Selydove Correctional Colony (No. 82)

State Institution "Selydove Correctional Colony (No. 82)" was part of the structure of the State Criminal-Executive Service of Ukraine and ensured the execution of sentences in the form of imprisonment in accordance with the requirements of Ukraine's criminal-executive legislation.

The institution was located in the Donetsk region and for a long time functioned as a correctional colony for the detention of male convicts. The colony carried out measures regarding employment, vocational training, and social-educational work aimed at the resocialization of the convicts.

After the start of the full-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and the significant deterioration of the security situation in the territory of the Donetsk region in 2022, the evacuation of convicts to other institutions of the State Criminal-Executive Service of Ukraine was carried out.

Evacuation measures were conducted to ensure the life and safety of the persons serving sentences, as well as the institution's staff.

After the evacuation of the convicts, State Institution "Selydove Correctional Colony (No. 82)" effectively ceased the performance of functions regarding the detention of convicts.

The future state of the institution's property complex and the prospects for the restoration of its activities depend on the security situation and decisions of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine.

Thus, State Institution "Selydove Correctional Colony (No. 82)" belongs to those institutions of the State Criminal-Executive Service of Ukraine from which convicts were evacuated in 2022 in connection with combat operations and the necessity to ensure their safety.
