Scientific journal Criminal and Executive System: Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow 2022, no. 1 (September 2, 2022): 42–52. http://dx.doi.org/10.32755/sjcriminal.2022.01.042.
Full textAbstract:
The article points out that today’s segregated system of holding convicts for punishments related to deprivation of liberty in Ukraine, has been handed down to us since the Soviet regime, so there is a need to rethink the very essence of this system. It is also noted that today, when determining the criteria for separate convicts’ detention, a legislator mainly takes into account gender, degree of recidivism, severity of the committed criminal offense, types of committed criminal offenses (such distribution is characteristic only for correctional colonies of the maximum security level and is provided for by Article 140 of the Criminal Executive Code of Ukraine), convicts’ age, etc. It is considered expedient to supplement the classification system with such components (criteria) as: the type of criminal activity and the degree of danger posed by a convicted person. The need for such changes is outlined in international documents in the field of protection of convicts’ rights. In particular, the maintained analysis of international documents in the penitentiary field provided grounds for concluding that in order to ensure safe conditions in penal institutions, it is necessary to comply with the following requirements: as soon as possible after convict’s arrival at a penal institution, it is necessary to obtain information about the convict’s state of health and determine the appropriate level of security for the convict, the security threat they pose. While determining the security threat, the following are taken into account: the risk that the convict may pose to society by escaping (if this risk exists, it is determined whether he will try to escape on his own, or will involve other convicts, representatives of the administration, etc., as a part of a group or with external help). Another aspect of examining convict’s identity is to find out whether they pose a safety threat to other convicts, the administration of a penal institution or other persons in the institution, and whether they are capable of self-harm and suicidal behaviour. Key words: convicts, staff, penal institution, distribution of convicts, security.

Full textAbstract:
The problems of protecting the rights and legitimate interests in the sphere of labor of convicts sentenced to penalties and other criminal law measures not related to deprivation of liberty are identified. Penal inspectorates and the administration of correctional centers do not sufficiently take into account convicts' qualifications when ensuring that convicts follow the requirements of a court verdict. When enforcing the performance of compulsory and correctional labor, suspended sentence, penal inspectorates ignore the requirements of labor laws regarding the age of a minor, the “feasibility” of labor for minors, women, persons suffering from various types of diseases, the obligatory passage of medical examination of convicts when hiring them and further annual examination. In practice, the time free from studies when serving compulsory labor is incorrectly determined. There are cases of incorrect calculation of the term of correctional labor for convicts; groundlessness of the reasons for the convict's dismissal from the organization; problems with compensation for harm in case of injury to a convict associated with the performance of compulsory labor. In order to bring the convict to serving the sentence in a timely manner, the author proposes to establish in the criminal procedure law a rule providing for a period of time between the presentation of a sentence for execution and its acceptance for execution, and to introduce a rule in the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation providing for administrative responsibility for violations of this period. The author substantiates the necessity of improving the means of ensuring the execution by the convict of the order and conditions of serving correctional labor, and, in the penal legislation, proposes to provide for the possibility of imposing a duty on those convicted to correctional labor upon registration, as it was before, and also of changing this type of punishment to a more severe one for convicts who (a) systematically commit administrative offenses against public order or those similar to crimes for which the person was convicted; (b) evade registration or coming to the penal inspectorate for registration and do not leave their place of residence. Art. 79 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation should secure the right of the court to impose obligations on those released on parole from serving sentences during the probation period upon the penal inspectorate's presentation.

Full textAbstract:
One of the rights of convict is obtaining parole. To get his right as a convict in order to get parole requires the consent of the convict's family as a guarantor. The aims of the research are to know the arrangement of parole to the convicts and to know the role of the family as a guarantor in granting parole to convicts. The method of research is the type of normative legal research. Approach of problem is approach of conceptual approach and legislation. Source of primary and secondary legal materials. Collection of legal materials by reading or studying books of legislation and other literature and added with the results of interviews. The analysis of legal materials is done by analytical descriptive. Results and discussion is the regulation of parole shall be granted to a convict who has served a criminal offense of at least 2/3 (two-thirds) with the provisions of 2/3 (two-thirds) of the criminal period not less than 9 (nine) months. it is regulated in Government Regulation no. 99 of 2012, Regulation of the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Regulation of the Minister of Justice and Human Rights Number M.01.PK.04-10 of 2007, Ministerial Regulation no. 21 of 2013 which contains conditional pretrial conditions and procedures for convicts. Approval of the family as a guarantor is one of the mandatory requirement in granting conditional exemption to the convict because the family will be responsible in guiding and supervising the convict if they have obtained the Conditional Paragraph, providing information about the circumstances of the convicts and the family is also obliged to assist the economic condition because in general the convicts the newly acquired parole has not had a job yet.

