1. THE CONCEPT OF CRIMINAL POLICY

Policy - this is a superstructural category, the content of which is determined by the economic basis. The place that a policy occupies determines its relation to other elements of the superstructure, in particular to law.

Law is a means of expressing and enshrining politics. Politics and law are dialectically connected, therefore law also has an impact on politics, which is expressed through the implementation of norms that enshrine the principles of politics.

Politics influences the creation and development of the legal system, various branches of legislation, and legal forms.

Policy defines the principles strategy, main directions and ways to achieve the social goals that society sets for itself.

Russia's policy is aimed at building a state of law and creating conditions that ensure a decent life and free development of a person.

An important place in social policy is occupied by the policy in the field of combating crime. Law enforcement policy state determines the goals, principles, strategy, main directions, forms and methods of state control over crime.

It aimed at protecting the rights and legitimate interests citizens from crime.

Article 2 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation regulates that human rights are the highest value.

Recognition, observance and protection of the rights and freedoms of man and citizen is the duty of the state.

The content of state policy in the field of combating crime determines the activities of the state, its authorities and administrations for the prevention of crimes and other offenses, the prevention of their commission, the timely suppression, the implementation of the responsibility of persons who have committed a crime, the execution of punishment in relation to convicts and the achievement of its goals.

Criminal policy defines measures of criminal-legal impact on crime. State policy carries out its functions in the field of execution of punishment, has a narrower content than criminal policy. Penitentiary policy defines:

- goals;

- principles;

- strategy;

- the direction of the state;

- the main forms and methods of execution of punishment. Penitentiary policy also has an impact on criminal policy and state policy on the prevention and prevention of crime.

Penitentiary policy of Russia is based on the relevant provisions developed by the international community, international acts on the treatment of convicts.

Problems of punishment execution and correction of convicts considered by criminal, penal law, correctional pedagogy, correctional psychology.

The main form of implementation of the penitentiary policy is penal legislation. The penitentiary policy is currently enshrined in the Penitentiary Code, in other laws and by-laws related to the execution and serving of sentences.

In this way, penal policy is not a special policy, divorced from the general political line of the Russian state, is part of a single policy of the state, directly arising from the criminal policy.

2. PRINCIPLES OF THE CRIMINAL EXECUTIVE POLICY, INCLUDED IN THE LEGISLATION

Principles of penitentiary policy - these are general guidelines arising from the requirements of state policy, penetrating the entire content of the activities of the relevant bodies in the execution of criminal penalties.

The principles of the penitentiary policy are enshrined in the rule of law.

There are three groups of principles:

- general legal.

- intersectoral.

- branch.

general legal principles

1. The principle of legality. The basis of the purpose of this principle is the steady observance and exact implementation of laws and by-laws by all bodies, institutions and officials executing punishment. The facts of lawlessness in places of deprivation of liberty are of increased public danger, since they contribute to the growth of recidivism.

2. The principle of humanism. First of all, it is expressed in the fact that society does not reject the criminal as its member, but seeks to correct him.

Humanism is manifested in a fair attitude towards convicts, respect for their honor and dignity. The execution of punishments is not intended to cause physical suffering or to humiliate the dignity of a person.

Intersectoral principles

The principle of differentiation in the execution of punishments. The principle of differentiation reflects the need to distribute the entire mass of convicts into homogeneous categories according to the types of correctional institutions.

There are special colonies for foreigners and stateless persons, by sex (male and female), by age, i.e. colonies for minors.

According to the severity of the crime committed - strict regime colonies.

According to the committed recidivism of the crime - special regime colonies. There are colonies for law enforcement officers. Differentiation causes the establishment by law for each category of convicts of its own complex of restrictions.

The principle of individualization

The principle of individualization is expressed in the requirement of a strict individual approach to each convict, i.e., in the choice of measures of influence that are necessary for this particular convict.

Individualization of punishment at the stage of its execution means: At first, change in the amount of punishment depending on the behavior of the convict, Secondly, change in the content of the correction.

In other words, the individualization of punishment at the stage of its execution results in the individualization of the punitive-educational influence as a whole.

industry principles

The principle of the rational application of coercive measures, means of correction and stimulation of their lawful behavior states that punishment should not only punish, but also correct, educate the convict.

Correction of convicts, being the goal of criminal punishment (Part 2, Article 43 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), is achieved by applying to convicts the main means of correction in the execution of punishment.

Means of correction of convicts are applied taking into account the type of punishment, the nature and degree of social danger of the crime committed, the personality of the convict.

Thus, the implementation of the principles requires the fulfillment of the main task. The main task of social influence, as well as other means of correction, is to increase the efficiency of the administration of correctional institutions, aimed at achieving the goals of criminal punishment.

3. THE CONCEPT OF CRIMINAL AND EXECUTIVE LAW

The main form of expression and consolidation of penal policy is penal law. To give the concept of penal law means to define its tasks, functions, subject and method of regulation, which, in turn, requires disclosure of the penal legal relationship, the norms and system of penal legislation.

Initially, it was believed that corrective labor law is a specific sub-branch of criminal law.

With the development of corrective labor legislation, it was found out that penitentiary law is a complex branch of law.

Accordingly, there is a gradual tendency towards the allocation of corrective labor law into an independent branch.

Penitentiary law is one of the leading branches of Russian law, aimed at implementing the norms of substantive law. It differs significantly from other, including related, branches of law, having its own specific tasks, its own subject and its own method of regulation.

At the same time, penitentiary law is part of the general system of Russian law, and it has the main parts and principles inherent in the law of the Russian Federation at the present stage as a whole.

Penal Law - this is a branch of Russian law, which is a set of legal norms established by the highest bodies of state power, determining measures for the implementation of the norms of criminal law, based on the purpose of punishment and the system of punishments.

The independence of the Russian penitentiary law as a branch of law is determined by a number of its specific features.

First, the only criminal law is the legislative basis for determining the measure and punishability of acts, the grounds for criminal liability, the application of penalties and exemption from liability and penalties. No other branch of law has this characteristic.

Second, the criminal law has its own subject of regulation. They are only those relationships that arise in connection with the commission of a crime. No other branch of law can regulate these relations.

Third, criminal law is characterized by a special method of regulating these social relations. It consists in establishing the execution of punishment for the committed criminal unlawful act.

Penal Law consists of General and Special parts. Content general part constitute general provisions and principles of criminal law. All institutions of the General Part are tied to two fundamental concepts - crime and punishment. The law defines the objectives of criminal legislation and its principles; basis of criminal liability; the age at which criminal liability begins; where the person is placed to serve his sentence.

special part criminal law contains a description of the conditions for serving a sentence. The general and special parts of criminal law are closely related to each other, they constitute, on the whole, a single penitentiary law.

This unity is primarily due to the commonality of tasks. The norms of the General and Special parts in real life exist only together.

4. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF CRIMINAL-EXECUTIVE LAW

Penal Law aims to ensure the execution of criminal punishment, so that it is not only a punishment for a crime, but also corrects convicts in the spirit of an honest attitude to work, precise implementation of laws and respect for the rules of the hostel, and prevents the commission of crimes by both convicts and other persons.

Under punishment refers to certain activities of the relevant state body, designed to ensure that the convict serves the sentence imposed on him by the court.

In the general system of measures to combat crime, penal law fulfills its main goal - the correction of convicts.

Correction - this is the formation in convicts of a respectful attitude towards man, society, work, norms, rules and traditions of human society and the stimulation of law-abiding behavior. Achieving this goal means achieving the goal of private prevention, preventing crimes by convicts and indirectly affects the achievement of the goal of general prevention - general prevention.

Previously, before the execution of punishment, the goal was to correct and re-educate the convicts.

Correction and re-education have different semantic meanings in moral and legal aspects.

In the moral aspect, correction means a change for the better of individual views, individual aspects of a person, when, as a whole, the personality does not need a radical restructuring.

Re-education - this is a reworking of a person's consciousness in the process of overcoming his fundamentally wrong views and ideas.

In the legal aspect, correction is such a change in the personality of a criminal that turns him into a safe and harmless person for society. To correct means to achieve a position where a person no longer commits crimes.

Reeducation is the correction of the criminal plus the education of him as a conscious member of society.

The purpose of private prevention is to prevent convicts from committing new crimes both during the period of punishment and after it has been served.

The execution of punishment also aims to prevent the commission of a crime by other persons, i.e., it realizes the goal of general prevention.

Thus, the objectives of the penitentiary law, as it were, follow one from the other, being links in one chain. The task of one link follows from the task of the previous one, it also serves as a means of a new task in the next link.

The purpose of criminal executive law in the strict sense of the word is to ensure the execution of punishment. This means creating conditions under which punishment would fulfill its main goal - the correction of convicts.

At the same time, the correction of convicts is a means of achieving the goal of preventing them from committing new crimes, that is, the goal of private prevention. Strict and precise execution of punishment is necessary to achieve the goal of preventing crime by other persons - the goal of general prevention.

Thus, the achievement of all these goals is aimed at meeting the goal set for all law enforcement agencies - to contribute to the reduction of crime.

5. METHODS AND FUNCTIONS OF CRIMINAL-EXECUTIVE LAW

Law function is an activity aimed at regulating social relations.

The functions of law are: 1) the function of organizing public relations; 2) the function of protecting public relations.

The following can be distinguished methods of penal law:

- permission;

- prescription;

- ban.

All three methods of legal regulation can be found in various branches of law, but in some branches permission is decisive, in others - prescription, in others - prohibition. Methods also include:

- imperative - this is a method according to the method of legal regulation;

- prohibiting - this is a method according to the method of influencing people's behavior;

- punitive - this is a method according to the nature of the impact;

- sanctions method is a method according to the method of implementation;

- by nature of connections between participants in legal relations - the method of power and subordination. The main method of penal law is imperative.

Methods of influence are not limited to the application of punishment for violation of the norms of the penal legislation, but nevertheless, the punitive method serves as the main method by which the state enforces compliance with these norms.

The above methods of legal regulation in each branch of law may have additional characteristics, act as specific methods, representing the specification of intersectoral methods.

Thus, protective criminal law relations are regulated by the following methods: application of sanctions of criminal law (criminal punishment); exemption from criminal liability and punishment (including the application of coercive educational measures to minors who have committed a crime); the application of coercive medical measures to persons in a state of insanity who committed socially dangerous acts prohibited by criminal law, and to persons who, after committing a crime, developed a mental disorder.

Social relations arising from a criminal law prohibition are regulated by establishing this prohibition. Its specificity lies in the fact that it prohibits the most socially dangerous acts, as well as in the severity of the legal consequences that occur for a person who has violated a criminal law prohibition (failure to comply with it is associated, as noted, with the threat of using the strictest type of state coercion - criminal punishment).

The punitive method singled out by the penitentiary law, by its nature, affects persons who have been sentenced to the actual serving of a sentence for committing a socially dangerous act, which accordingly prevents socially dangerous consequences.

Penitentiary law also implements the sanctions prescribed by the sentence. Analysis of the subject and method of criminal law allows us to formulate the concept of criminal law as a branch of law.

Penitentiary law is a branch of law that combines legal norms that establish the legal status of convicts, institutions and organizations that control the activities of these institutions. Penitentiary law regulates the system of serving sentences in the form of deprivation of liberty.

6. CRIMINAL AND EXECUTIVE LEGAL RELATIONSHIPS

Penitentiary legal relations of penitentiary law have the following elements: 1) subjects of legal relations; 2) object of legal relations; 3) content of legal relations.

Subjects of criminal-executive legal relations - These are individuals or legal entities that have certain rights and obligations that are regulated by the rule of law.

The subjects of penitentiary legal relations primarily include institutions and bodies that execute punishments (Article 16 of the PEC). Each institution or body is entrusted with the execution of a certain type of punishment.

The subjects of criminal-executive legal relations can be prosecutors who supervise the observance of laws by the administration of institutions and bodies that implement punishment.

Object of criminal-executive legal relations

Social relations cannot fail to develop if there is no social value, a necessity that connects people with each other, so there is no need to enter into empty non-objective relations.

Summarizing the above, it should be noted that the object of legal relations, including penitentiary ones, is that social value, about which social relations are formed.

The content of penitentiary legal relations - this is a set of rights and obligations of subjects established by the norms of penal law, and the corresponding behavior of the subjects of these legal relations.

When analyzing social relations, it should be borne in mind that the subjective rights of one side correspond to the legal duties of the other, there are no rights without duties, and there are no duties without rights.

In penitentiary legal relations, the rights of state bodies in the field of organizing the corrective labor process correspond to the duties of convicts arising from the procedure for serving their sentence.

Subjective rights of subjects of legal relations

The subjective right is the type and measure of the permitted behavior of the subject and the possibility based on the rules of law on his part to demand certain actions from others or refrain from certain actions.

The behavior of convicts must comply with the internal regulations of correctional institutions, which apply measures of influence, encouragement and punishment in order to ensure the appropriate behavior of convicts. The administration of correctional institutions, in order to ensure the regime in places of deprivation of liberty, has the right to subject convicts to searches, to apply penalties, warnings, up to placement in a punishment cell and transfer to a cell-type room.

Legal obligations of subjects of criminal-executive legal relations

A legal duty is a type and measure of a person's official behavior corresponding to the subjective right of another person. In general, the legal obligation of the bodies executing the punishment is the organization of the execution of the punishment.

Thus, the actual content of the criminal-executive legal relationship is the actual activity of the subjects of these legal relations: on the one hand, the activity of state bodies in executing punishment, and on the other hand, the behavior of convicts during the period of serving their sentence, determined by their rights and responsibilities.

7. NORMS OF CRIMINAL AND EXECUTIVE LAW

Regulation of legal relations is carried out by the rules of law.

In turn, the regulation of penitentiary legal relations is carried out with the help of the norms of penitentiary law.

Being regulator of public relations, formed as a result of the execution of criminal penalties, the norms of penal law establish the procedure and conditions for these penalties and thereby regulate the process of corrective action.

