How to write a paper on the food zone. Parcels and deliveries to prisoners. What to take with you to your cell

What products and things can be transferred to the pre-trial detention center?

One of the most frequently asked questions among relatives and friends of a person under investigation or a prisoner is the question - what can be transferred to the pre-trial detention center from food and things? In this article we will look at many variations of answers and try to give the most detailed answer to this popular question.

A small but very important introduction:
The list of food products and basic necessities varies between pre-trial detention centers (SIZOs) and correctional colonies (CIS), as well as between different SIZOs of the same city. Although there is a clear one for all pre-trial detention centers of the criminal correctional system of the Russian Federation.
Give a clear answer to the question why there are different permitted products in different pre-trial detention centers no one can. There are only rhetorical answers that are justified only by the private practice of various sources on which this article is based. Practice shows that this depends on the poor awareness of the FSIN workers in the transfer bureau, on the fact that the transfer bureau workers only have a general list of products and items, but not a detailed one. It also depends on the mood of the pre-trial detention center employee and other unexplained factors.

General and specific review of the list of permitted products in a pre-trial detention center.
In connection with the above, let's look at the permitted products in pre-trial detention centers located within the city of Moscow. Let's consider both a general list for all pre-trial detention centers and a specific one for each specific detention center.

List of permitted products and things for each of the pre-trial detention centers:
ATTENTION! The table below is approximate and not exact, because The list of permitted products and things changes during different shifts of pre-trial detention center employees! For example, on 01.02 dry cream is allowed in FKU SIZO-1/77, but on 08.02 it is no longer possible.

If a loved one is in distress, you have to think about how to alleviate his situation with food and personal belongings. But even if there is an opportunity to purchase expensive and rare products, they are unlikely to be missed. Therefore, first you need to find out what can be transferred to a pre-trial detention center and what cannot.

Rules reception transfers

If a person is in isolation, relatives can transmit him essentials, food, etc. This rule is observed not only in Russia, but also in Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, etc. A certain transfer procedure has been established, which consists of the following stages:

  1. Completing and submitting an application.
  2. Providing the transfer for verification.

Parcels are checked very carefully, so you need to have an idea of ​​what items are prohibited for delivery. This is done specifically so that the convicted person does not receive them. To speed up the verification procedure, you need to properly prepare for it. For example, buy some of the necessary things in the prison store. Then they won't be examined so closely. The weight of the parcel must be no more than 30 kg. There are no such restrictions only for pregnant women, minors, etc.

Drawing up an application

As soon as a relative of a person staying in a pre-trial detention center arrives at the detention center, he is required to submit an application. Without this document, he will not be allowed to transfer things and products. Sample document You can take it from the detention center staff or download it on the Internet. The application contains the following information:

  • The applicant's full name, address and degree of relationship with the prisoner;
  • request to transfer the parcel to the prisoner (full name);
  • compiling an inventory of transferred items;
  • date, personal signature.

An official statement is submitted to the authorized employee of the detention center. He checks the specified list of things. If there are no prohibited items there, then he puts his signature on the application, thereby authorizing the transfer. This is followed by a thorough check of the contents of the parcel. If everything is in order, then the authorized officer of the pre-trial detention center is obliged to allow it to be sent to the prisoner.

The sender must draw up an application in two copies so that the second document reaches the recipient of the parcel. Then he can compare the list of things with the contents.