Full textAbstract:
There are more than thirty penal institutions in the Republic of Serbia in which persons deprived of liberty "reside" due to different reasons as prescribed by law. A convicted person is committed to serve a prison sentence after the final court judgement. This is the rule, however, there is an exception. The position of a convict while serving a prison sentence depends on the type of penal institution in which the convict serves the sentence. There are many circumstances prescribed by law that determine to which penal institutions a convict will be committed to. Since 2009, there have been special rules on serving prison sentences for a certain category of convicts in the Republic of Serbia. This is when the Law on the Enforcement of the Prison Sentence for Criminal Offenses of Organised Crime was enacted. The author focuses on the committal of the most dangerous convicts to serving prison sentences. In this regard, the author points out who the most dangerous convicts are, where they serve the prison sentence, and how the procedure of committing the convict to serve the sentence is organised.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the issue of the institute of conditional early release from serving a sentence as one of the means of stimulating the convict’s behavior in terms of social and educational work. Social and educational work with persons, who are in places of deprivation of liberty is aimed at correction and resocialization, where a special role in correcting the convicts’ behavior is played by methods of motivation and stimulation of behavior, which include various incentives and benefits. The long-term practice of existence and application of the institution of conditional early release from serving a sentence has proved that the formations in the convicts’ minds of real prospects of conditional early release from serving a sentence creates favorable conditions for more effective correction and achievement of the criminal law purposes. To apply this norm, there must be 2 signs: the formal (legal) one presupposes the fact that the convict has served the part of the sentence, provided by law and factual (subjective) one, which presupposes that the convict must prove his correction by conscientious behavior and attitude to work. Conscientious behavior, conscientious attitude to work and to study, active participation in the work of amateur organizations is recognized as a reference point for determining that the convict “proved his correction”. Conscientious behavior should provide not only for the convict to have incentives but also to prove that the convict gives an example of behavior for other convicts. Conscientious attitude to work implies the convict’s desire to exceed the established norms of production or exemplary performance of work, as well as compensation for damages caused by the crime and the provision of material assistance to the family or the payment of claims. However, despite the relevance and duration of the process of conditional early release from serving a sentence, there are a number of issues regarding the technology of its application, determining the degree of correction in deciding on the application of this benefit, consideration of materials by the court at the request of the convict, along with the preparation of necessary materials for the court. Key words: social and educational work, conditional early release, technology of application, stimulation of behavior of convicts.

Full textAbstract:
Among the many peculiarities of early New South Wales was the absence of a police force to manage a population largely composed of convicted criminals. Instead, the early Governors were forced to employ trusted convicts and ex-convicts to act as watchmen and constables and police their fellows. This article explores the history of these neglected convict police in the context of the contemporary development of modern policing in the British world. Using a case-study of a crack-down on illicit distilling under Governor King in 1805–1806, I demonstrate that the convict police were both surprisingly effective and prone to corruption, reflecting the legacy of British policing traditions and the influence of reformist ideas.

Full textAbstract:
The peculiarities of the legal status of a person serving a sentence is considered in the article. The structure of convict’s legal status is considered. The main elements of convicts’ legal status include convicts’ subjective rights, legitimate interests and responsibilities. Under convict’s subjective right in the science of criminal and executive law they understand the possibility enshrined in law and guaranteed by the state of convict’s certain behavior or the use of certain social benefits provided by the legal obligations of officials of penal institutions and other legal entities. The author points out that legitimate interests are defined as convicts’ desire, enshrined in law, to take specific actions in order to obtain certain benefits, which are usually satisfied as a result of assessment by the officials or administration or administration of penitentiary institutions of a degree of convict’s correction. European standards and the world’s positive penitentiary practice of serving a sentence and maintaining prisoner’s legal status are being implemented very slowly. In turn, convict’s duties are established in the mandatory and prohibitive norms of the law to the extent of their necessary conduct during the sentence, ensuring the achievement of the latter’s goals, maintaining law and order during service, respect for the law and legitimate interests of a convict and others. The main violations of prisoners’ rights in penitentiary institutions of Ukraine are provided. The author considers the basic rights that are violated to be the following: the right to work, the right to receive medical care, the right to personal inviolability, the right to create a safe environment with appropriate conditions of detention. European standards and the world’s positive penitentiary practice of serving a sentence and maintaining prisoner’s legal status are being implemented very slowly. Key words: convict, penitentiary institution, legal status, punishment, Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, national preventive mechanism.