In fact, the norms of penitentiary law regulate the behavior of subjects of penitentiary legal relations.

But it should be noted that their behavior is determined not only by the norms of criminal law. Thus, the management of correctional institutions is regulated by the norms of administrative law, contractual relations - by the norms of civil law, the relations that develop when a convicted person commits a new crime are determined by the norms of criminal and criminal procedural law.

Regulation of the behavior of subjects is carried out by establishing their rights and obligations.

The norms of penitentiary law, firstly, establish restrictions on the use of general rights of citizens, and secondly, provide for specific rights and obligations of convicts.

For example, in Art. 120 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation, the hypothesis of the norm, according to which the convict can be transferred to lighter conditions of detention, will be the words: "In the absence of penalties for violations of a certain procedure for serving a sentence and a conscientious attitude to work, after serving at least six months of the sentence under normal conditions" .

As a rule, the norms of penal law consist of a disposition.

As a rule, dispositions are taken out of normative acts, for example, in an appendix to normative acts.

Sanctions of the penitentiary norm can be disciplinary in nature or be realized in material liability.

It may consist in changing the conditions of detention of the convicted person, for example, in the form of transferring the convicted person from a colony-settlement to a correctional colony, or from a correctional colony to prison.

The sanction determines the consequences of violation of the rules of conduct of the convict established by the norm. At the same time, the sanction of the norm of penitentiary law, unlike the norm of criminal law, may be in one article (Article 115 of the Penal Code), but applied for violation of the rules of conduct established in other articles of the Penitentiary Code.

Although the norms of penal law have a structure consisting of three parts, however, not all of them have a hypothesis, a disposition, and a sanction. Often they are located in different articles of the law.

Moreover, there may be norms that do not have any of the three elements. These are norms that formulate general provisions, tasks of penal legislation.

The division into types of penitentiary norms is developed for several reasons, for example, for social purposes: regulated, law enforcement, special.

Thus, this classification is of fundamental importance for legal relations that are regulated by the rule of law.

8. SYSTEM OF CRIMINAL AND EXECUTIVE LAW

Under legal system refers to a list of normative acts ordered in a certain way. The system of penal legislation is formed by a set of legal norms that determine the execution of a criminal punishment imposed by a court.

System of penal legislation - it is, first of all, an ordered set, the individual parts of which occupy strictly defined places within this system and are in a certain dependence on the legal force of a particular normative act.

The Constitution of the Russian Federation - the basis and source of penal legislation.

According to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, penal legislation is under the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation. This provision means that the adoption of laws regulating the execution of sentences is within the federal competence of the Russian Federation. The main legislative act in the field of execution of criminal penalties is the Penitentiary Code, adopted by the State Duma on December 18, 1996, approved by the Federation Council on December 25, 1996, and entered into force on July 1, 1997.

The Penitentiary Code consists of General and Special Parts (eight sections).

The general part contains the main provisions of the penitentiary legislation, considers the legal status of convicts and indicates which institutions and bodies execute punishments and who exercises control over their activities. This is the subject of the first section of the Code.

The special part consists of seven sections, which deal with the following issues: types of execution of sentences related to deprivation of liberty.

The second main legislative act in the field of execution of criminal penalties is the Law of the Russian Federation of July 21, 1993 "On institutions and bodies executing criminal punishment in the form of deprivation of liberty." It examines in detail the organization and procedure for the activities of institutions and bodies executing this type of punishment, as well as the basic rights and obligations of employees of the penitentiary system.

There are other laws in the field of execution of criminal penalties. The Government of the Russian Federation and individual ministries (internal affairs, justice) may also issue other normative acts that are not included in the system of penitentiary legislation, but also subject to execution if adopted on the basis of and in pursuance of the current penitentiary legislation.

Thus, on June 16, 1997, the Regulations on Penitentiary Inspections were adopted. It defines the tasks of these bodies for the execution of punishments not related to isolation from society, their main duties and rights. On June 4, 1997, the Regulations on the disciplinary military unit were adopted. It defines the tasks and functions of these military units.

Thus, penitentiary law as an independent branch of law is a system of legal norms established by state authorities that regulate social relations arising in the process of execution of criminal penalties.

9. HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF CRIMINAL-EXECUTIVE LEGISLATION

Branch of legislation is a set of laws that regulate social relations related to the subject of its regulation.

Accordingly, the under penal law understand the system of laws governing the whole range of social relations that arise in connection with and in the process of serving a sentence and applying corrective measures to convicts.

Initially, it was considered that penitentiary law is a specific part, a sub-branch of criminal law.

With the development of corrective labor legislation, the inclusion in it of the norms of criminal, criminal procedure, labor, administrative law, the point of view was expressed that corrective labor law is a complex branch of law. But gradually there is a trend towards the allocation of corrective labor law into an independent branch.

According to Art. 71 of the Constitution The Russian Federation is in charge of the criminal executive legislation. The provision formulated by the Constitution means that the adoption of laws governing the execution of punishments is in the federal competence.

At present, the main source is penal code, which regulates the execution of all types of criminal penalties, in turn, penitentiary law includes the Penitentiary Code and other federal laws.

therefore as the penitentiary legislation developed, by-laws were adopted to regulate the execution of criminal penalties.

In turn, the Federal Laws "On Enforcement Proceedings" and "On Bailiffs" were adopted, which regulate the development of provisions penal code, as well as the procedure for the execution of such types of punishments as a fine and confiscation of property.

Penal Code provides for the adoption other federal laws regulating social relations arising in connection with the execution of punishments.

The Penitentiary Code provides for the adoption of laws regarding social assistance after release from punishment and controls the implementation of constitutional norms over what is happening.

Federal laws, both in force and to be adopted - drafts, form a branch of penitentiary legislation.

Criminal executive legislation regulates social relations related to the subject penal law.

By-laws can be divided into two categories: RF Government decrees and other regulations.

The regulation on penitentiary inspections of June 16, 1997 defines the tasks of the penitentiary inspection of the bodies for the execution of sentences.

From this it follows that penitentiary law began to actively develop as an independent branch of law only at the end of the XNUMXth century.

10. INTERNATIONAL LEGAL STANDARDS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CONVINCED

International standards for the treatment of prisoners can be classified on three grounds: scope of action; specialization; obligation for states.

Standards are divided into two groups according to their scope: 1) universal; 2) regional.

Universal - these are standards developed by the UN, and regional - by the Council of Europe or other regional associations of states.

By specialization, universal standards for the treatment of convicts are classified into two types: 1) acts of a general nature, not specifically intended to regulate the treatment of convicts, but containing separate standards of interest to us; 2) acts of a specialized nature that determine the standards for the treatment of convicts.

On duty for states - applied standards can be classified into two main categories: mandatory norms; principles and general provisions.

Norms - These are the rules that govern the legal relationship between the subject and the object.

All institutions of penal legislation are based on the norms. The need for this classification is related to separating mandatory norms from recommendatory ones.

Advisory norms These are norms that give the subject the right to choose. Mandatory norms These are norms that must be followed without the right to choose. In the event that standards, principles and general provisions are mandatory for each country that has ratified the relevant international acts, then the standards, recommendations are implemented by one state or another to the extent that there are necessary economic, political and other prerequisites for their implementation.

Based on the above classifications the following universal norms adopted by the UN can be included in the system of existing international acts on the treatment of convicts: 1) the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948);

2) UN Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (1963);

3) Declaration of the Rights of the Child (1959);

4) International Act on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1966);

5) International act on civil and political rights (1966);

6) Declaration on the rights of mentally retarded persons (1971).

Also of great importance are the following regulations:

1) Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials (1979);

2) Principles of Medical Ethics Relating to the Role of Health Professionals, Especially Physicians, in Protecting Prisoners or Detainees from Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (1982);

3) Measures guaranteeing the protection of the rights of those sentenced to death (1984);

4) United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice (Beijing Rules 1985);

5) Body of Principles for the Protection of All Persons under Any Form of Detention or Imprisonment (1989).

Thus, the above-mentioned international acts show that their action is expediently disclosed in relation to two main areas of treatment of convicts: 1) when using measures not related to deprivation of liberty; 3) upon application of deprivation of liberty.

In this case, a significant number of specific principles operate in the areas under consideration, which require separate consideration of standards in each area.

11. STANDARD MINIMUM RULES FOR THE TREATMENT OF PRISONERS

Most of the international standards for the treatment of convicts relate to the punishment of deprivation of liberty. The bulk of the standards in this area are contained in Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners adopted by the United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Prisoners in 1955.

The main provisions of the considered standards can be divided into the following groups:

1) organization of generic and specific classification of persons deprived of liberty;

2) organization of microsocial conditions for serving the deprivation of liberty;

3) organization of the regime in places of deprivation of liberty;

4) organization of labor and professional training of persons deprived of their liberty.

The main provisions of the above rules:

- discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, language, religious, political and other beliefs, social origin, property status, family origin or social status unacceptable;

- different categories of prisoners should be held in separate institutions or in different parts of the same institution, taking into account their sex, age, previous convictions, legal reasons for their imprisonment and prescribed treatment;

- each of the prisoners should have a separate cell or room.

Placing two prisoners in one cell is not desirable. If this is necessary for special reasons, prisoners placed in a common cell should be carefully selected to ensure that they are able to live together.

- all premises, and especially sleeping rooms must meet sanitary requirements, correspond to climatic conditions, have an appropriate cubic capacity, lighting, heating and ventilation;

- in the premises where prisoners live and work, windows should provide fresh air access, be of sufficient size to enable prisoners to read and work in daylight. Artificial lighting must be sufficient to enable them to read without endangering their eyesight;

- each prisoner should have a separate bed with bedding;

- each must be provided with food nutritionally sufficient to maintain health, of good quality, well prepared and served;

- prisoners should provide physical training and the possibility of games. To do this, you need to have separate sites, installations and equipment;

- all institutions must have at least one psychologist on staff, a qualified dentist and therapist. The physician must daily receive or visit all patients and all who complain of illness;

- Physical punishment, confinement in a dark cell and cruel or degrading punishment should be banned as punishment for disciplinary offences. As punishment, restraints such as handcuffs, shackles, straitjackets or chains should never be used.

Thus, it follows from this that imprisonment and other measures that isolate criminals from the outside world cause them suffering already by virtue of the fact that they deprive them of the right to self-determination, since they deprive them of their freedom. The regime should minimize the difference between life in prison and life outside.

12. BASIS OF THE LEGAL STATUS OF THE CONVENTED

The Penitentiary Code of the Russian Federation is mainly based on international norms and standards in the field of the execution of criminal penalties and the treatment of convicts.

In particular, the legal status convicts in the penitentiary Russian legislation formed on the basis of general principles the position of a person and a citizen in society and the state, subject to protection, taking into account the requirements of international standards for the treatment of convicts.

The work of prisoners should not bring them suffering, they should be able to do the work of their choice.

In the execution of criminal sentences, convicts are guaranteed the rights and freedoms of citizens of the Russian Federation with exceptions and restrictions established by criminal, penitentiary and other legislation.

No other restrictions or infringements of their rights and freedoms are allowed. Convicts cannot be released from the performance of their civic duties, except in cases established by federal law.

It should be emphasized that such restrictions on rights include the following.

Convicts serving sentences cannot be drafted into the army, do not elect and cannot be elected to elected bodies.

Convicts on general grounds defend their violated rights and interests in court, both personally and through their representatives.

Convicts, in turn, have a number of rights.

They are entitled to maintain international relations, to the fullest extent - the subjects of copyright, inventive right, etc.

Convicted foreign citizens and stateless persons enjoy the rights and have obligations under international treaties and the legislation of the Russian Federation.

The specific legal status of the convict will be determined depending on the type of punishment, personal characteristics and behavior during the serving of the sentence. Corporal punishment, confinement in a dark cell and cruel or degrading forms of punishment should be prohibited as punishments for disciplinary offences.

As punishment, restraints such as handcuffs, shackles, straitjackets or chains should never be used.

Every institution must have a library available to all prisoners.

In institutions where there is a sufficient number of prisoners of the same religion, a qualified clergyman should be appointed or allowed to perform the rites.

Each institution should have social workers who take care of his family.

Thus, the penal legislation of the Russian Federation takes into account the international treaties of the Russian Federation and the recommendations (declarations) of international organizations on the execution of sentences and the treatment of convicts in accordance with economic and social opportunities.

Therefore, in accordance with the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, each convicted person must be provided with a separate cell (at least 12 square meters), but it is also clear that in modern conditions Russia cannot fulfill this requirement. The priority of international norms over domestic ones takes place only in cases of their contradiction and only in those cases when Russia, by virtue of the treaty, has assumed the obligation to fulfill them.

13. RIGHTS OF CONVENTED

The basic law includes the following rights of convicts.

The right of convicts to receive information about their rights and obligations, about the conditions for serving the sentence. The administration of the institution or body executing sentences is obliged to provide the convicts with the specified information, as well as to acquaint them with changes in the procedure and conditions for serving sentences.

The right to be treated with courtesy by staff is guaranteed by law.

In part 3 of Art. 12 of the Penal Code, in the development of international norms and the Fundamentals of the Legislation of the Russian Federation on the protection of the health of citizens (Article 29), establishes a ban on conducting medical and other experiments with convicts that endanger their life and health.

Federal Law of December 8, 2003 No. 161-FZ the right of convicts to psychological assistance, provided both by employees of the psychological service of the correctional institution, and by other persons entitled to such assistance, is enshrined. The participation of convicts in measures to provide psychological assistance is voluntary.

The implementation of this right is disclosed in Art. 15 of the Penal Code, which establishes the procedure for the treatment of convicts with proposals, statements and complaints in two forms:

1) regarding detention in a disciplinary military unit, imprisonment, death penalty - send their appeals only through the administration of institutions and bodies executing punishments;

2) persons sentenced to other types of punishments send their appeals on their own. Accordingly, the administration of the institutions and bodies indicated in paragraph 1 is entrusted with the responsibility of bringing the appeals of convicts to specific recipients.