Items permitted for transfer

There is a special list of necessary items permitted for transfer, indicating a certain quantity. If we talk about food, then the prisoner can be sent:

  1. Vegetable oil. The maximum quantity is 3 liters.
  2. Instant noodles. Typically, no more than 25–30 packets are allowed to be transmitted at a time. And it’s better to buy it locally so that the packages are not opened during inspection.
  3. Bouillon cubes. No more than 500 grams.
  4. Tea. Preferably leafy. It is transferred in two bags, the first is for the “common fund”, and the second will be received by the prisoner.
  5. Cookies – no more than 2 kg.
  6. Salted lard. Must be cut into thin pieces.
  7. Sausage. The allowed quantity is 2 sticks. The sausage must be smoked, as “varenka” is not allowed.
  8. Canned food, meat and fish. 1-2 cans will be enough, since according to the rules they are opened, which means they will quickly spoil.
  9. Candies. Better caramel, not chocolate.
  10. Honey Must be transparent and placed in a plastic container.
  11. Butter. Grilled, or even better, lard.
  12. Groats. It can be transferred only when the porridge is quickly cooked (steamed). If even short-term cooking is required, such grains will not be missed. This also applies to potatoes (it is better to transfer the concentrate in bags).
  13. Almost all vegetables (fresh) are skipped. Garlic and onions are especially popular.
  14. Fruits. It is better to put apples as they last longer. Dried fruits are also allowed.
  15. Cigarettes. This is known to be internal currency, so even a non-smoking prisoner must be given them. You can find out on the spot how much you can send. In addition, it is better to buy them in the store at the pre-trial detention center, otherwise all the packs will be opened.
  16. The administration allows the transfer of citric acid, milk powder and tomato paste. But the container must be transparent.
  17. Condensed milk. But not boiled, since at the checkpoint it will definitely be poured into another container.
  18. Other products. For example, bread, cheeses, etc.

Help: This is a standard list of permitted products for transfer. And homemade food is not included in it.

When it comes to medications, the rules are much stricter. You cannot send any medications, as only those prescribed by a local health worker will be allowed through. During the first transfer, in addition to the products, you need to send:

  1. Underwear (5 pieces per month).
  2. Socks (10 pairs per month).
  3. Laundry soap (2–3).
  4. Toothpaste, brush.
  5. Jacket, boots.
  6. Thermal underwear (if necessary).
  7. Boiler, electric razor (for men).
  8. Plastic or aluminum utensils.

In other words, these should be personal hygiene items, etc. There is no need to transfer them often; one transfer is enough for a month. There may be problems with other things. For example, it is very difficult to transfer books. Bedding (blanket, pillow, linen) is usually provided in the isolation ward.

As for the telephone, the procedure for keeping it in a pre-trial detention center prohibits its transfer, but if necessary, this rule can be circumvented. If it is possible to transfer the TV, then you should talk about this with the head of the pre-trial detention center. That is, you first need to make an appointment and get permission in order of priority. You will need documents for the equipment.

Prohibited Products

A relative can transfer things to a man or woman in a pre-trial detention center only if they are not on the list of prohibited items. These include:

  1. Products that require long-term heat treatment for preparation.
  2. Vacuum sealed food.
  3. Any products with a shelf life of less than 72 hours.
  4. Alcohol, drugs and psychotropic substances.
  5. Weapons and items for their manufacture.
  6. Money and valuables.
  7. Watch.
  8. Maps (both playing and topographical).
  9. Photographic equipment.
  10. Pornographic materials.
  11. Drawing tools (except pens and pencils).
  12. Military uniform.
  13. Tools for electronic computing.
  14. Perfumes or other alcohol-based liquids.

What can be included in the parcel and what cannot be checked with the pre-trial detention center staff.

Delivery methods

There are several ways to send a parcel. Relatives of prisoners can, if necessary, use any of them:

  1. Personal visit. The easiest way to control the procedure is to hand over the parcel yourself. Naturally, this method is suitable if the pre-trial detention center is located close to the place of residence.
  2. Sending a parcel. This method has a number of disadvantages, for example, the delivery time. In addition, if you send a parcel, the cargo may be seriously damaged.
  3. Order through the online store. At the same time, you don’t even need to collect the parcel, since everything is done by the service employees. You just need to select the necessary items or products so that the recipient receives them within a few days. The only drawback is the small number of similar sites.

All that can be done for the prisoner is to give him as much food and personal belongings as possible. You should definitely take care of cigarettes and tea, as this local currency will be very useful (especially at first).