Full textAbstract:
This article is about the socially useful work of convicts in places of deprivation of liberty, since this tool plays an important role in the lives of convicts while serving a criminal sentence, it creates certain prerequisites to acquire new work skills and the opportunity for a convict to be paroled from serving a criminal sentence. This article acquires special significance in connection with the ongoing scientific discussion among domestic scientists and practitioners of the penal enforcement system of Ukraine: on the recognition of community service as a right of convicts (Article 8 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of Ukraine); the convict’s participation in socially useful work upon conditionally early release from serving a sentence (Article 81 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine); whether it is possible to consider socially beneficial labor in places of deprivation of liberty as forced. The article emphasizes that the socially beneficial work of convicts in places of deprivation of liberty involves many factors, in particular: how many penal institutions of the State Security Service of Ukraine have their own production; what is the capacity of production facilities where convicts are employed, and what are the working conditions at the factory; whether the rules of labor protection, safety techniques and industrial sanitation, established by the labor legislation, are observed in the places of detention; whether this number of persons is included among those who are involved by the administration of the institution of execution of punishments to work on the improvement of residential and industrial areas of places of detention, adjacent territories and to improve the living and living conditions of convicts, since according to the fifth part of Article 118 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, such convicts are involved without payment work, as a rule, on a first-come, first-served basis, during non-working hours and for no more than two hours a day; is the training of convicts organized for the most widespread professions that are relevant in society and are in high demand (for example, locksmith, plumber, specialist in wood or metal, etc.). It has been proved that the socially beneficial work of convicts in places of deprivation of liberty is an urgent problem of scientific research, domestic scientists of the penitentiary field and practical workers of criminal-executive institutions of the State Security Service of Ukraine. It is noted that the involvement of convicts in community service is primarily an attempt by the administration of penal institutions of all security levels to create favorable conditions: employment of convicts while serving a criminal sentence; timely repayment of the debt owed to the victim of the crime according to the writ of execution; preparation of the convict for reintegration into society after serving the sentence. Based on the results obtained in the course of the scientific research, the following conclusions were made: socially useful work of convicts in places of deprivation of liberty to a certain extent contributes to the psycho-emotional relief of convicts, distracts them from different opinions and conflicts and contributes to correction and resocialization; the conscientious attitude of convicts in places of deprivation of liberty to socially useful work, subject to the fulfillment of other means of correction and resocialization, gives the convict the opportunity to exercise the right to parole; socially useful work of convicts in places of imprisonment creates all the conditions for obtaining useful skills that can positively affect the further work of the convict after release from prisons; socially useful work of convicts in places of deprivation of liberty is a reliable means of their correction and resocialization. Key words: community service, convicts, personnel, places of imprisonment, punishment, correction, resocialization, material support.

Full textAbstract:
The article outlines the main scientific approaches to the correction of convicts in the works of domestic and foreign scientists. The results of solving two research problems are presented. In accordance with the first of them, the analysis of various interpretations of the concept of “correction” in relation to a convicted person for a committed crime, existing within the framework of philosophical, legal, pedagogical and medical approaches, is given. Approaches to the correction of convicts are considered in the development of the views of representatives of these sciences, their distinctive features are shown in the interpretation of factors, causes and conditions affecting the formation and development of qualities and personality traits of the convicted person, which prevent them from committing new crimes. In the course of solving the second task, a characteristic of the psychological approach to the correction of the convict is given. In this regard, the possibilities of using methods of psychoanalysis, behaviorist and humanistic approaches, transactional analysis and gestalt therapy in psychological work on the correction of convicts are analyzed.

Abstract. The article discusses features of the administrative and legal status of convicts, examines the mechanisms for the implementation of their rights and responsibilities of administrative and legal nature. The authors did not set the task of a detailed study of the legal status elements (rights, legal inte-rests, responsibilities). The purpose of the work is to reflect the peculiarities of the sectoral status of convicts using the example of administrative and legal status. The article draws attention to the fact that special status of a convict is formed not only by the penal legislation, but also by other segments, and the convicted person, as a legal subject, implements elements of his sectoral status with restrictions that distinguish him from other citizens who are not serving criminal sentences. Key words: administrative and legal status, convicts, special legal subject.