Simultaneously censorship is suspended appeals of convicts, if the latter are sent to the bodies exercising control over the activities of institutions and bodies executing punishment.

The right to submit proposals, statements and complaints, to give official explanations and correspondence in the state language of the Russian Federation or its subjects at the place of serving the sentence. Use of native language by convicts this article is not guaranteed, since this may not be necessary: ​​the Code establishes that convicts serve their sentences, as a rule, at their place of permanent residence. Foreign citizens and stateless persons may use their native language or a language they know while serving their sentence. In these cases, the answers to the convicts are given in the language of the appeal. If it is not possible to give an answer in the language of the appeal, it is given in the state language of the Russian Federation with a translation into the language of the appeal.

Translation is provided by the institution or body executing punishment.

The right to health care, including all types of medical care. It includes primary health care and specialized medical care both in outpatient and inpatient settings, depending on the medical report.

Thus, while attaching particular importance to securing the above-mentioned fundamental rights of convicts, the legislator nevertheless establishes a certain procedure and limits for their implementation, which consist in the fact that they must not violate the procedure and conditions for serving a sentence and infringe on the rights and legitimate interests of others.

14. DUTIES OF CONVENTED

The main duties include those that ensure law and order during the serving of sentences or create conditions for the activities of institutions and bodies executing punishments.

Convicts must fulfill the obligations of its citizens established by the legislation of the Russian Federation, to comply with accepted in society moral code of conduct, the requirements of sanitation and hygiene, i.e., to comply with general civil duties.

But if in conditions of freedom citizens are free to set the limits for the fulfillment of such duties, then in places of deprivation of liberty certain requirements are imposed on these aspects of their life, which convicts are already obliged to comply with.

The convicts are obliged to comply with the requirements of federal laws that determine the procedure and conditions for serving sentences, as well as other normative legal acts adopted in accordance with them.

The norms on compliance with federal laws that determine the procedure and conditions for serving a sentence, normative legal acts adopted in accordance with them, as well as the fulfillment of the legal requirements of the administration of institutions and bodies executing punishment, constitute the legal basis for maintaining law and order during the execution of a criminal sentence.

The convicts have a special obligation to comply with the legal requirements of the administration of institutions and bodies executing punishment. Failure by the convict to comply with the demand made by the employee with reference to its illegality must be justified, for example the requirement is purely personal, not provided for by the legal norm, contrary to the law.

In order to ensure normal relations between convicts and staff, the law establishes a specific obligation for convicts to be polite to staff, other persons visiting institutions and bodies executing punishment, as well as to other convicts.

It should be noted, that if the requirements for a polite attitude towards staff and other persons are generally perceived positively by convicts and are mostly observed, then they are far from always succeeding in maintaining polite relations with each other. On this basis, most violations of the regime and crimes are committed.

To support the requirement that convicts fulfill this duty, strict supervision and control over their behavior in their places of residence, as well as the holding of extensive educational activities, help. Important, of course, are the example of the relationship of staff, as well as the form of treatment on the part of its individual members to convicts.

Another specific obligation of convicts is the obligation to appear when summoned by the administration of institutions and bodies executing punishment, and to give explanations on the implementation of the requirements of the sentence. The official may invite the convict to give explanations both orally and in writing. Refusal to give explanations entails the application of measures of influence provided for by law.

Failure by convicts to fulfill the duties assigned to them, as well as failure to comply with the lawful requirements of the administration, entails disciplinary or material liability established by law, in extreme cases, transfer to an institution with a stricter regime.

15. THE RIGHT OF CONVENTED TO PERSONAL SAFETY

Convicts have the right to personal security.

The right of convicts to personal security is guaranteed by a number of legal, psychological, pedagogical and organizational measures.

First of all, these are measures of a criminal law nature, providing for criminal liability for encroachment on life, health and personal integrity.

The means of ensuring the personal safety of convicts should include supervision of the behavior of convicts during the serving of their sentence.

Representing a system for monitoring and controlling the behavior of convicts, supervision has as one of its goals the prevention of crimes, including those committed against convicts.

An important means ensuring the personal safety of convicts is the use of security measures and weapons, as well as disciplinary measures against convicts.

Another important tool ensuring the personal security of convicts - preventive activities of operational units, security departments and other units of correctional institutions, arrest houses, correctional centers, disciplinary military units and internal affairs bodies to prevent crimes against convicts.

If there is a threat to the personal safety of the convict, he has the right to apply to any official of the institution executing sentences in the form of arrest, restriction of liberty or deprivation of liberty, with a request to ensure personal security. In this case, the specified official is obliged to immediately take measures to ensure the personal safety of the convict who applied.

Officials, at the request of the convict, are obliged to immediately take measures to ensure the personal safety of the convict who applied.

Applied to Correctional Institutions these can be actions to call a squad of controllers and escort the convict to a safe place, for example, from the hostel to the duty unit, or to detain a person who poses a danger to the convict, isolating him from other convicts. These are, as they can be called, the initial measures to eliminate the threat to the personal safety of the convict. Eliminate the threat to personal safety of the convict in the final form is assigned to the head of the correctional center, arrest house or correctional institution.

The head of the institution may decide:

1) on the transfer of the convicted person to a safe place - to a separate cell, a cell-type room until the threat to his personal safety is eliminated, or to another correctional center, arrest house or correctional institution, if the threat is of a long-term nature and cannot be completely eliminated;

2) on the adoption of other measures that eliminate the threat to the personal safety of the convict - the resolution of the conflict that has arisen between the convicts, bringing the person from whom the danger emanates to responsibility, transferring him to another institution.

Thus, convicted foreign citizens serving sentences of arrest, restriction or deprivation of liberty have the right to maintain contact with the diplomatic missions and consular offices of their states in the Russian Federation.

16. ENSURING THE FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE AND FREEDOM OF RELIGION OF THE CONVENTED

It is also important for persons sentenced to deprivation of liberty to ensure freedom of conscience and freedom of religion.

Freedom of conscience and freedom of religion are fundamental human rights guaranteed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 18), the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Article 18) and other international documents. According to Art. 28 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, everyone is guaranteed freedom of conscience, freedom of religion, including the right to profess individually or jointly with others any religion or not to profess any, to freely choose, have and disseminate religious and other beliefs and act in accordance with them.

Consequently, convicts are guaranteed freedom of conscience and freedom of religion without any special restrictions.

Freedom of conscience includes the right to freely choose, have and disseminate both religious and atheistic beliefs, freedom of religion - to choose and profess any religion or not to profess any. The exercise of the right to freedom of conscience and freedom of religion is voluntary and cannot be exercised under coercion by the administration of institutions and bodies executing punishment.

The Law of the Russian Federation "On Freedom of Religion" specifies the need to comply with the laws of the state as one of the conditions for exercising freedom of conscience and freedom of religion (Article 3). The exercise of freedom of conscience and freedom of religion should not violate the internal regulations established in institutions, as well as infringe on the rights of other persons. For example, the conduct of religious ceremonies should not infringe on the right of convicts to eight hours of sleep at night or lead to the disruption of activities planned for that day (lectures, watching a movie, visiting a library, etc.).

Those sentenced to restriction of freedom may visit places of worship located on the territory of the correctional center. If there are none, then those sentenced to restriction of liberty may be issued permission to visit places of worship located outside the correctional center.

Such a departure may be permitted within the territory of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation where the correctional center is located.

Priests belonging to duly registered religious associations are invited to those sentenced to serving a sentence or deprivation of liberty at their request.

Convicts alone or together with the clergy may perform religious ceremonies in rooms specially equipped for these purposes. Im also it is allowed to receive in parcels and transfers, to acquire, to have with them religious literature, objects of religious worship for individual use, pectoral crosses, bibles and use them.

Seriously ill convicts as well as those sentenced to death before the execution of the sentence at their request the opportunity to perform all the necessary religious rites with the invitation of the clergy is provided.

Thus, the penitentiary policy is aimed at ensuring that every convicted person has the right to freedom of religion.

17. APPEALS OF THE CONVENTED AND THE PROCEDURE FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION

Convicts can send proposals, applications and complaints on issues related to the violation of their rights and legitimate interests.

Offers - these are appeals of convicts, which contain information about the need to preserve or change existing phenomena or processes. Usually they are expressed in proposals to change the current legislation and regulations, as well as the practice of correctional institutions.

Applications - these are the appeals of convicts, which, as a rule, set out requests for the need to make any decisions or actions in the interests of the applicant, for example, applications from convicts with a request to be allowed to leave the correctional institution (Article 97 of the Penal Code).

If they are addressed to the administration of institutions and bodies executing testimony, they are registered and considered on their merits.

According to the Internal Regulations, a daily reception of proposals, applications and complaints is organized convicted both orally and in writing.

Suggestions, statements and complaints, like other types of correspondence coming from those sentenced to the actual serving of sentences and deprivation of liberty, are subject to censorship.

However, there is an exception to this rule. Proposals, statements and complaints addressed to the bodies exercising control and supervision over the activities of institutions and bodies executing punishment are not subject to censorship and are sent to the addressee no later than one day. To do this, they are accepted from convicts in sealed envelopes, which are forbidden to be opened.

A similar procedure has been established for complaints submitted to the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation. According to Art. 19 of the Federal Constitutional Law of February 26, 1997 "On the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation" complaints sent to the Commissioner by persons in places of detention, review by the administration of places are not subject to compulsory detention and are sent to the addressee within 24 hours.

The inspectorates agree with the local authorities on the list of facilities where convicts will serve their sentences, and constantly maintain contact both with these bodies to obtain information about such facilities, and with the administration of relevant organizations about the work of convicts and their behavior.

Execution of punishment in the form of a fine. The implementation of punishment in the form of a fine is regulated by the Criminal Executive Code, as well as the Federal Law of July 21, 1997 "On Enforcement Proceedings", which introduced the institution of bailiffs. A fine is a monetary penalty imposed within the limits provided for by the Criminal Code. The fine is set in the amount of 2500 to 1 million rubles, or in the amount of wages or other income of the convicted person for a period of time from two weeks to five years.

In these cases, the writ of execution is sent to the appropriate organization.

A convicted person who has not paid a fine in a timely manner and concealing their income, property from foreclosure, may be found to be maliciously evading the payment of a fine. With regard to such convicts, the bailiff, not earlier than 10, but not later than 30 days from the date of expiration of the extended payment period, sends to the court a proposal to replace the fine with other types of punishment.

The court decides this issue at its own discretion. It is only important that these terms do not go beyond the maximum limits established by the relevant article of the Special Part of the Criminal Code.

28. PROCEDURE FOR SERVING A SENTENCE IN THE FORM OF ARREST

Arrest consists in keeping the convict in conditions of strict isolation from the company and is established for a period of one to six months.

Since the execution of this punishment involves the restriction of the rights and freedoms of the individual to a large extent, the criminal law provides that arrest is not imposed on persons who have not reached the age of sixteen by the time the court pronounces a sentence, as well as pregnant women and women with children under the age of 14 years.

Persons sentenced to arrest serve their sentence at the place of conviction in arrest houses.

Arrest as a form of punishment is expensive and ineffective and is the most cruel form of imprisonment.

Arrest, as a measure of criminal punishment, consists in keeping a prisoner in conditions of strict isolation from society for a period of 1 to 6 months. Soldiers are serving their arrest in the guardhouse.

An arrest is served in arrest houses within the territory of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation and, as a rule, in one arrest house. The transfer of a convict from one house of arrest to another is allowed for medical reasons or to ensure the safety of the convict, as well as under other exceptional circumstances.

Those sentenced to arrest are kept in strict isolation, providing protection and constant supervision of them. The conditions of detention of those sentenced to arrest are the same as those convicted serving deprivation of liberty in a prison on a general regime.

The requirement of the law serving the arrest at the place of residence of the convict, Of course, this does not mean that arrest houses will be set up in every locality. However, they are expected to be established in all republics, territories, regions, autonomous districts within the Russian Federation, as well as in federal cities. The President of the Russian Federation instructed the Government of Russia to prepare and approve the Regulations on arrest houses and the standard for their staffing.

As a rule, the convict must serve the entire term of punishment in one arrest house. The transfer of a convict from one house of arrest to another is allowed in the event of his illness.

When executing arrest, the principle of separate detention of certain categories of convicts must be observed.

Isolated from other categories of persons, detainees, and are placed separately: men, women, minors, as well as convicts who have previously served their sentences in correctional institutions and have a criminal record.

The need for such a differentiation of convicts is caused by the goals of ensuring the safety of convicts, preventing offenses, providing an educational impact and eliminating the negative influence on the part of convicts who have previously served a sentence of arrest or imprisonment on convicts serving these sentences for the first time.

persons sentenced to arrest are kept in conditions of strict isolation from society, which excludes free communication of convicts with persons outside the arrest house.

Thus, outwardly, the conditions for the execution of punishment in the form of arrest are similar to the conditions for the execution of a criminal punishment in the form of deprivation of liberty. However, arrest is not a deprivation of liberty, although in fact it is, of course, a deprivation of liberty, albeit a short-term one, with all the ensuing consequences.

29. CONDITIONS FOR SERVING A SENTENCE OF ARREST

The conditions of detention of persons sentenced to arrest are equal to the conditions of detention established for those sentenced to deprivation of liberty, serving sentences in prison on a general regime.

The actual conditions of detention are more severe in terms of the nature of the restrictions.

Condemned visits are not granted, except for visits with lawyers and other persons entitled to legal assistance; it is not allowed to receive parcels, transfers and parcels.

There are no such restrictions even in a maximum security prison.

Due to the short duration of sentences, general educational and vocational training is not carried out in relation to convicts in the arrest house.

Convicts in the detention house they can purchase food and essentials for an amount not exceeding 20% ​​of the minimum wage labor.

