Cherkasy Correctional Colony (No. 62) was a penal institution that was part of the system of the State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine and ensured the execution of criminal sentences in the form of imprisonment in accordance with the requirements of Ukrainian legislation.

For many years, the institution carried out the isolation of convicts, organized their social and educational work, professional training, and engagement in paid labour, and ensured the implementation of other functions assigned to penal institutions.

Within the framework of reforming the penitentiary system of Ukraine and optimizing the network of penal institutions, the activities of the State Institution “Cherkasy Correctional Colony (No. 62)” were terminated.

The institution has been removed from the list of active penal institutions and is no longer used to hold convicts.

At present, information regarding the future use of the institution’s property complex is absent in open official sources.

Cherkasy Correctional Colony (No. 62) is part of the history of the establishment and development of the Ukrainian penitentiary system and is mentioned in archival materials and documents of the State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine.
