Kryzhopil Correctional Centre (No. 113)

The state institution “Kryzhopil Correctional Centre (No. 113)” traces its origins to the special commandant's office of the Kryzhopil District Department of Internal Affairs of the Vinnytsia Regional Department of Internal Affairs. In accordance with the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine No. 632 dated 17 November 1992, “On the Reorganisation of the Special Commandant's Office of the Kryzhopil District Department of Internal Affairs into a Correctional-Labour Settlement Colony for persons who have firmly embarked on the path of correction,” the special commandant's office was reorganised into a correctional-labour settlement colony from 15 December 1992.

Subsequently, in connection with the reform of the criminal enforcement system of Ukraine, by the Order of the State Department of Ukraine for the Execution of Sentences No. 165 dated 29 November 1999, the institution was renamed the Kryzhopil Correctional Colony of the State Department of Ukraine for the Execution of Sentences in the Vinnytsia region. From 1 January 2004, the institution was reorganised into a minimum-security colony with light conditions of detention. The next stage of reform was the re-profiling of the institution into an open-type penal institution — the Kryzhopil Correctional Centre. The corresponding decision was made by Order of the State Department of Ukraine for the Execution of Sentences No. 219 dated 21 November 2004 and entered into force on 1 January 2005.

The institution specialises in organising the labour of convicts and developing production activities. Over the years, the production facility has mastered the manufacture of cabinet furniture, joinery products, woodworking products, and has operated sections for the production of paving slabs and other building materials. The production activities of the institution have traditionally been aimed at ensuring the employment of convicts and their social adaptation.

Over the years, the institution has been headed by A. L. Tverdokhlebov, S. F. Belienko, M. A. Olivenko, P. A. Turskyi, and others.

Currently, the head of the institution is Oleh Petrovych BRYLYANT.