Convicts are prohibited from moving without an escort. They enjoy the right to daily walks duration at least one hour and for convicted minors - at least one and a half hours.

The walk of convicts is carried out in a place specially equipped for these purposes and excludes the possibility of communication between convicts and strangers. Juvenile convicts short visits are provided once a month for a duration of up to three hours with parents or persons replacing them.

A telephone conversation may also be permitted as a reward.

The administration of the arrest house may involve convicts in the maintenance of the arrest house without payment for a period not exceeding four hours a week. Household services include: garbage collection, sanitary and hygienic cleaning of the premises, cosmetic repairs of the premises, minor repairs of furniture, household equipment, work in the laundry, bathhouse and other household facilities. Work is performed in order of priority.

Incentive norms are associated with the elimination of restrictions, stemming from the essence of punishment. The basis for encouraging convicts to arrest is their good behavior.

Good behavior is understood as the absence of violations of the established order while serving a sentence, the fulfillment of all duties.

Gratitude can be declared orally or in writing, other incentives are clothed only in writing.

For violation of the established procedure for serving a sentence, convicts may be subject to penalties in the form of a reprimand or placement in a punishment cell for up to 10 days.

When imposing penalties, it is necessary to follow the principle of compliance of the penalty with the nature and severity of the violation committed by the convict.

The charge is due no later than 10 days from the date of discovery of the violation, and if an inspection was carried out in connection with the violation - from the date of its completion, but no later than three months from the date of the violation. Collection is executed immediately, and in exceptional cases no later than 30 days from the date of its application. It is prohibited to impose multiple penalties for one violation. A reprimand is announced orally or in writing, all other penalties - only in writing.

Thus, imprisonment in the form of arrest is quite effective, but not applicable, since these institutions are not available in the Russian Federation.

30. INSTITUTIONS PERFORMING DETENTION OF SUSPECTED AND ACCUSED

Detention - this is the most severe preventive measure provided for by the criminal procedural legislation, which is expressed in the deprivation for a certain period of liberty of a person accused or suspected of committing a crime.

Detention is essentially similar to such criminal penalties as arrest and imprisonment, but significantly differs in social and legal purpose and legal nature.

Criminal punishment is both a punishment and a means of correcting the offender. These goals cannot be set when choosing such a measure of restraint as detention.

Persons suspected or accused of committing a crime, by virtue of the presumption of innocence, cannot legally be considered criminals.

From this it follows that detention as a measure of restraint is not a punishment no remedy. Detention is used to isolate suspects and accused from society.

There are two types of places of detention traditional for Russia: pre-trial detention centers and temporary detention facilities.

According to their functional purpose and legal status, they have certain differences.

The law provides There are two types of pre-trial detention centers:

To perform the above tasks, the personnel of pre-trial detention centers are entrusted with functions, the main of which are:

- reception of suspects and accused and placing them in cells in accordance with the established requirements of the law;

- ensuring the isolation of suspects and accused;

- detection, suppression and prevention of offenses and crimes by suspects and accused;

- ensuring and maintaining the order regulated by the Internal Regulations. Thus, persons sentenced to deprivation of liberty, if they are kept in a temporary detention center until the sentence enters into force, are transferred to pre-trial detention centers to be sent to places of deprivation of liberty in accordance with the verdict.

31. LEGAL STATUS OF SUSPECTED AND ACCUSED DURING DETENTION

The suspected and the accused enjoy the rights and freedoms, they are assigned the duties established for the citizens of the Russian Federation.

The regime regulates life in places of detention.

With its help, the boundary of what is permitted in the behavior of suspects and accused is established and their legal status is determined.

The regime is a set of rules that determine the procedure for the detention of suspects and accused persons and the procedure for their provision by the administration of places of detention.

One of the tasks of the regime in places of detention suspected and accused of committing crimes is to ensure isolation from the outside world and from other categories of suspects and accused.

Thus, the conditions and regime of detention of suspects and accused persons comply with the law.

33. TYPES OF CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS

One of the most severe and at the same time common types of criminal penalties provided for by criminal law, is deprivation of liberty, which is the forced isolation of the convicted person in correctional facilities specially designed for this purpose.

Correctional institutions are specialized bodies of the state that execute sentences in the form of deprivation of liberty for a certain period and life imprisonment, which together form a system of serving a sentence of deprivation of liberty.

Correctional facilities include:

- correctional colonies;

- educational colonies;

- prisons;

- medical correctional institutions. Investigation isolators perform the functions of correctional institutions in relation to convicts left to perform housekeeping work, as well as in relation to convicts for a period not exceeding six months, left in a pre-trial detention center with their consent.

Correctional colonies are subdivided into colonies-settlements, correctional colonies of general regime, correctional colonies of strict regime, correctional colonies of special regime.

The men are serving prison sentences:

- in colonies-settlements - persons convicted of crimes committed through negligence, as well as sentenced to imprisonment for committing intentional crimes of small and medium gravity, who have not previously served imprisonment. Taking into account the circumstances of the commission of the crime and the identity of the perpetrator, the court may appoint the said persons to serve their sentences in correctional colonies of general regime, indicating the motives for the decision;

- in correctional colonies of general regime - persons sentenced to imprisonment for the first time for committing serious crimes, who have not previously served imprisonment;

- in correctional colonies of strict regime - persons sentenced to deprivation of liberty for committing especially grave crimes, who have not previously served deprivation of liberty, as well as in case of relapse or dangerous relapse of crimes, if the convicted person served deprivation of liberty;

- in correctional colonies of general regime - persons sentenced to deprivation of liberty for committing grave and especially grave crimes, including in case of any type of recidivism.

Juveniles serve their sentences in educational colonies.

Thus, those sentenced to deprivation of liberty serve their sentences in correctional institutions within the territory of the subject of the Russian Federation in which they lived or were convicted.

Article 34

The law establishes the requirement for mandatory separate detention in correctional institutions of various categories of convicts.

The following categories of convicts are kept separately in correctional institutions:

- men and women, with the exception of colonies, settlements, in which convicted men and convicted women can be kept in the same colony;

- adults serving their sentences separately from minors; at the same time, it must be taken into account that the joint detention of minors and persons who have reached the age of majority is possible if they are left in an educational colony by order of the head of the educational colony, sanctioned by the prosecutor, until they reach the age of 21;

There is an exception to the above classification - the requirements for separate detention do not apply to medical correctional institutions, as well as correctional colonies that have children's homes.

In medical correctional institutions, in isolation from other categories of convicts, the following are kept: convicts with especially dangerous recidivism of crimes; persons whose death penalty has been replaced by deprivation of liberty by way of pardon; sentenced to life imprisonment; convicted of especially serious crimes.

It should also be noted that minors are kept separately, women are held separately from men.

Convicts who have committed crimes in complicity serve their sentences, as a rule, separately.

The law provides separate correctional institutions for convicts - former employees of courts and law enforcement agencies. This provision ensures the realization of the right of convicts to personal security.

This circumstance is connected with the prevention in places of deprivation of liberty of manifestations of revenge by individual convicts against former employees of the courts and law enforcement agencies for the past activities of civil servants in the field of justice, public order and public safety. Other convicts may also be sent to the institutions mentioned above: officers of the senior and senior staff of the Armed Forces, Border and Internal Troops of Russia, employees of state apparatuses, former deputies of the State Duma.

35. RECEPTION AND TRANSFER OF PRISONERS

Convicts are sent to serve their sentences no later than 10 days from the date of receipt by the administration of the pre-trial detention center of a notice of the entry into force of the sentence.

During this period the convicted person has the right to a short visit with relatives or others.

Administration of the pre-trial detention center is obliged to notify one of the relatives of the choice of the convict, where he is sent to serve his sentence.

Those sentenced to deprivation of liberty are sent to the place of serving the sentence and move from one place of serving a sentence to another under escort and special transport - road, rail, water and only in some cases by air.

The movement of convicts under escort is carried out with observance of the separate detention of men and women, minors and adults sentenced to death, convicted of committing a crime in complicity and other categories of convicts. convicts, patients with an open form of tuberculosis or who have not completed a full course of treatment for a venereal disease, convicts suffering from mental disorders, not excluding sanity, - separately from healthy convicts, and if necessary, at the conclusion of a doctor, accompanied by medical workers.

When moving convicts, they create the necessary material and household и sanitary and hygienic conditions, they are provided with clothing according to the season, as well as food according to the norms established for convicts for the entire period of travel.

Reception of convicts to a correctional facility is carried out by an operational duty officer in the prison, an assistant on duty to the head of the prison, in an educational colony - on duty assistant to the head of the colony and an employee of a special department of the institution.

During the reception of convicts, employees of the institution check the availability of personal files and establish their belonging to the arrived convicts, check the presence of the necessary documents in the personal files.

A medical worker of an educational colony conducts an external examination of convicts in order to identify their bodily injuries.

Convicts who arrive at a correctional institution, after clarification of the data, are subject to a full search, and their belongings are examined.

During the day, convicts undergo a medical examination, complete sanitization and placed in a quarantine department, where they are placed under medical supervision for up to 15 days.

While in it convicts get acquainted with the procedure and conditions for serving sentences, with their rights and obligations established by the legislation of the Russian Federation and the Internal Regulations of the institution, are warned about liability for violation of the regime for serving sentences.

In addition, they explains the use of technical means of supervision and control, and in cases provided for by law, physical force, special means and weapons.

Thus, the decision on the distribution of convicts into detachments, departments, cells, taking into account their personal characteristics, involving them in work, training in the system of general and vocational education, is made by the commission of the correctional institution, headed by its head.

Article 36

Persons sentenced to deprivation of liberty may be left in a pre-trial detention center or prison permanently. only if they themselves agree to the term of serving a sentence for the performance of housekeeping work or temporarily, if necessary, and the performance of investigative actions as a witness, victim, suspect, accused, if necessary, his participation in the trial of a crime committed by another person, as well as in the case of bringing the convicted person to criminal liability in another case, if a measure of restraint in the form of detention has been chosen in respect of him.

Leaving convicts sentenced to deprivation of liberty in a pre-trial detention center or prison for housekeeping work due, first, characteristics of the contingent of persons held in these institutions; Secondly, the impossibility of involving prisoners and convicts serving sentences in prison to work on housekeeping.

Can't attract to similar work and convicts serving sentences in prison, where persons who have committed especially grave crimes, as well as convicts transferred to prison for violating the established procedure for serving sentences in correctional colonies of general, strict and special regimes, are kept.

To perform this type of work in the above-mentioned correctional institutions, only those convicts who are: - sentenced to imprisonment for a term of not more than five years can be retained for the first time;

- sentenced to serve a sentence in the form of deprivation of liberty in correctional colonies of general regime;

- agreed in writing to stay in these institutions to perform maintenance work;

- prior to the entry into force of the verdict, they were kept in the pre-trial detention center in which they remain to perform housekeeping work.

The administration of a pre-trial detention center or prison, when resolving issues related to leaving convicts to perform housekeeping work, it should comprehensively study the personality of such persons, since work requires a stable position, a certain immunity from the negative influence of persons who have not committed a crime for the first time, and persons who have committed serious crimes.

The procedure and conditions for serving a sentence convicts left in pre-trial detention centers or prisons to perform housekeeping work are identical for persons serving a prison sentence in correctional colonies of general regime (Articles 120, 121 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation).

These convicts are kept separately in unlocked common cells from other persons and may be in ordinary, light and strict conditions of serving a sentence.

In the period serving a sentence in a detention center the convict can change his mind and apply to the administration of the pre-trial detention center with a request to send him to continue serving his sentence in a general regime colony, and the request must be granted.

Thus, the law allows the convict to be left in a pre-trial detention center or prison if the prison functions as a pre-trial detention center when it is necessary to carry out investigative actions or consider a crime committed by another person in court.

37. CHANGING THE TYPE OF CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION

In the process of serving a sentence in the form of deprivation of liberty, the type of correctional institution may be changed for convicts depending on their behavior and attitude to work.

Changing the type of correctional facility carries out the court at the place of serving the sentence on the proposal of the administration of the institution.

Such transfers can be aimed at facilitating the conditions for serving a sentence for convicted persons - transfer from prison to penal colony and from a penal colony to a colony-settlement, and to tighten them.

A change in the type of correctional institution, providing for the improvement of the conditions for serving a sentence, is carried out by the court on three grounds:

1) good behavior of the convict;

2) conscientious attitude of the convict to work, training;

3) serving by the convict of the term of punishment established by law.

The conclusion about the good behavior of the convict follows from the psychological and pedagogical indicators that require an individual approach to assessing the personality of the convict.

Conscientious attitude to work and training can be expressed in the fulfillment or overfulfillment of production standards or established tasks, observance of labor discipline, and the desire to obtain a general and vocational education.

From correctional colonies of general regime convicts can be transferred to a colony settlement - after serving convicts in lighter conditions of detention, at least 1/4 of the term of punishment.

From strict regime correctional colonies, on the same grounds, convicts can be transferred to a settlement colony - after they have served at least 1/3 of the term punishment, if the convict is serving a sentence in light conditions of detention.

Convicts who were previously released on parole from imprisonment and committed new crimes during the period of the remaining part of the sentence, with good behavior and a conscientious attitude to work, can be transferred to a colony-settlement after serving at least 1/2 of the term of punishment, and those convicted of committing especially serious crimes - after serving at least 2/3 of the sentence.

If there is a combination of the three grounds mentioned above, it is possible to transfer the convict from prison to a correctional colony - after the convict has served time in prison at least 1/2 of the term, appointed by court order. The replacement of imprisonment with detention in a correctional colony does not apply to convicts transferred to prison for malicious violation of the established procedure for serving sentences.

From a correctional colony of special regime, convicts can be transferred to a correctional colony of strict regime - after serving half of the sentence.

