Parcels to Moscow pre-trial detention centres will be delivered via online shops

The Department of the Federal Penitentiary Service for Moscow plans to organise the sale and delivery of goods to persons held in pre-trial detention centres upon the requests of their relatives via online shops, as reported by the acting head of the capital’s FSIN Department, Viktor Dezhurov.
The receipt of parcels via the internet from relatives and loved ones is planned to be organised for citizens located in seven pre-trial detention centres in Moscow. Anyone will be able to make such an order by filling out a special form on the website. “The detainee or convict will have the ordered goods delivered and, after the appropriate inspection, they will be handed over against a receipt,” said Dezhurov.
Such a form of parcel delivery already exists in St. Petersburg in Pre-trial Detention Centre No. 1 “Kresty”.
