Jonny Tickle The head of Russia’s Federation of Migrants has slammed suggestions by the country’s Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) that prisoners could be used to replace foreign workers, noting that many immigrants are highly skilled.
Vadim Kozhenov’s comments came after prison head Alexander Kalashnikov suggested that convicts should be put to work to help fix the country’s acute shortage of labor migrants due to the Covid-19 crisis. The Federation of Migrants is an advocacy group for foreigners living in Russia.
“Who will educate [the prisoners]?” Kozhenov asked online publication Podyom.
“Migrants are sufficiently qualified. [But] the FSIN would have to somehow organize all the prisoners and try to understand who is a bricklayer, who is a plasterer, and who is a carpenter.”