Not subject to transfer to a colony-settlement:

- convicts with especially dangerous recidivism of the crime;

- those sentenced to life imprisonment in the event that this type of punishment is replaced by pardon by deprivation of liberty for a certain period;

- convicts whose death penalty has been replaced by deprivation of liberty by way of pardon. In this way, there is a clear fixed list of persons sentenced to imprisonment, who can change the type of correctional institution.

Group disobedience of convicts is also expressed in the refusal to fulfill the demands placed on them or a certain part of them, but they manifest themselves in a less aggressive form and are not associated with the above actions - pogroms, arson, murders.

Article 44

Conditions for serving a sentence - these are certain stages of the correction of the convict, at which, depending on the regime of the correctional institution, the personality of the convict and his behavior, the legal restrictions provided for by the penitentiary legislation increase or decrease.

The essence of the institution of changing the conditions of detention of those sentenced to deprivation of liberty is to change their legal status, in particular, the scope of rights, both in the direction of weakening legal restrictions, and in the direction of strengthening the latter.

Under the change of conditions of detention within the same correctional institution is understood simultaneous increase or decrease all benefits provided by law related to the transfer to improved conditions or stricter detention in colonies of general, strict and special regimes, in prisons, educational colonies of general and enhanced regimes.

For this purpose, the PEC provided for a three-stage system of serving sentences in correctional colonies - ordinary, light and strict conditions of detention, and in educational colonies - a four-stage system (ordinary, light, preferential and strict conditions of detention).

In prisons - general and strict types of regime.

The usual conditions are basic.

Depending on the behavior of convicts, it is possible for them to be transferred to facilitated conditions, where they the right to spend additional funds to purchase food and basic necessities, receive parcels, transfers and parcels, as well as short and long dates; or to strict conditions, where, on the contrary, the scope of the listed rights of convicts is reduced while simultaneously keeping them in a locked room.

Serving sentences by convicts is based on two most important requirements of the regime:

- the maintenance of convicts during the entire term of punishment in one correctional institution (Article 81);

- changing the conditions of their detention while serving a sentence (Article 78, Part 1, Article 82). The essence of the institution of changing the conditions of detention of convicts is changing their legal status, in particular, the scope of rights, both in the direction of weakening legal restrictions, and in the direction of strengthening the latter. Changing the conditions of detention of convicts implemented in two forms:

1) within one type of correctional institution (articles 87, 120, 124, 127, 130 and 132 of the PEC);

2) by transfer from one correctional institution to another (article 78 of the PEC).

A change in the conditions of detention within the same correctional institution is understood as a simultaneous increase or reduction in the benefits provided by law associated with the transfer to improved or stricter conditions of detention in colonies of general, strict and special regimes, in prisons with general and strict regimes, in educational colonies.

In this way, a change in the conditions of detention is the result of an assessment of not only a one-time act, but also a system of behavior: the absence of penalties and a conscientious attitude to work for a certain time: from six months to one year, depending on the type of correctional institution.

The criminal executive legislation of the Russian Federation establishes two types of material liability of convicts for harm caused to the state, individuals and legal entities in the performance of their labor duties, other actions of convicts.

There are cases in correctional institutions when convicts cause material damage to the state, as well as to individuals and legal entities. After what they have done, they are subject to liability. The grounds for such liability do not differ from the existing rules for free citizens.

In the first case, the amount of damages to be compensated is determined in accordance with labor legislation, in the second - in accordance with civil law.

Full financial liability comes for damage:

- caused by the criminal actions of the employee, established by a court verdict;

- caused by shortage, deliberate destruction or damage to materials, semi-finished products, products, tools, measuring instruments, overalls;

- caused by an employee who is in a state of intoxication.

56. RIGHTS OF PRISONERS

The rights of convicts are an important element of their legal status. The reality and guarantee of rights make it possible to increase the efficiency of the activities of institutions and bodies executing punishment, to ensure the rule of law in the execution of criminal punishment.

According to part 2 of Art. 24 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation public authorities and local self-government bodies, their officials are obliged to provide everyone with the opportunity to familiarize themselves with documents and materials that directly affect their rights and freedoms, unless otherwise provided by law.

Criminal Executive Code the constitutional norm on the right to information is concretized and supplemented.

Convicts have the right to receive information about their rights and obligations, about the procedure and conditions for serving the type of punishment imposed by the court.

Information about the rights and obligations of convicts should contain an extract from the Penitentiary Code, primarily from the norms providing for the legal status of convicts.

We are talking about explaining the procedure for submitting proposals, applications and complaints, exercising the right to personal security, and providing legal and social assistance.

Convicted believers receive information on the procedure for exercising freedom conscience and freedom of religion, convicted foreign citizens serving arrest, restriction of freedom or imprisonment - on the procedure for maintaining relations with diplomatic missions and consular offices of their states.

57. OBLIGATIONS OF CONDEMNED TO DISCLAIMER

The main duties include those that ensure law and order during the serving of sentences or create conditions for the activities of institutions and bodies executing punishments.

Convicts must comply with the laws of the Russian Federation the duties of its citizens, to comply with the moral norms of behavior accepted in society, the requirements of sanitation and hygiene, i.e. comply with civic obligations.

But if the citizens in freedom are free to set the limits for the fulfillment of such duties, then in places of deprivation of liberty certain requirements are imposed on these aspects of their life, which convicts are already obliged to comply with.

Convicts have a duty comply with the requirements of federal laws that determine the procedure and conditions for serving sentences, as well as other regulatory legal acts adopted in accordance with them.

Regulations on compliance with federal laws, determining the procedure and conditions for serving sentences, normative legal acts adopted in accordance with them, as well as the fulfillment of the legal requirements of the administration of institutions and bodies executing sentences, form the legal basis for maintaining law and order during the execution of a criminal sentence.

The convicts are charged special obligation to fulfill legal administration requirements institutions and bodies executing punishment. We are talking about the implementation by convicts of legal requirements, and not any instructions and orders from the administration.

In order to ensure normal relations between convicts and staff, the law establishes a specific obligation for convicts to be polite to staff, other persons visiting institutions and bodies executing punishment, as well as to other convicts.

On this basis, most violations of the regime and crimes are committed.

To support the requirement that convicts fulfill this duty, strict supervision and control over their behavior in their places of residence, as well as the holding of extensive educational activities, help.

This obligation is more specific for convicts in respect of whom punishments are being executed, without isolation from society, where the appearance to the relevant official is also a form of control, as well as educational work.

The official may invite the convict to give explanations both orally and in writing.

Chapter 58

The Penal Code fixed the requirements for sources of restrictions on human and civil rights based on the provisions of Part 3 of Art. 55 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which established that the rights of a person and a citizen can be limited.

First, the restrictions on the rights of a citizen cannot be established by regulatory legal acts, including departmental ones. Moreover, they cannot be provided for by the instructions of officials of institutions and bodies executing punishment. All activities of personnel in the treatment of convicts must be based on the steadfast observance of the law.

Second, the restrictions on the general civil rights of convicts cannot be established by the laws of the constituent entities of the Federation: penitentiary legislation is assigned to the exclusive competence of the Russian Federation.

Third, restrictions can be established in the interests of ensuring the protection of a strictly defined range of socio-political values: the foundations of the constitutional order, morality, health, rights and legitimate interests of others, ensuring the defense of the country and the security of the state.

It is legislated that the Russian Federation respects and protects the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of convicts, ensures the legality of the use of means of their correction, their legal protection and personal safety in the execution of sentences. Thus, convicts, despite the crimes they have committed, often against state interests, are protected primarily by the state, this does not exclude protection with the help of public, human rights organizations.

Persons sentenced to deprivation of liberty are prohibited from:

- violate the line of protection of objects or the boundaries of the territory of correctional institutions;

68. MEASURES OF INCENTIVES AND PENALIZATIONS APPLIED IN EDUCATIONAL COLONIES

For good behavior, conscientious attitude to work and study, active participation in the work of amateur organizations for convicts held in educational colonies, along with the provided incentives for adult convicts may also apply the following incentives:

- granting the right to visit cultural, entertainment and sports events outside the educational colony, accompanied by employees of this colony;

- granting the right to leave the educational colony accompanied by parents, persons replacing them, or other close relatives; the duration of leaving the educational colony in both cases cannot exceed 8 hours;

- early release from a disciplinary cell;

- early transfer from strict conditions of serving a sentence to ordinary ones.

All these measures have the ability to stimulate good behavior of convicts to a high degree. The first two have a special attraction for minors, who, as a general rule, show interest in cultural, entertainment and sports events, as well as in visiting other places of entertainment outside the educational colony. The third measure of encouragement contains an exemption from one of the most severe disciplinary sanctions.

When convicts are given the right visits to cultural, entertainment and sports events outside the educational colony, accompanied by employees of this colony and the right to go outside the educational colony, accompanied by parents, persons replacing them, or other close relatives, they are given their civilian clothes.

It is forbidden to visit convicts cultural, entertainment and sporting events at night.

Exit duration outside the educational colony is established by the head of the colony and cannot exceed 8 hours.

An incentive measure in the form of early release from a disciplinary isolator, taking into account the mentality of a minor convict, stimulates him to actively repent of the violation and return to the path of correction.

For violation of the established procedure for serving sentences, the following types of penalties may be applied to convicts held in educational colonies: 1) reprimand;

2) a disciplinary fine in the amount of up to two times the minimum wage;

3) deprivation of the right to watch movies for one month.

Loss of the right to watch movies within a month, it has a tangible psychological impact on the minor and serves as a very effective means of strengthening discipline.

Convicted, placed in a disciplinary cell, long visits, telephone conversations, the purchase of food and essentials, the receipt of parcels, transfers and parcels, the use of board games and smoking are prohibited.

They are entitled to enjoy a daily 2-hour walk.

All other types of penalties may apply to them.

Early release from a disciplinary isolator may be used by the head of an educational colony or a person replacing him, as a measure of encouragement or for medical reasons.

69. Abandonment of convicted persons in educational colonies and transfer to correctional colonies after they reach the age of majority

Convicts who have reached the age of 18, as a rule, remain in an educational colony, but not more than until they reach the age of 21.

Negatively characterized convicts who have reached the age of 18 are transferred for further serving their sentence to an isolated section of an educational colony functioning as a correctional colony of general regime, if any, or to a correctional colony of general regime.

This is due to a number of reasons.

First, the the fact that when a convicted person is transferred to a correctional colony, the conditions for his correction worsen. He finds himself among adult convicts with more persistent antisocial properties.

Second, the the continuity of the process of re-education of the convict is disrupted: considerable time is required for him to move from one colony to another, to familiarize the administration of the new correctional institution with the characteristics of his personality, for his entry into a new team.

Third, the continuity of the convict's general education and professional training is disrupted.

Finally, a change of scenery and an established way of life often has a very unfavorable effect on the convict himself. He often becomes bitter and less receptive to corrective measures.

The negative impact of the noted circumstances are exacerbated by the fact that they have an impact on the convict, who is, as a rule, in a short-term position. It has long been established that this category of convicts is particularly difficult to corrective influence.

Convicts left in an educational colony are subject to the conditions of serving the sentence, food standards and material and welfare provisions established for juvenile convicts.

In educational colonies isolated areas may be created, functioning as correctional colonies of general regime, for the maintenance of convicts who have reached the age of 18 years while serving their sentence.

The abandonment of convicts who have reached the age of 18 in an educational colony is carried out according to the decision of the head of the educational colony, sanctioned by the prosecutor.

Reason for transfer convicts who have reached the age of 18, from an educational colony to a correctional colony of general regime, is a negative characteristic of their behavior during the time of serving their sentence.

The indisputable basis for the transfer is the presence of penalties for a malicious violation of the established procedure for serving a sentence.

However, it is not mandatory. A negative characteristic of a convict can be determined by the fact that he allows violations of the established procedure for serving a sentence, even if they are not malicious, - evades studies, treats work in bad faith, and has a negative impact on other convicts.

The decision to transfer a convict who has reached the age of 18 to a correctional colony shall be taken by the court.

The basis for the transfer from an educational colony to a correctional colony of convicts who are 21 years old is the very achievement of this age.

The characteristics of their behavior and personality in this case do not matter.

73. LEGAL GROUNDS AND PROCEDURE FOR RELEASE FROM PUNISHMENT

The grounds for exemption from punishment are provided for by Russian legislation, i.e. the Criminal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Code of Criminal Execution. Certain grounds for exemption from criminal liability are provided for by other legal acts, such normative acts include: the regulation of the Ministry of Health, the presidential decree on pardon in respect of a certain person, and the decision of the State Duma on amnesty should also be included in these normative acts.

The grounds for release from serving a sentence are:

1) serving the term of punishment;

2) annulment of the court verdict with termination of proceedings on the case;

3) conditional early release from serving a sentence;

4) replacement of the unserved part of the punishment with a milder one;

5) pardon or amnesty;

6) serious illness;

7) other grounds provided for by law. In this way, serving a deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities, compulsory labor, corrective labor, restriction of liberty, arrest, imprisonment for a certain period, as well as serving a restriction in military service and detention in a disciplinary military unit shall terminate on the last day of the term of punishment.

Those sentenced to restriction of freedom, arrest and deprivation of liberty for a certain period are released in the first half of the last day of the sentence. If the term of punishment ends on a day off or on a holiday, the convicted person is released on the day before the day off or on the day before the holiday.

When calculating the term punishment in months, it expires on the corresponding date of the last month, and if a given month does not have a corresponding date - on the last day of this month.

Upon release the convicted person is given things and valuables belonging to him, funds stored in his personal account, personal documents and securities, documents about his work activity and a certificate of release. The latter comes in three types: Form “A” is issued to convicts who are released due to the termination of proceedings. Form "B" is issued to convicts who have writs of execution; Form "B" - for all other releases.

Passport, work book and pension certificate are issued to the convict in his hands.

Early release from serving a sentence is carried out on the day the relevant documents are received, and if the documents are received after the end of the working day - in the morning of the next day.