Full textAbstract:
The author presents the conceptual basis of an independent trend in victimology - the victimological safety of persons sentenced to imprisonment. The independence of this trend is justified by the existence of its own subject, object, aim, its theoretical and practical relevance, which are described in this paper. It is suggested that the victimological safety of convicts should be understood as the situation when their rights are protected during their imprisonment in correctional institutions. The research of the victimological safety of convicts is necessary because correctional institutions are highly criminogenic, and inmates are potentially predisposed to be victims of criminal behavior. The author enumerates factors influencing the victimity of inmates: personal traits of convicts (light-mindedness, casual behavior, customary use of swearwords that compensate for a poor vocabulary, etc.); character of the crime for which a person is convicted; psychological climate in the community of inmates, level of law and order maintained in the correctional institution; other factors determining the status of a convict in the penitentiary social environment. The author also presents a typology of convicts who become victims of criminal infringements; characterizes inmates placed in isolation for the reasons of personal safety; enumerates the most victimogenic categories of convicts in places of confinement; points out causes and conditions that victimize the personality of a convict in correctional institutions. The results of the conducted research are used to work out the preventive measures of ensuring the victimological safety of convicts, including organizational-management, regime, investigation and search and educational-psychological work. The information of this article has a practical value and can improve the effectiveness of work aimed at ensuring the safety of inmates, as well as the general situation with law and order in Russian penitentiary institutions.

Full textAbstract:
Classification of convicts as one of the main elements affecting the application of the main means of convicts’ correction and resocialization is considered in the article. Criminal’s identity, their personality, social and psychological structure are examined in the article. The criteria of penitentiary influence that ensure the solution of the goals and tasks of the Criminal and Executive System, are also given. The authors note that the classification of convicts can be defined as based on the law, the requirements of Psychology and Pedagogics, as well as the practice of dividing persons deprived of liberty according to a court verdict into more or less homogeneous groups based on the level of social and moral neglect of their personality, as well as the level of social danger and motives of the crime committed by them for the purpose of their separate detention both in various penal institutions and within them in separate local and structural precincts. Special objectives of the classification of persons sentenced to imprisonment for a certain period of time are given, such as: preventing possible negative influence of different groups of convicts on each other, as well as preventing negative influence of convicts with a clearly expressed criminal antisocial position on other convicts; reducing the influence of the criminal subculture on convict’s personality; ensuring safe conditions of stay in penal institutions; construction of a rational, modern system of penal institutions; organization of convicts’ protection and supervision taking into account the requirements of the theory of physical and dynamic security; etc. The authors considered the European Prison Rules that specify the requirements for the separate detention of different categories of convicts, taking into account their safety and protection, as well as the corresponding regime. Key words: convict, legal status, punishment, classifications, penal institution, criminal offense, correction and resocialization.

Full textAbstract:
In this essay, I argue that the Division of Convict Criminology must reject the academic status quo by engaging in collective activism. Academia convinces scholars that the primary goal of their work is individual accolades with little regard for creating substantive change in the world. In doing so, academia exploits marginalized populations, like convicts, by pillaging data while off ering little meaningful assistance to marginalized groups. As Convict Criminology continues to expand its reach within academia, we have a duty to reject the academic status quo by adopting the scholarvist model that advocates for scholarship coupled with activism. It is our responsibility to combat the structural violence inherent in both academia and the criminal injustice system. This essay is a call for collective activism that targets the foundations of oppressive social institutions. The time has come for us to move beyond public statements and towards policy change that creates a more equitable society for current and future convicts.

