

Another way to legally withdraw electronic bracelet there may be an appeal against the verdict in the cassation procedure (subject to a previously filed appeal).

Separately, it is worth mentioning cases when an electronic device is damaged - intentionally or unintentionally. In this case, the convicted citizen will have to pay a fine for a damaged device (several tens of thousands of rubles), and the restriction of freedom may well be replaced by a more severe punishment.

Portable tracking devices are used by the Federal Service for the Execution of Punishments while holding nearly 10,000 probationers in Russia. Sergey Frolov from Nizhny Novgorod, who had to “try on” such a bracelet, told a SmartNews correspondent how his life had changed after the introduction of the electronic “decoration”.

Sergei Frolov grew up in a prosperous family. In all his life he never had problems with the law. After school, he easily entered the institute, then served a year in special forces of the Airborne Forces, after the army got a job at a prestigious public service. Graduated from driving school and got a license. The first independent trip to the city in the car of his parents became fatal for him. Sergei did not calculate the distance to the oncoming car and turned left. Through his fault, a collision occurred, as a result of which the passenger of the oncoming car broke his arm. The fracture turned out to be displaced, and the victim underwent surgery.

Sergei failed to escape the trial: the victim set too high a price for reconciliation of the parties before the trial - 350 thousand rubles. The trial took place 9 months after the accident. Sergei was sentenced to 1 year of suspended liberty and the payment of moral compensation to the victim in the amount of 100 thousand rubles.

For the first six months, the punishment had almost no effect on my life. I continued to work, visited relatives who live in the Nizhny Novgorod region. There was only one burden - to report to the inspection every week. Also, I was not supposed to leave the area. But it wasn't terrible for me.

When the first half of the term was left behind, Sergei was summoned to the inspection and put on a bracelet. From that day began for him new life. According to the new rules, he is forbidden to leave Nizhny Novgorod, and even a shopping trip to a shopping center located a few kilometers from his house, but outside the city, can turn into a prison for him.

In addition, in addition to the bracelet, he needs to always and everywhere carry a transmitting device with him, which needs to be charged every day from the network like a mobile phone.

The device is a box slightly larger than a cigarette pack. You can’t move further than 10 meters from it. According to Sergey, the bracelet can’t be removed and wetted for more than 30 seconds. Accordingly, the convict does not have the right to bathe in ponds and pools. Baths and showers should only be taken in such a way that water does not come into contact with the device.

We did not expect that this whole accident story would turn into such a nightmare. He served in the army, returned with excellent performance, with two medals, got the job he dreamed of ... And that's what happened. He, of course, is to blame and should have been punished, because a person was injured, a car was broken through his fault, but it seems to me that it turned out to be too severe. It turns out very strange that the rights were not taken away, but freedom was limited. For what?

After Sergey was put on a bracelet, they found out about his criminal record at work. Although the management had no legal grounds for dismissing the employee, he was asked to leave voluntarily, otherwise they promised to ruin his work biography.

Meanwhile, the bracelet and the transmitting device failed on the third day. Sergei was afraid that he would have to answer for this, and on the same day he rushed to the inspection. But there they reacted surprisingly calmly to the news that the equipment was out of order. They told me to go home and wait for a call.

When they put the bracelet on, I was told several times that it was very expensive equipment and that I should take care of it as much as possible. own health, and then suddenly it broke, and no one cares. For the first two weeks, this bothered me, but when I saw a story on the news that the Federal Penitentiary Service had purchased a huge batch of counterfeit bracelets for the whole of Russia, everything became clear.

In February 2013, as a result of an internal audit of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, a number of violations were identified, due to which the department purchased a large number of faulty restraint devices. There were no electronic blocks in them, that is, they could not be used for their intended purpose. According to official representative departments of Vladimir Markin, the Federal Service purchased defective products at prices that were twice the market prices. The damage from these operations in the Investigative Committee was estimated at more than a billion rubles. On the fact of violations in public procurement, a criminal case was initiated under the article on attempted fraud. Several high-ranking employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service, including former leader Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia Alexander Reimer and his deputy Nikolai Krivolapov.

In the course of operation, there are losses and damages to the equipment of the SEMPL (electronic monitoring system for controlled persons):

— 2 mobile control devices were stolen as a result of criminal attacks on convicts sentenced to restriction of freedom (2 criminal cases were initiated).

- 1 stationary control device was destroyed, the convict, to whom the SKU was applied, died in a fire.

— 2 electronic bracelets were damaged by convicts.

— 1 SKU was damaged by convicts.

For each fact of loss and damage to SEMPL equipment, internal checks were carried out. ... As of March 6, 2013, 2 faulty control devices and 2 electronic bracelets were sent to FSUE TsITOS of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia for repair. The SAMPL operator carries out daily monitoring of technical condition control device. In the event of a malfunction, the control device is withdrawn by the SEMPL operator for testing and repair. Instead of a faulty one, a backup set of the electronic monitoring system is used.