Condemned, freed from serving the sentence due to the cancellation of the sentence, the head of the institution on behalf of the state makes an official apology, he is explained the rights to restore property, labor, housing and other rights lost during the serving of the sentence.

Convicted military personnel are exempted from further serving a sentence in the event of an illness that renders them unfit for military service. The unserved part of the punishment can be replaced by a more lenient one. The same replacement may be made in the event of dismissal of convicts from military service on the grounds provided for in the law.

Thus, release from serving a sentence in some cases is justified and consistent with the goals and objectives of penal law.

SECTION 74

Legal basis and procedure for release in case of annulment of the court verdict with the termination of the case, it is provided for in a number of regulations, such regulations include the Criminal Code, the Penal Code and, accordingly, a number of by-laws: the regulation of the Ministry of Health, the decision of the Supreme Court.

In practice, although rare, there are cases unjustified conviction of citizens for committing crimes, when the innocence of a person is established during the period of serving a criminal sentence imposed by a court sentence.

Therefore, the law provides as one of the grounds for release from punishment, the annulment of the court verdict with the termination of the proceedings. Release from punishment on this basis means the rehabilitation of a person as convicted unreasonably. It is carried out by the body executing the punishment after receiving a copy of the ruling of the court that issued such a decision.

This definition (decree) shall be attached to the personal file of the convict. A person who has been brought to criminal responsibility shall be subject to immediate release with the restoration of all rights.

The moral and material damage caused to a person who has been unreasonably convicted and served part of the term of the sentence imposed is unlikely to be fully compensated.

Nevertheless the state is doing everything possible for this.

Upon release, the damage caused to the citizen by the illegal actions of the bodies of inquiry, preliminary investigation, the prosecutor's office and the court must be compensated, in particular:

- the unreasonably convicted person must be restored to his former rights, for example, in his former position, in a special, military or honorary rank, in a class rank, in the rights to lost housing, to return state awards;

- he must be paid material compensation for the harm caused by an unjustified conviction, for example, compensation for lost earnings, pensions and benefits, sums of money collected in pursuance of a court verdict, and confiscated property. Upon release from punishment due to the annulment of the sentence in connection with the termination of the criminal case, in order to restore the reputation of the person, not only the grounds for his release are indicated in writing, but also an official apology is made on behalf of the state.

From exemption under this rehabilitating On the basis of this, it is necessary to distinguish between release from serving a sentence in cases of review of the case and reduction by a higher court (regional, regional, Supreme Court of a republic within the Russian Federation, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation) of the sentence originally determined by the verdict of a lower court.

In this case, release is carried out in accordance with the general procedure after the expiration of the term of punishment established by the court that last ruled on the case. If, in this case, the actually served term of punishment exceeds that imposed after the change of the sentence, the released person has the right to partial compensation for the damage.

For example, the amount of unreasonable deductions from wages when serving corrective labor is returned to him.

Thus, exemption from criminal liability is quite often used in practice.

75. PAROLE RELEASE FROM SENTENCE

To be released from places of deprivation of liberty earlier than the term of punishment appointed by the court, the convicted person, the law gives the following opportunities: pardon; amnesty; grant of parole; exemption for health reasons.

The provisions of the law are binding on all authorities and institutions of the penitentiary system.

The following persons have the right to apply for parole: the convict himself; his lawyer or legal representative (for convicted juveniles, one of the parents or guardian may be the legal representative).

Relatives of an adult convict are not entitled to apply for parole. However, they can provide other support to the inmate, which will be discussed below.

An application for parole is sent to the court at the place of serving the sentence. The decision on the application of parole is made by the judge considering the application alone.

However, when preparing the parole procedure, it is necessary to take into account the specific features of the institution in which the convicted person is serving his sentence. The decision on parole is made by the court at the place of serving the sentence, and the main document that affects the decision of the judge is the description of the convict from the correctional institution.

If the convict has outstanding penalties, then he has no chance of conditionally release. The charges must be lifted.

Relatives can provide support to the convict if they collect certificates that can be taken into account when considering the application, namely: the difficult financial situation of the family; the convict has minor children who are dependent on him; a certificate from any organization that is ready to hire a convicted person after release (such a certificate is not mandatory, however, if the administration recommends providing it, it is better to try to fulfill this requirement, especially since it does not impose any obligations on a potential employer); the state of health of parents or other close relatives who need his moral and material support; the state of health of the convict.

If the term of punishment is short or if the convict was transferred from one penitentiary institution to another for one reason or another, you need to know that the new provisions of the law require only to serve that part of the sentence that gives the convict the right to parole.

In addition, according to the new law, after serving the part of the term that gives the convict the right to parole, the administration of the institution is obliged to initiate this procedure on its own initiative.

The head of the correctional institution, as soon as the possibility of applying parole arises in relation to a person serving a sentence, is obliged to study his personal file and assemble a commission on parole. The commission is made up of correctional staff only and is exclusively an advisory (to the court's decision) body.

The commission draws up and sends a submission to the court for parole. The head of the correctional facility has significant powers. So, he can send to the court such a representation in which there are no recommendations on the parole of the convict.

The judge may either refuse parole or release a person serving a sentence, both with the imposition of duties specified by law, and without the imposition of such duties.

76. EXEMPTION FROM PUNISHMENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE UNSERVED PART OF THE PUNISHMENT WITH A MORE HUMANE

Replacing the unserved part of the punishment with a milder form punishment consists in the release of the convicted person from the punishment imposed by the court, with the simultaneous appointment instead of the unserved part of another, milder punishment.

At the same time, a person can be completely or partially released from serving an additional type of punishment.

The institution in question is applicable only to persons serving a sentence in the form of restriction of freedom, detention in a disciplinary military unit or imprisonment for a crime of small or medium gravity.

Replacing an unserved part punishment with a milder type of punishment is applied taking into account the behavior of the person during the period of serving the sentence.

It means, that this institution can only be applied to positively characterized convicts. The formal basis is associated with the departure of less than 1/3 of the sentence imposed.

The law states that when replacing, the court may choose any milder type of punishment in accordance with the types of punishments specified in Art. 44 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Softer than imprisonment for a fixed period, are all punishments except life imprisonment and the death penalty. This rule, however, should not be taken literally.

First of all, a new punishment imposed instead of deprivation of liberty can only be the main one. An additional punishment instead of the main one cannot be assigned. Instead of imprisonment, a fine cannot be imposed.

Substitute punishment there can be no deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions or engage in certain activities, since it is appointed in specific cases.

When, given the nature и degree of public danger crime committed and the identity of the perpetrator, the court finds it impossible to retain his right to occupy certain positions or engage in certain activities; those released cannot be appointed to certain positions, also in the case of military punishment - after applying restrictions on military service and detention in a disciplinary military unit after upon release from places of imprisonment, a person cannot be a military serviceman.

Based on the fact that the application of the institution in question should not in any way worsen the situation of the person being released, it is impossible to appoint such a punishment as arrest as a substitute, because the conditions for serving it are much more stringent than in correctional colonies.

In connection with the foregoing, it should be recognized that when replacing a punishment with a milder one, instead of deprivation of liberty, compulsory work, corrective labor and restriction of freedom can be assigned.

The term of a substitutive punishment may not exceed the unserved term of deprivation of liberty.

The procedure for presenting a convicted person for release with the replacement of the unserved part of the punishment with a milder type of punishment is similar to the procedure for presenting a convict for parole.

Thus, after the correctional institution receives a court ruling to replace the unserved part of the sentence with a milder one, the person is released from the correctional institution in the same manner as in the case of parole.

77. RELEASE OF CONDEMNED UNDER THE ACT OF AMNESTY OR CARE

The release of convicts under an act of amnesty or pardon is fixed by a number of normative acts and is carried out in a special manner provided for by the Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993.

Pardon carried out on the proposal of pardon commissions established in each subject of the Federation by the President of the Russian Federation.

The presidential decree names a specific person to whom this act applies.

Amnesty is a normative act of the supreme authority - State Duma - on a one-time exemption from criminal punishment for a certain category of convicts.

Amnesty act usually published in connection with significant dates or significant events for the state.

The decree on amnesty establishes categories of persons to which it applies, and indicates what types of mitigation of the fate of convicted or accused persons apply to certain categories.

Full exemption from punishment is most often applied to persons who have committed less dangerous crimes and who have merits before the state (war veterans, persons awarded orders), or to disabled people of groups I and II, women with young children. For other convicts, the term of punishment is reduced to a greater or lesser extent.

Each amnesty contains a list categories of convicts to whom it does not apply. Usually these are people who have been convicted more than once, who have committed the most dangerous crimes, those who have already been released under an amnesty, but then committed a crime again, as well as malicious violators of the sentence serving regime.

specific grounds for exemption under the act of amnesty is a personal decision of the administration of the body executing the sentence, approved by the Department for the Execution of Punishments and sanctioned by the relevant prosecutor, or a personal decision of a specially created commission, which includes representatives of the court, prosecutor's office, justice.

Pardon is carried out on the proposal of pardon commissions established in each subject of the Federation by the President of the Russian Federation. In his decree, a specific person is named to whom this act applies.

Act of pardon face, convicted of a crime may be released from further serving the sentence, or the sentence imposed on him may be reduced or replaced by a milder type of punishment. Along with this, acts of pardon from persons who have served their sentences, a criminal record may be expunged.

Pardon can be requested the convict himself, his lawyer, relatives and other persons. However, a petition for pardon must be submitted by the institution or body executing the punishment. Typically, such petitions are sent in respect of persons who have proven their correction and have served at least half of the term of the sentence imposed.

In the event that the request satisfied, a decree of the President of Russia on pardon is announced to the convicted against receipt. This ground for release is indicated in the documents issued to the person upon release.

On the rejection of the application of the convict it is also announced what he is signing for. Repeated applications for pardon, as a rule, can be submitted no less than six months later, and for those convicted of especially serious crimes - after a year has passed from the date of rejection of the previous application.

78. RELEASE FROM PENALTY DUE TO ILLNESS OR DISABILITY

This type of exemption from punishment is established in Art. 81 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which describes three cases:

- exemption from punishment due to severe mental disorder;

- exemption from punishment in connection with another serious illness;

- exemption from punishment of military personnel in connection with a disease that makes them unfit for military service.

With different exemption grounds from punishment the law binds various legal consequences. What unites all these cases of exemption from punishment due to illness is that such a disease occurs in a person after the commission of a crime, including while serving a sentence.

The law provides release from serving a sentence of convicts who are ill with a mental disorder or other serious illness.

severe mental disorder or other serious illness impede the participation of the person who committed the crime in investigative actions and the exercise of his right to protection or serving the sentence. The release from punishment of persons who have committed crimes and subsequently fell ill with serious illnesses, including mental disorders, is primarily the implementation of the principle of humanism, enshrined in Art. 7 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

In addition to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, issues of exemption from punishment are regulated by the Code of Criminal Procedure.

List of diseases approved by the Ministry of Health и Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation and available in all colonies and courts. The Government Decree of February 6, 2004 No. 54 "On Medical Examination of Convicts Presented for Release from Sentence Due to Illness" approved the rules for medical examination of convicts presented for release from serving sentences due to illness, a list of diseases that impede serving punishment.

The concept of liberation from serving a sentence due to illness is submitted to the court by the head of the body executing the sentence, based on the conclusion of the medical commission. The presentation, the conclusion of the medical commission and the personal file of the convict are sent to the court. The submission must contain data characterizing the behavior of the convict during the period of serving the sentence.

When suffering from a mental disorder, depriving the convicted person of the opportunity to realize the actual nature and social danger of his actions (inaction) or to manage them, the convicted person is subject to release regardless of the nature of the crime committed and behavior during the serving of the sentence and other circumstances.

To such persons, the court may appoint coercive medical measures.

When suffering from another serious illness, the court shall take into account the nature of illness, the gravity of the crime committed, the identity of the convict, as well as other circumstances of the case.

For convicts who are denied in sick leave, if the course of the illness worsens, the materials are re-sent to the court, regardless of the time of refusal.

79. RELEASE FROM SENTENCE ON OTHER GROUNDS

Such a norm has long been known to Russian criminal law, but it has always regulated the type of release of a person from criminal liability. The same legal outcome was provided for in the original version of the 1996 Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Article 77). However, the Federal Law of December 8, 2003 No. 161-FZ changed the position of the legislator, repealed Art. 77 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and supplemented by Ch. 12 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation Art. 80.1 (new type of exemption from punishment).

The law provides the following basis as a basis for exemption from punishment under Art. 80.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation: the loss of a sign of public danger by the person who committed the crime, or by the crime itself, due to a change in the situation.

The most typical basis This type of liberation is served by a change in the situation, as a result of which either a person ceases to be socially dangerous, or the act committed by him loses a socially dangerous character. The latter case is rare and is associated with such objective changes, which, although they do not lead to the decriminalization of the act, nevertheless, in this particular case, entail a reassessment of the degree of its public danger.

For example, after the end of the Great Patriotic War, such a change in the situation took place when food cards were canceled, as a result of which the forgery of such cards was no longer recognized as fraud. In the literature, a change in the situation is interpreted as an objective change in the country as a whole and as a change of a local, local nature, for example, the liquidation of the enterprise where the abuse of official position was committed.

The most commonly viewed species exemption from punishment can be applied in cases where a change in the situation concerns only the person who committed the crime.

This opportunity opens up in the event of a major change in that person's life, such as a change of job, conscription, or discharge from military service.

With all of the above in the law of reasons, the court pronounces a guilty verdict, imposes a punishment, and releases the guilty person from punishment with appropriate justification.

Criminal executive legislation of the Russian Federation allows the possibility of release from serving a sentence and on other grounds provided for by law.

Among these grounds First of all, there is a change in the criminal law. According to Article 10 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, a criminal law that eliminates the criminality of an act, mitigates punishment or otherwise improves the situation of a person who has committed a crime, has retroactive effect, that is, it also applies to persons serving sentences.