Full textAbstract:
Ukraine as a democratic, legal social state on the path to European integration, needs to reform all sectors of society. Particular attention in the transformation process is paid to the penitentiary system. The rights of persons who have committed a criminal offense and are held in penitentiary institutions (hereinafter – PIs), along with the rights of other citizens, are protected by the Constitution of Ukraine and international human rights law. Among the fundamental human rights is the right to work. In its turn, the work that convicted persons are involved in is a necessary component of achieving the goal of serving a sentence – the correction of a person and his or her resocialization. Labor is a significant factor in human life. It is a volitional activity aimed at creating material values. Labor as a means of correction and resocialization of a convicted person is defined by the provisions of Article 6 of the Criminal and Executive Code of Ukraine (hereinafter – the CEC). The conscientious performance of their labor duties is taken into account when applying for conditional early release of a convicted person. Therefore, socially useful labor, which convicted persons are involved in, helps to reduce crime. Given the reforms that the penitentiary system in Ukraine has undergone, legal regulation of the organization of work of persons held in PIs is an actual issue of the day. The article highlights the legal basis for organizing labor of persons held in penitentiary institutions. The essence of the constitutional right of a convicted person to work is considered. Labor is defined as a means of correction and resocialization of a convict. The legal basis of socially useful work of convicts is analyzed. The functions of socially useful activities of convicted persons are defined. The principles of involving convicts in socially useful work are defined. The author establishes the working conditions for those convicted to restraint of liberty. The author analyzes the current legislation of Ukraine in terms of the obligation to involve convicted persons in labor; the list of jobs and positions in which it is prohibited to use convicts; requirements for remuneration, working week, and salary; involvement in labor on a free basis; and pension provision for convicted persons. The author draws conclusions about the need for further reform of the penitentiary system in terms of ensuring that convicts have the right to engage in labor activity in accordance with their abilities, desire and fair remuneration. Key words: labor, work of convicts, labor activity, labor contract, penitentiary institution, socially useful work, labor functions, working conditions, involvement in work, remuneration, penitentiary system in Ukraine, European integration.

The problem approach method is carried out using the sociological juridical method, namely by looking at how a legal institution is applied and enforced in practice and data obtained directly from the community. The results of the study show that the convict development program (especially independence development) has been implemented by Class I Correctional Institutions in Surabaya, but there are still obstacles in the implementation of the program caused by various factors. The benefits felt by convicts while undergoing skills training are increasing the knowledge of convicts in the field of skills, convicts can socialize with other convicts, fill their free time while in prison. Obstacles faced in carrying out convict coaching are limited time and human resources in this case the ability of a coach to carry out coaching as well as facilities and infrastructure that meet the criteria but are still inefficient in their utilization due to situations and conditions that sometimes prevent convicts from using some of the facilities.

Full textAbstract:
The article reveals some issues of application of incentive norms and institutions that stimulate law-abiding behavior of convicts sentenced to life imprisonment. It is proposed to supplement the penal enforcement legislation with a provision providing for the transfer of positively characterized convicts to life imprisonment to a penal colony of strict regime after serving at least 20 years in a correctional colony of special regime for life imprisonment. In order to increase the effectiveness of the incentive effect on convicts it also seems appropriate to provide for the possibility of transferring convicts from the strict regime to the colony-settlement for the following categories of persons: convicted with a particularly dangerous relapse of crimes; convicted to life imprisonment; convicted persons who have been commuted to the death penalty by way of pardon. The possibility of transfer to the colony-settlement for these categories of convicts will contribute to the maintenance and restoration of their socially useful ties and successful adaptation to the conditions of life in society. In addition it is necessary to change the mechanism of grant of parole and provide for this incentive institution only in respect of positively characterized convicts to life imprisonment, transferred by a court decision from the special regime for convicts to life imprisonment in the strict regime.

Full textAbstract:
Planned murder is a regular form of homicide, similar to Article 338 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP), but it is carried out with premeditation. Notable cases of planned murder in Indonesia include the 'kopi siandia' case, which resulted in the death of Mirna, and the planned murder case of Brigadier J by Ferdy Sambo. The president can grant clemency upon the convict's request, taking into account the considerations of the Supreme Court. Clemency can be seen as a form of presidential pardon after the convict submits a request to the President. The aim of this research is to analyze the legal strength of clemency in mitigating sentences for convicts in cases of planned murder. This study is a normative legal research employing legislative and historical approaches. Primary and secondary legal materials are used as sources, utilizing qualitative descriptive analysis method. Convicts involved in planned murder cases who request clemency from the president may have their sentences mitigated by the court, either through leniency, a change in the type of punishment, reduction of the punishment, or the abolition of the punishment execution. This clemency is an acknowledgment from the convict, admitting to their actions based on the facts. Consequently, the president will consider whether to grant or deny the clemency request based on this admission, considering the Supreme Court's recommendations. Clemency serves as a legal recourse for convicts to lighten or modify their sentences.

