History

Earlier, on the site of the correctional colony, there was a medical and labor dispensary No. 2, created by order of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs in 1974. Correctional colony No. 2 was formed on its basis through reorganization in 1994 by order of the head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Vladimir Region Administration. The reorganization was carried out by the staff of the institution. The first prisoner entered the colony on 19 August 1996.[7]

In 2005, the first online school in Russia for prisoners without a complete secondary education was opened in the Pokrov colony. Classes are compulsory for prisoners aged 18–30. For prisoners over 30 years of age, classes are optional. The school operates in a distance format on the basis of the Petushinskaya regional evening educational school.[7]

Also in 2005, on the territory of IK-2 in Pokrov, on the initiative of the prisoners, a place was consecrated for the construction of a church in honor of the Holy New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia. Less than four years later, in 2008, the temple was built and consecrated by the

Eulogius.[7]

In 2007, a branch of the Federal State Professional Educational Institution No. 46 of the Federal Penitentiary Service was opened in the colony. Prisoners can receive a secondary vocational education in the specialties "woodworking machine operator", "metalworking machine operator" and "sewing equipment operator".[7]