If the new criminal law softens punishment for an act that a person is serving, then this punishment is subject to reduction within the limits provided for by the new criminal law.

Release from serving a sentence due to the issuance of a criminal law, which has retroactive effect, in accordance with the norms of the criminal procedure legislation, is carried out by the judge at the place of execution of the punishment, at the request of the convicted person or at the recommendation of the prosecutor or the body in charge of the execution of the punishment.

The basis for release from serving a sentence is also the deferment from serving sentences to convicted women with young children.

80. SUSPENSION OF SENTENCE FOR CONVINCED PREGNANT WOMEN AND WOMEN WITH CHILDREN

Convicted pregnant women and women with children who are serving sentences in a correctional colony may be granted a deferment from serving sentences during pregnancy and until the child reaches the age of 14 by a court.

Postponement of serving punishment is not applied to women convicted for more than five years for committing grave and especially grave crimes against a person.

The legislation does not establish the period required for granting a deferral of serving a sentence.

Correctional Administration independently decides when a convicted woman with a minor child can be presented for a reprieve from serving a sentence.

The delay condition is the conviction of the administration of the correctional institution that the woman has reached the necessary degree of correction and can live in freedom. A convicted woman or relatives must have housing and other conditions that ensure her normal living with the child.

If a convicted woman lives with a family or with relatives, the law requires the written consent of the family or relatives to accept the convict with the child for independent living.

Correctional Administration sends a submission to the court, which is accompanied by a description of the convicted person, a certificate of the consent of the relatives to accept her and the child, provide them with housing and create the necessary conditions for living, or a certificate of the availability of housing and the necessary living conditions for her, a medical report on pregnancy or a certificate of the presence of a child , as well as the personal file of the convict.

The administration of the correctional institution, having received a court ruling on the postponement of serving the sentence in relation to the convicted, releases her.

A signature is taken from her to appear at the penitentiary inspection within 3 days from the date of arrival.

The convict follows to the place of residence independently, at the expense of the state.

The penitentiary inspection, having received a copy of the court ruling on the postponement of serving a sentence, puts the convict on record and monitors her behavior, about which informs within 3 days to a correctional institution at the place of release of the convicted person.

In case of non-arrival convicted within 2 weeks the penitentiary inspection carries out initial search activities and, if the results are not achieved, announces a search for the convict.

For repeated violation of public order or labor discipline, if for the first time administrative or disciplinary sanctions were applied, or when evading the upbringing of the child and caring for him, the penitentiary inspection announces a warning to the convict.

If the convict abandoned the child or continues to evade his upbringing, the penitentiary inspection submits to the court a proposal to cancel the deferment.

A convict is considered to be evading the upbringing of a child if she, without officially abandoning the child, left him in a maternity hospital or transferred him to an orphanage, in the event that he leads an antisocial lifestyle and is not engaged in the upbringing of the child and care for him, or left the child to relatives or other persons, or disappeared, or commits other actions that indicate evasion from raising the child.

81. ASSISTANCE TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE LABOR AND HOUSEHOLD DEVICE OF RELEASED CONVENTS

This issue is regulated by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, federal legislation, the Penal Code, the Labor Code, the Housing Code, and, importantly, by-laws.

The Constitution states that every citizen of the Russian Federation has the right to work and housing, but, unfortunately, these constitutional norms are often violated. Persons released from places of detention are deprived of rights.

Currently under conditions instability of society, rising unemployment, convicts released from correctional institutions experience significant difficulties, especially in employment and household arrangements, which often pushes them to commit new crimes.

Administration of penitentiary institutions, territorial bodies of internal affairs, in cooperation with local governments, carry out a lot of preparatory work to prepare convicts for release.

Not later than two months before the expiration of the term of arrest or six months before the expiration of the term of restriction or imprisonment in relation to those sentenced to imprisonment for up to six months after the sentence enters into force, the administration of the institution notifies the local authorities and the federal employment service at the chosen place of residence of the convicted person about his forthcoming release, the availability of housing, his ability to work and available specialties.

For convicted juveniles, who do not have parents or other persons with whom they can live, as well as minors whose parents are deprived of parental rights, the administration of the institution executing punishment sends such information to the commission on juvenile affairs at the chosen vacated place of permanent residence for registration of guardianship or guardianship.

Disabled people of II and III groups, men over 60 years old and women over 55 years old, at their request and on the proposal of the administration of the institution, are sent by social protection bodies to homes for the disabled and the elderly.

The stage of preparation for release begins directly with the fact that a statement is taken from the convict in the prescribed form, where he indicates what kind of help he needs.

Based on this statement, the administration institution sends a request to the internal affairs bodies on the possibility of residence of the convict at the chosen place of residence.

If necessary, the letter contains a request to resolve through the mayor's office or local administration the issue of providing the convict with housing and work.

If the released person does not need help, then the application is not sent to the internal affairs bodies.

Frequent cases, when answers are received from there about the impossibility of labor and domestic arrangements for the released person at the chosen place of residence.

In this case, the chief inspector informs the convict on labor and domestic arrangements and, with his consent, takes measures to resolve the issue of labor and domestic arrangements in other places.

In this way, the administration of penitentiary institutions contributes to the improvement of persons released from custody.

82. RENDERING ASSISTANCE TO RELEASE CONFIDENTS

Restriction of liberty, arrest and imprisonment are punishments that can be served outside the place of residence.

A woman, to whom a deferment of serving a sentence has been applied, is obliged to observe public order and labor discipline, to take care of the child and his upbringing.

For violation of these duties, the penitentiary inspection announces a warning to her.

If the convict has abandoned the child or, despite the announced warning, continues to evade the upbringing and care of the child, the penitentiary inspectorate at the place of her residence submits to the court a proposal to cancel the deferment and execute the imposed punishment or its unserved part.

The submission shall be accompanied by a copy of the court ruling on the postponement of serving the sentence.

Themselves disorderly conduct or labor discipline, which entailed the application of administrative or disciplinary measures, if they are not related to the failure to fulfill obligations in relation to the child, cannot serve as a basis for canceling the deferment.

However, once the child reaches the age of 14 the behavior of the convict during the period of deferral, in conjunction with other circumstances (the nature and degree of public danger of the crime committed, the woman's attitude to raising a child, served and unserved terms of punishment) should be taken into account when the penitentiary inspection submits to the court a proposal for the release of the convicted from serving the remainder of the sentence or replacing the remaining unserved part of the punishment with a milder type of punishment or sending it to a correctional institution.

Convicted, released from these types of punishments, free travel to the place of residence is provided in rigid common carriages of passenger trains and 3rd class cabins on passenger line ships.

Pregnant women from the 5th month pregnancy and with children under three years of age, minors under 16 years of age, the disabled and the sick are issued tickets for second-class carriages or cabins of the 2nd class.

In the event that there is no railway or water communication for this direction, then those exempted receive a ticket for air or bus transport.

For travel time they are provided with food, and in the absence of seasonal clothing and funds to purchase it, with clothing at the expense of the state.

If there is no money in the personal account of a convicted person, he may be given a one-time cash benefit in the amount of one minimum wage, and for those released from a correctional colony - up to two minimum wages.

In exceptional cases, the convicted next to the place of residence or work and who is in a difficult financial situation, the penitentiary inspection or the department for the execution of sentences may be issued an additional a one-time allowance of up to 1/10 of the minimum wage.

When convicts are released who need outside care for health reasons, pregnant women and women with young children, as well as minors under 16 years old, the administration of the institution informs relatives or other persons in advance.

Article 83

A citizen who has served a criminal sentence has the right, established for citizens of the Russian Federation. Of particular importance for the released citizens is the right to work, housing, and receiving social assistance.

Practice shows that persons released from correctional institutions prefer to find a job on their own, without the help of state bodies.

To do this, you need to contact the employment center at the place of residence. In accordance with the joint instruction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation and the Federal Employment Service of the Russian Federation of September 28, 1992, those released from punishment have the right of priority employment.

A citizen who applied to the employment service, must submit a passport and a document on education. In the absence of a passport, it must first be obtained at the police station.

In addition, a work book is presented, and in case of absence - a certificate from the last place of work. Those released from places of deprivation of liberty also submit a certificate of release.

The applied citizen is selected for a job and with his consent, a letter of recommendation or referral is issued, with which he must appear at the time indicated there for registration. If for some reason the hiring did not take place, the personnel department must justify the refusal in writing on the spine of the referral and certify it with a seal.

This document is returned to the employment service, who is looking for another job.

In view of the fact that unemployment exists in a number of regions of the country, the question arises of the right of a person exempted to unemployment benefits if there are difficulties with his employment.

To claim unemployment benefits the released person must have a certificate from the correctional institution on earnings.

Able-bodied disabled people and persons with medical restrictions to certain types of work must have with them a certificate from the VTEC or the medical control commission on the recommended types of work.

The amount of unemployment benefit depends on the salary of the convict during the serving of the sentence, but in any case it cannot be less than the established minimum wage.

The allowance is paid until the issue of employment is resolved, but not more than 12 months, except as provided by law.

Liberated Citizen, who had a living space before conviction, with the consent of the residents living there for registration, can freely return to their former place of residence, regardless of the nature of the crime committed, the term of punishment served, the number of convictions and the grounds for release.

The abolition of restrictions on registration based on a criminal record does not mean the right of a released person to live in any locality in Russia.

In a number of major cities, restrictions on the registration (propiska) of newly arriving citizens who have not previously lived there. They are not connected with the presence of a criminal record, they concern all citizens and are caused only by overcrowding in these large cities.

Therefore, persons who married while serving their sentence or after their release can be registered (registered) with their spouse, regardless of where they lived before arrest, of course, with the consent of all those living in this living area.

84. CONTROL OVER PERSONS RELEASED FROM PENALTY

Control plays an important role in consolidating results correction and prevention of recidivism on the part of persons who have served criminal sentences.

The current penal legislation provides for four organizational and legal forms of control.

For military personnel, control carried out by the command of military units and institutions. During this control, it is checked how the parolee fulfills the duties assigned to him by the court - not to change his place of residence, work, study, not to visit certain places, undergo treatment for alcoholism, drug addiction, substance abuse, venereal disease, provide material support families and others.

For persons convicted of serious crimes or convicted two or more times for any intentional crimes or previously released from places of deprivation of liberty before the full serving of the term of punishment imposed by the court on parole and who again committed an intentional crime during the unserved part of the punishment, administrative supervision is established. It is established for a period of six months to one year.

If necessary, it can be extended each time for another six months, but not more than the terms established for the repayment or removal of a criminal record.

Persons subject to administrative supervision restrictions may be applied in the form of a ban on leaving the house (apartment) at a certain time, a ban on staying in certain points of the district, city, a ban or restriction on the time of departure on personal business outside the district, city. Specific restrictions apply for each person are established by the head of the internal affairs body in full or in part, depending on the behavior of the supervised person, his marital status, place and schedule of work and other circumstances. Restrictions can be changed by the internal affairs body (in the direction of mitigation or strengthening) depending on the behavior of the person under supervision, taking into account his personality, changes in the nature or schedule of work.

Control the behavior of conditionally convicted persons during the probationary period is carried out by the penal inspection, and in relation to military personnel - by the command of their military units.

Employees of other services of the bodies of internal affairs and justice may be involved in the exercise of control.

The penitentiary inspection carries out a personal record of conditionally convicted persons and controls the fulfillment by them of the duties assigned to them by the court.

The probationer is required to report before the penitentiary inspection and the command of military units about his behavior, to fulfill the duties assigned to him by the court, to appear when summoned to the penitentiary inspection.

If a conditionally convicted person fails to appear without a valid reason, he may be brought in.

If a conditionally convicted person evades verification the penitentiary inspection carries out initial measures to establish his location and reasons for evasion.

The court, when imposing a conditional sentence, may impose on the conditionally convicted person the performance of certain duties in accordance with the law.

85. GENERAL PROVISIONS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DEATH PENALTY

The death penalty - an exceptional measure of punishment provided for by the Criminal Code.

In accordance with Art. 20 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, it can be established only for especially grave crimes encroaching on life.

In the Criminal Code, this measure is included in the sanctions of five crimes: murder (Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation); encroachment on the life of a statesman or public figure (Article 277 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), an encroachment on the life of a person administering justice or preliminary investigation (Article 295 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation); encroachment on the life of a law enforcement officer (Article 317 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation); genocide (Article 357 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

After joining the Council of Europe The Russian Federation has signed Protocol No. 6 to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights concerning the abolition of the death penalty in peacetime. However, this Protocol shall enter into force after it has been ratified by the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation and signed by the President of Russia. So far this Protocol has not been ratified.

On February 2, 1999, the issue of the possibility of applying the death penalty in Russia was considered by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation.

He acknowledged that since a person who is charged with a charge under an article that provides for the death penalty as a sanction has the right in accordance with Part 2 of Art. 20 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation for consideration of his case by a jury, and such courts have not been created in all subjects of the Federation, citizens tried in different regions are placed in an unequal position.

Therefore, the Constitutional Court recognized that, until the establishment of jury trials in all regions of Russia, the death penalty cannot be imposed by any court of the Russian Federation.

The death penalty is not given to women juveniles and men who have reached the age of 65 at the time of sentencing.

The law does not regulate the time within which the sentence must be carried out. From the moment it enters into force and until it is enforced, quite a long period often passes, in some cases calculated in years.

After sentencing those sentenced to death are dressed in special clothes. The convict may send a petition for pardon to the President of the Russian Federation. An application for pardon is submitted through the administration of the institution or body executing the punishment.

At the same time, the execution of the punishment is suspended until a decision is made by the President of the Russian Federation.

If the convicted person refuses to file a petition on pardon by the administration of the correctional institution, an appropriate act is drawn up with the participation of the prosecutor.

However, consideration issue of the application of pardon to persons sentenced to death is mandatory, regardless of the presence or absence of his application. The administration of the institution in which the convict is kept is obliged to inform the President's Office about new circumstances that are important for considering the issue of pardon: a serious illness of the convict, the commission of a new crime.

