On the use of labor of criminals.
( Approved by the Politburo of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks on June 27, 1929 ).
1 . Those convicted by the judicial authorities of the Union and the Union republics to imprisonment for terms of three years or more should be transferred and transferred from now on to serve their imprisonment in camps organized by the OGPU.
Provide the courts with the right, in exceptional cases when passing sentences when they are clearly unsuitable for physical labor or mitigating circumstances, to specifically stipulate in the sentence the replacement of the camp by other types of imprisonment.
Note : The selection of those already convicted, transferred on the basis of this decree, is carried out locally by special commissions chaired by a representative of the NKYu, composed of representatives of the OGPU and NKVD.
2 . For the reception of these prisoners, the OGPU expand the existing and organize new concentration camps (on the territory of Ukhta and other remote areas) in order to colonize these areas and exploit their natural resources through the use of prison labor.
3 . For the gradual colonization of areas in which concentration camps will be organized, it is proposed to the OGPU, together with the NKJ of the RSFSR and other interested departments, to urgently develop a number of measures, based on the following principles:
a) early transfer to a free settlement in the same area of prisoners who deserve their behavior or distinguished themselves at work, although they have not served their imprisonment term, with the provision of the necessary assistance;
b) leaving in a settlement in a given area with the allotment of land to prisoners who have served their time of imprisonment, but deprived by the court of the right to free choice of residence and
c) settlement by those prisoners who have served a sentence of imprisonment, but voluntarily wish to remain in the settlement in the area.
4 . On the prisoners of this group; serving isolation in the concentration camps of the OGPU, to distribute the current Regulation on the camps of the OGPU, both in terms of remuneration of prisoners and their maintenance, regime, internal regulations, etc.
5 . All other persons sentenced to imprisonment and not falling under paragraphs. 1-4 of this resolution remain under the jurisdiction of the NKVD of the Union republics, which must revise their network of places of deprivation of liberty in order to correctly locate them in relation to the following purpose: a) places of deprivation of liberty for persons sentenced to three years, b) places of deprivation of liberty for persons under investigation and c) transit points.
6 . To propose to the NKVD of the Union republics to conduct their further work towards the full use of persons deprived of liberty from 1 to 3 years in specially organized agricultural or industrial colonies in order to reduce to a minimum the current places of deprivation of liberty, while retaining the functions of isolation wards for persons under investigation and transit points.