Full textAbstract:
The article emphasizes that the penitentiary principles of execution of court decisions against convicted persons in Ukraine are complex multifactorial processes regulated by the Criminal and Executive Code of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine on Probation, and other regulatory legal acts. On the other hand, the legal definition of penitentiary principles for the execution of court decisions regarding convicts in Ukraine is not established, which in a certain way causes a scientific debate among domestic scientists. Revealing the content of the penitentiary principles for the execution of court decisions against convicted persons in Ukraine, it has been proven that the actualization of the further development of the domestic criminal enforcement system of Ukraine and its subsequent transformation into a penitentiary system is not just a product of a certain scientific segment, it is a recognition by society of the need for its reform and self-improvement. It is noted that the penitentiary principles for the execution of court decisions regarding convicted persons in Ukraine are generally the leading task of the state policy of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine in the field of execution of punishments and probation, since they ensure the order and conditions for the execution and serving of criminal punishments in places of deprivation of liberty of the State Criminal and Executive Service of Ukraine (hereinafter SCES of Ukraine) and authorized bodies on probation issues of the State Institution “Probation Center” (hereinafter SI PC). Emphasis is placed on the fact that penitentiary principles for the execution of court decisions against convicts in Ukraine play an important role in the socialization, resocialization and reintegration of convicts into society after release. Moreover, penitentiary science gives the leading place in the scientific search for the transformation of the penal system of Ukraine into a penitentiary system to the penitentiary principles of the execution of court decisions regarding convicts in Ukraine. It is noted that one of the ways to improve any system is the proper regulation of the legal system of this type of activity. Against the background of the ongoing reform of bodies and institutions for the execution of punishments, we cannot bypass the latest proposals for legislation, which are supposedly aimed at “optimizing the penitentiary system, introducing new approaches to encouraging its personnel, introducing effective management of enterprises of institutions for the execution of punishments. The fact that in modern practice the penal system of Ukraine needs balanced and substantiated scientific developments aimed at convincing research conclusions, proposals and recommendations, which the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, as the legal successor of the State Penitentiary Service, cannot fail to reckon with, we set the goal of determining the role of penitentiaries principles of execution of court decisions regarding convicts in Ukraine. This formulation of the problem is connected with the fact that convicts who, after the entry into force of a court verdict, are sent under escort (places of imprisonment) or independently (authorized body on probation) to the place of serving a criminal sentence. After arriving at the place of serving the criminal sentence, the convict must go through the registration procedure. The following tasks are solved in the article: scientific research on the definition of the concept of penitentiary principles for the execution of court decisions regarding convicts in Ukraine is analyzed; actual problems in the execution of court decisions regarding convicts who are registered with the authorized bodies on probation issues were identified, which allowed them to be united by common features and the conclusions formulated accordingly. Key words: penitentiary facilities, execution, punishment, convict, staff, places of imprisonment, probation, court decision.

Full textAbstract:
In the article the issues of correction of the psychology content of the convict’s group sense of justice are considered in the context of activities to improve the measures of psychological and pedagogical influence on persons in prison. Based on the analysis of the materials of the research conducted by the author it is concluded that in the process of serving the sentence in the group legal consciousness of convicts, legal ideas about the injustice of the formal legal system are constructed. Under these conditions a significant role in the regulation of behavior begins to belong to the norms of behavior adopted in the prison community, which contributes to the criminalization and “prisonisation” of the consciousness of convicts. It justifies the need to carry out activities to minimize the asocial influence of the prison subculture both on persons in prison and on the staff of the penal system. The conclusion is made about the need for a differentiated approach to the conduct of psycho-correctional work on changing the legal representations of convicts. For those who are in prisons for the first time programs on group work and legal education are offered. Convicted persons who have been convicted several times mainly with those who have become disillusioned with their way of life and intend to change it, taking advantage of the law-abiding behavior, individual correctional work is recommended.

