The last chance
The last meeting of the GOS of the State Duma on the refinement of the bill on the use of physical force, weapons and special equipment in the institution was held on December 1, 2015, chaired by the State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein.
The working group did not support the proposal that if the death of a prisoner occur during the use of weapons or special equipment during escort, or he was caused by severe or medium severity to health, the 24-hour period of informing the prosecutor was not calculated from the moment the convoy arrives in the institution.
“But the convoy has no fax, and the road can take several days!” - exclaimed the representative of the FSINA.
“There are modern means of communication everywhere,” retorted A. Khinshtein. - If the escort is indeed, for objective reasons, he is deprived of the opportunity to inform the prosecutor, then an irresistible force acts here, and he is exempted from responsibility.
The dangerous wording that special equipment can be used to suppress counteraction or malicious disobedience to the legal requirements of the UIS employees was replaced by my proposal to another. In accordance with it, batons and handcuffs can be used to suppress disobedience or opposition associated with the use of violence, dangerous Life or health. The discussion flashed on the subject of whether it was possible to hit with a baton one who decided to harm his health in order to knock sharpening or blade from his hands. In the end, it was decided that any danger of life for any person can be a repetition for the use of special equipment.
Another discussion broke out about the wording of the use of handcuffs when moving convicts to life imprisonment, obviously pose a danger to others. Today, the movement of convicts to PLC is not the basis for the use of handcuffs. However, in almost all 6 colonies for life -sentenced people, they are handcuffed when withdrawal from the room. The members of the working group came to the conclusion that handcuffs can only be applied to those who can attack, however, how to formulate it correctly, this idea of thoughts have been divided.
Members of the working group approved the proposal that permission to carry weapons in the territory of the UIS institution should give the head of this institution.
In the process of working with amendments, it turned out that my amendments on the use of DVRs and weapons were lost. It turned out that I sent it in the same file with an article in the State Duma simply did not realize that part of this text is amendments. Alas, here you can only scold yourself. I hope that today this text will still come to the committee. I bring the text of the amendment completely:
To supplement Article 28 with a new part 7: “When using physical force, special tools or weapons, a mandatory video recording of their use on a service video recorder is provided. In the absence of the technical possibility of implementing a video recording of the use of physical strength, special means or weapons, this circumstance is reflected in the act of an official audit conducted on behalf of the head of the territorial body of the penal system. Video recording of the use of physical force, special tools or weapons may not be carried out if such use was caused by unforeseen circumstances. ”
I really want to hope that joint efforts will be able to write such amendments that will not sink the zones in the blood and will not open the way to the lawlessness of those penitentiary employees who do not have to work well but know how to beat well.