The sentence is carried out only after the administration of the institution where the convicted person is being held receives the conclusions of the Chairman of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation on the absence of grounds for filing a protest against the verdict of the court in the exercise of supervision and the decree of the President of the Russian Federation on the refusal of pardon.

86. LEGAL STATUS OF CONDEMNED TO THE DEATH PENALTY

For the first time in Art. 20 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation enshrines the right of citizens to life and says that the guilty can be sentenced to death only for especially grave crimes against life.

Such a formula of the law indicates that it is not only about the murder provided for in Part 2 of Art. 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, but also about other crimes, one of the objects of which is human life.

In the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, this measure is included in the sanctions of four more crimes placed by the legislator in different chapters: encroachment on the life of a statesman or public figure (Article 277), encroachment on the life of a person, administering justice or preliminary investigation (art. 295), encroachment on the life of a law enforcement officer (art. 317), genocide (art. 357). At the same time, in all cases, the sanctions provide for life imprisonment and imprisonment for a certain period (up to 20 years) as an alternative.

In this regard, the question arises whether this means that at the moment of accession to the Council of Europe in our country, the execution of death sentences is automatically suspended.

Naturally, by joining an existing organization, Russia as a new member must recognize its founding principles.

At the same time, the question arises whether a new member joining the Council of Europe may have some disagreements with its other members, or whether all members of the Council of Europe should have absolutely the same approaches to resolving all issues.

In the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights, unlike Protocol No. 6, states: "No one can be deliberately deprived of life except in execution of a death sentence pronounced by a court for a crime for which the law provides for such punishment" (paragraph 1 of article 2). This means that the Convention itself, unlike Protocol No. 6, does not in principle exclude the retention of the death penalty in any European state.

The Penal Code provides sentenced to death a number of rights. These rights must be explained to him.

The convict, both before and after the entry into force of the sentence, has the right to formalize the necessary civil law and marriage and family relations. This may relate to the execution of a will, a donation agreement, sale and purchase, marriage registration, recognition of oneself as the father of a child, including an unborn child.

He can issue a power of attorney to conduct any of his affairs.

In order to receive legal assistance, the convict has the right to have meetings with a defense counsel, i.e. with a lawyer or other person entitled to provide legal assistance, without limiting the number and duration.

Death row prisoners have the right to send and receive letters without restriction. Emails sent and received are censored.

Convicts are allowed to use newspapers and books from the library of places of deprivation of liberty.

They can purchase products through the administration staff food in the store of the place of deprivation of liberty in the amount of up to 20% of the minimum wage. Prior to the entry into force of the sentence, relatives can buy for them in the same store transfers that are handed to them by the administration.

After the entry into force of the sentence, convicts may receive one parcel or package and one parcel per year.

87. PROCEDURE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DEATH PENALTY

The death penalty is the most severe punishment known to the law

The death penalty is carried out non-publicly by firing squad.

Execution is carried out in certain, so-called "execution", pre-trial detention centers and prisons.

A person sentenced to death has the right to appeal the verdict.

But even in the absence of a complaint, the correctness of the conviction is checked by way of supervision by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the General Prosecutor's Office, which give their opinions on the correctness of the application of the death penalty.

Filing a complaint with a convict, including by way of supervision, suspends the execution of the sentence until a response is received from the relevant authority.

After the entry into force of the verdict, the convict may send a petition for pardon to the President of the Russian Federation.

If he refuses to ask for pardon, an appropriate act is drawn up with the participation of the prosecutor.

But both in the case of writing a petition, and in case of refusal of the convict, the question pardon is still considered by the President of the Russian Federation.

After the rejection of all complaints and a petition for pardon, or if the President refuses to pardon the convicted person, the sentence is subject to execution.

Institution administration, in which the convicted person is kept, is obliged to immediately inform the authorities where the petition for pardon is being considered, about new circumstances that are important for the consideration of such a petition - the death or serious illness of the convicted person, the commission of a new crime by him, the change or cancellation of the court verdict.

Those sentenced to death must be periodically visited by the public prosecutor.

Among the rights that are granted to the convict (and which should be explained to him), it is necessary to name the possibility of formalizing the necessary civil law and marriage and family relations. This may relate to writing a will, registering a marriage, recognizing oneself as the father of a child.

To receive legal assistance, a convicted person has the right to have meetings with a lawyer without restrictions on the number and duration; if both of these persons wish, in private. The law does not regulate the time period within which the sentence must be executed.

Bringing the verdict execution is entrusted to a specific employee of the pre-trial detention center or a controller who has good shooting skills and a stable psyche.

Execution of the death penalty in relation to several convicts, it is carried out separately in relation to each of them and in the absence of the others.

Before the execution of the sentence, the identity of the convict and the absence of mental illness are once again checked.

If the convicted person has a mental disorder, the execution of the sentence is suspended, and a notification is sent to the court that passed the sentence.

When executing the sentence, it is necessary the prosecutor, the head of the institution in which the death penalty is executed, and the doctor who certifies the death are present.

A protocol is drawn up on the execution of the sentence, signed by all the indicated persons.

institution administration, executing the sentence, notifies the court that decided it, as well as one of the close relatives of the convicted person.

The body is not issued for burial and the place of its burial is not reported.

88. ENFORCEMENT IN THE USA

In the United States, there is a rather mixed picture of the combination different systems in organizing the execution of imprisonment in the country as a whole and its individual states.

The most common punishments are fine, probation and imprisonment.

The institution of probation is close in essence to the criminal law institution of probation operating in Russia, and in real content it is a type of criminal punishment not related to imprisonment. Mandatory conditions of probation are the failure to commit a new crime under federal or state law during the probation period.

If at the same time with a sentence of probation, the sentence of fine comes into force, the payment of the fine also becomes a condition of probation.

In addition, alternative probation conditions prescribed by the court may be:

- material support for persons dependent on the convict, as well as the performance of other family responsibilities;

- implementation of restitution in relation to the victim;

- conscientious work, passing a course of vocational training in order to subsequently perform suitable work;

- refraining from any specific performance of an occupation, business or work;

- refraining from visiting certain places and communicating with certain persons;

- refraining from excessive consumption of alcohol or narcotic and other controlled substances unauthorized by a special medical worker;

- refraining from possession of a destructive device, firearms or other dangerous weapons;

- undergoing affordable medical, psychiatric or psychological treatment (including for alcoholism, drug addiction) with a stay, if necessary, in an institution indicated by the court.

If the convict violates the conditions of probation during its departure, then, at the initiative of the probation service, the court may take the following decisions:

1) continue probation with or without extension of its term, with or without changing the conditions;

2) annul the sentence of probation and impose another punishment that may be applied for the committed criminal offence.

The most common criminal punishment in the United States is a penalty. The fine must be paid immediately, unless the court, at the time of sentencing, requires payment by a certain date or establishes a schedule for payment in instalments specifying specific dates for payment.

The payment of the fine is considered late, if any part of it is not paid within 30 days from the time when it was due, and if the delay is more than 90 days, the penalty is considered unpaid.

A person sentenced to a fine who has shown conscientiousness in observing the deadlines for the execution of punishment, may file an application with the court to extend the schedule for paying the fine in installments for a period of not more than two years or to cancel the payment of the unpaid portion of the fine.

Execution of punishment in the form of deprivation of liberty is carried out in the United States in executive institutions, the system of which includes federal prisons, state prisons and local (county and municipal) prisons.

89. ENFORCEMENT OF PENALTY IN THE UK

The procedure and conditions for the execution of punishment in the UK are carried out using the provisions of case and statutory (criminal, criminal procedure, penitentiary) law.

In the UK to measures not related to deprivation of liberty include suspension of sentence, probation, provision of services to society.

Purposes of punishment achieved before his appointment. The Crown Court or the Magistrates' Court may suspend sentencing for a period not exceeding six months after the arraignment.

Another kind of punishment An alternative to imprisonment is probation. The court, taking into account the criminal offense, the identity of the perpetrator and other circumstances, issues a probation order, according to which the convicted person will be under the supervision of the probation service for a period determined by the order (from one to three years).

The court may impose duties on the convicted person, which should contribute to his good behavior and the prevention of relapse. At the same time, the convict is obliged to live in a correctional hostel, correctional center or other institution.

By order of the court on probation may include a requirement that the convict visit a day care centre.

In case of violations of the conditions of probation, the court may:

1) summon the convict;

2) issue an order for his arrest;

3) impose a fine on the convicted person.

The court, having established that the convicted person no longer needs probation, on the basis of the application of the convicted person or a representative of the probation service, may issue an order to transfer from probation to conditional release (for the remaining period of probation), provided that no new crime has been committed during this period.

A serious form of punishment without imprisonment is the order "On the provision of services to society", which consists in the performance of free work (from 40 to 240 hours).

This order is appointed with the consent of the offender and in the presence of conditions for its actual execution. The execution of the order is carried out by the probation service. A convict in respect of whom an order for the provision of services to the society has entered into force is obliged to inform the probation service about the change of residence, as well as to perform such work and at a time indicated by the head of the probation service. The work continues usually within a year.

If a convicted person fails to comply with the requirements of a public services order, the Magistrates' Court or the Crown Court may impose punitive or other measures on the convicted person, as well as cancel (in accordance with the competence of the court) this order and proceed to another punishment.

UK penitentiary system consists of central and local prisons.

Local penitentiaries (county jails, city jails) hold individuals awaiting trial and sentencing.

In addition, the main categories of criminals are serving sentences here:

- sentenced to short terms of imprisonment;

- Convicted for non-payment of fines, debts and other minor crimes.

The network of these establishments is still relatively small (less than 1/4 of the penitentiary system), but continues to increase, since it costs the state less than closed prisons and allows prisoners to maintain socially useful ties with the outside world.

90. ENFORCEMENT OF PUNISHMENT IN FRANCE

France is the birthplace of the continental system of law.

Unlike Great Britain, in France, the historical sources of criminal, criminal procedure and penitentiary norms are not judicial precedent, but codified law and by-laws.

The system of criminal penalties under the new French Criminal Code consists of three parts, focused on criminal acts classified by severity: crimes, criminal offenses, criminal violations.

For the commission of a crime can be appointed: life imprisonment or life imprisonment; imprisonment or imprisonment for up to 30 years; imprisonment or imprisonment for up to 15 years.

Criminal offenses entail corrective punishments:

1) imprisonment (for a term not exceeding six months, one year, two, three, five, seven, ten years);

2) fine;

3) a fine in the form of fine days.

The commission of a criminal offense may result in the following penalties:

- fine;

- deprivation or restriction of rights.

Penalty in the form of fine days consists in the fact that the convicted person must contribute to the state treasury an amount, the total amount of which is determined as a result of the appointment by the judge of the daily contribution, multiplied by the appointed number of days.

The amount of each penalty day determined taking into account the income and obligations of the defendant. The number of fine days is assigned taking into account the circumstances of the criminal offense (no more than 360).

Total fine must be paid after the expiration of the period corresponding to the number of penalty days assigned.

Full or partial non-payment of this amount entails the imprisonment of the convicted person for a period corresponding to half the number of unpaid fine days. Detention is carried out in this case in the mode of execution of punishment in the form of imprisonment.

Punishment in the form of performance of work in the public interest cannot be appointed against the will of the offender or in his absence at the court session. The term for engaging in work in the public interest does not exceed 18 months. It ends with the completion of the entire amount of work. If there are serious medical, family, professional or other reasons, the term of execution of the sentence may be suspended by the judge for the execution of sentences of the district where the convicted person permanently resides, or by the judge for the execution of sentences of the court.

Work in the public interest is carried out by convicts, taking into account the provisions of laws and by-laws relating to night work, hygiene, security measures, women's and youth work.

The following types of deprivation or restriction of rights may follow the commission of a criminal offense: 1) deprivation of a driver's license for a period not exceeding five years; 2) prohibition of driving certain vehicles for the same period; 3) cancellation of a driver's license with a prohibition for up to five years to seek the issuance of new rights.

The court may impose punishment in the form of temporary (up to ten years for a crime, up to five years for a criminal offense) deprivation of political, civil and family rights. Temporary deprivation of the right to vote and to be elected means at the same time a ban on being in public service.

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Eternal atomic battery 25.08.2020

The American startup NDB (Nano Diamond Battery) announced the successful laboratory testing of two prototypes of the so-called beta galvanic batteries (betavoltaic). Such batteries work on the principle of converting radioactive beta radiation into electrical current. It is argued that the development of NDB is unparalleled and will allow "forever" to supply energy to absolutely any device: from wearable sensors and smartphones to aircraft and even rockets.

Prototypes of the NDB battery have been tested at the Livermore National Laboratory and the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. Both labs confirmed that the charge collection efficiency of the Nano Diamond Battery reached record levels for so-called "diamond batteries" based on synthetic diamonds. So, if third-party developments show no more than 15% efficiency in energy production, then NDB prototypes demonstrated efficiency at the level of 40%.

An "atomic" battery is a radioactive core - a source of isotopes - coated with synthetic diamond. Isotopes interact with diamond in the process of inelastic scattering. This converts the radiation energy (beta radiation) into electrical current. Since the radioactive substance is capable of "radiating" for thousands of years, the life of such a battery will exceed all possible periods of operation of the equipment that they will feed.

For humans and the environment, such power sources are not dangerous. Radiation does not go outside, and the diamond shell of the rod serves as a guarantee against damage. The excess energy generated by the battery will accumulate in the buffer tank. The developers offer a supercapacitor for this, but the same lithium-ion battery can be used as a storage device. Imagine a smartphone no longer needs to be charged. It will become self-loading!

An agreement has been reached with two major manufacturers on joint "field" tests of the Nano Diamond Battery. The names of the companies are not disclosed. One of them is engaged in the production, maintenance and disposal of nuclear fuel products, and the second relates to the US military-industrial complex (defense and military production).