Full textAbstract:
A prisoner is someone who is considered guilty of his actions or deeds and has obtained a court deucision that has permanent legal force so that it can be said to have become a convict or convict, which will then serve his sentence in a detention room or also called a correctional institution. Penitentiary is an institution that aims to provide guidance to convicts, including female convicts. However, there are problems in coaching and mentoring for female convicts in class IIA Bangkinang penitentiary, that coaching and mentoring for female convicts in class IIA Bangkinang penitentiary has not been fully implemented, so this is not in accordance with Law Number 12 of 1995 concerning Corrections and Government Regulation Number 31 of 1999 concerning Guidance and Guidance of Correctional Inmates. The formulation of the problem in this study is how to implement the guidance of female convicts in the Bangkinang class II A penitentiary, what are the obstacles in implementing the guidance of female convicts in the Bangkinang class IIA penitentiary, and how to resolve the implementation of coaching for female convicts in the Bangkinang prison. prison class IIA Bangkinang. This research is a sociological law research, because the type of data used is primary data obtained from informants by interviewing the class IIA Bangkinang prison and questionnaires from female convicts, then secondary data is obtained from library materials and regulations related to the thesis title. . The first result of the research is that the implementation of training for female convicts in class IIA Bangkinang penitentiary has not been fully implemented because the female convicts are only given self-reliance coaching, namely making fish meatballs, fish floss and sweet martabak, while for personality coaching only legal awareness coaching, namely counseling from the Office Kampar Narcotics Agency. The second is that in carrying out coaching for female convicts in the Class IIA Bangkinang penitentiary, there are several obstacles, namely limited female employees, an unstructured location specifically for female convicts, lack of facilities and infrastructure, and no special supervisor from outside the penitentiary.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the criminal radicalism determination among convicts. It has been established and substantiated that this criminal phenomenon is linked to groups of cultural, psychological, organizational and managerial factors. It has been described and explained the content and role of elements of criminal subculture in the reproduction of criminal radicalism among convicts. Attention has been focused on the imperative of a negative attitude towards voluntary cooperation with representatives of the administration of penal institutions. The corresponding communication ban is based on the attitude of opposition to the state in general and law enforcement agencies in particular, on the internal consolidation of the criminal environment and direct or indirect opposition and personal opposition to law enforcement practices, including resocialization in penitentiary institutions.
It has been proved that the stratification and normative elements of criminal and prison subculture determine both the system of social and status hierarchy in the criminal environment in general and among convicts in particular, and the mechanisms of forced identification and inclusion in this system. Both variants (inclusive-adaptive and inclusive-disadaptive) of prisonization provide for mandatory stratification infiltration of the convicted person into social structures of a criminal-subcultural type. In the case of conflict-free inclusion, if the convict has a predicate prison experience, personal perception and external recognition of the relevant status, the radicalization of a person occurs according to the analytical scheme of an inclusive radical. Criminal opposition is carried out either against rival criminal groups or against the administration and staff of the penitentiary institution. Otherwise, criminal radicalism is directed at the environment of convicts.
It has been characterized the influence of reification factors, depersonalization of convicts' personalities, professional deformation of penitentiary staff, low quality of social and psychological work with convicts, shortcomings in the personnel policy of the State Criminal Executive Service of Ukraine, insufficient efficiency of management in the field of accommodation of convicts, formalism and low quality of diagnosis and distribution of convicts upon their admission to correctional colonies, and errors in the formation of groups of convicts.

Full textAbstract:
For the first time, from a historical perspective, an attempt was made to study the dynamics of convictions, types and categories of crimes, social characteristics of convicts in Bashkiria in the second half of the 1960s - mid-1970s. A special part in the structure of convictions was occupied by crimes against the person: murder, rape, bodily harm. The proportion of those convicted of premeditated murder in 1966 was 1.7%, in 1971 - 1.9% of the total number of those convicted. In 1976, for especially grave crimes - premeditated murders, the death penalty was applied to 10 people. About a third of those convicted were convicted of hooliganism, which has become a common deviant behavior. In the years under review, more than a quarter of the total number of convicts were convicted for acquisitive crimes, in particular for theft of state and personal property. Increased the criminogenic potential of society and parasitism, at the time of the crime, more than 1/10 of the convicted did not work or study. Active alcoholization of the country led to an increase in crime and criminal record: over half of the crimes were committed by drunk people. Certain social and class differences were observed in the structure of the convicts: more than half of them were workers, collective farmers and employees occupied approximately 1/6 and 1/10 of the convicts. Pensioners and housewives committed crimes, their share in these years amounted to about 2.5% of those convicted. Over a third of the convicts had only primary education. In 1966-1971 the scale of recidivism among persons with outstanding convictions (previously convicted, serving sentences) increased by 3.6 times; in 1976, persons with previous convictions made up more than a third of all convicts, which called into question the effectiveness of the penitentiary system.

