The Federal Penitentiary Service decided to establish the amount of the monthly salary supplement for honored workers of the penal system of the Russian Federation. A draft of the corresponding order of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia was issued in connection with the establishment of this honorary title.

The same 50% increase in salary will be received by employees awarded the badge “Honorary Worker of the Penitentiary System” ;, as well as employees of the penal system who were awarded Gold Star medals.