The article examines certain legal and organizational problems in the field of the execution of sentences and other measures of a criminal-legal without isolation of a convict from society, presents the results of a survey of employees of penal inspectorates of territorial bodies of the Federal Penal Service and outlines ways to solve existing problems. The study showed that the formation of a system for the execution of sentences without the isolation of a convicted person from society has not yet been completed. Improvement of criminal and penal legislation is required, a clearer legal regulation of the legal responsibility of convicts, further expansion of the range of powers and functions of penal inspectorates, overcoming difficulties in the organizational, personnel, financial and information support of their activities. The article points to the execution of a number of functions unusual for them by the penal inspectorates, the lack of legal regulation of the execution of certain preventive measures and measures of a criminal-legal nature, the procedure for determining the list of objects for convicts to serve sentences in the form of correctional labor and compulsory labor as well as the procedure ensuring the attendance of convicts at the hearing. The legislation does not provide for the initial measures to establish the whereabouts of convicts to punishment in the form of deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions or engage in certain activities, the issue of appealing directly by employees of penal inspectorates of court decisions on representations against convicts is not regulated.

Full textAbstract:
As a result of the conducted research, it was found that the measures taken in the Russian Federation for the purpose of adaptation and re-socialization of former convicts are insufficient for the following reasons. Firstly, the psychological and educational work carried out with convicts is ineffective due to the lack of trust among the latter in the staff of the psychological service. Secondly, the specialties that a convict can master in a correctional institution are not relevant. Former convicts, being livestock breeders, turners and seamstresses, cannot represent a competitive force in the labor market. Thirdly, about a quarter of all crimes are committed by previously convicted persons. These facts indicate that the adoption of the Federal Law "On Probation in the Russian Federation" is a timely measure that can prevent further recidivism of crimes and adapt former convicts to life in society. However, the text of this law excludes the concept of "pre-penitentiary probation". However, it is necessary because: 1) a small number of citizens can afford to conclude an agreement with a lawyer due to the high cost of his services; 2) courts, choosing a measure of restraint on particularly serious articles, most often decide to detain the accused, while the accused cannot fully realize their legitimate interests and build a line of defense together with their lawyers.

Full textAbstract:
The article addresses crime dynamics in European Russia provinces (guberniyas) in 1896-1912 accounting for data on the number of convicts. It studies regional features of the process as well as its differences from the general dynamics in the Russian Empire. The focus is two groups of convicts. The first one is those sentenced for personal crimes, the second one is those sentenced for property offences. The author has created thematic maps distributing convicts within guberniyas in 1896 and 1912. Moreover, she has correlated this information with the data on the size of the urban, rural and working population at the beginning and the end of the period and has visualized the dynamics of the convict number growth in 10 guberniyas of different regions of European Russia. The article concludes that the regional dynamics of the convict number growth differs from that characteristic of the Russian Empire as a whole. A GIS method applied has demonstrated that guberniyas grouped by convict numbers are similar at the beginning and the end of the period understudy. The author has revealed a correlation between the number of convicts sentenced for personal crimes and property offences. Moreover, taking into account the number of property convicts the study demonstrates rapid increase of the number of property offences by the end of the period understudy.

The aim of this article is to present the path of a convicted person from a conviction to the execution of a sentence in England in the 16th and 17th centuries. The public was particularly interested in their trials and executions. Often, the issue of a death sentence was based on political motives and it affected, for example, former advisors of the king who had stopped to enjoy the graces of the ruling monarch. The analysis focuses primarily on social elites. Aspects of execution, including the execution method, the time and clothing of the convict, and his last words, are discussed in the article. The methods of execution were outlined, taking into account that some crimes correspond with specific methods of administering the death penalty. It was most common practice to behead the heads of aristocratic convicts. There were, however, instances when the qualified death penalty was applied. I also analyzed in this study the content of the last speeches delivered by the convicts. They provide insight into how the litter penalty has been perceived in society. Also, they show whether the convicts agreed with the sentence or opposed it. Included in the narrative are the last moments of the convict, as well as his interactions with the executioner. The sources of this thesis are the correspondence, chronicles and the paper published in the 16th and 17th century. The amount of published materials concerning the executions shows the interesting in that subject in English society.

<em>This research describes the individualization of convict coaching and the special penitentiary for certain convicts. It also analyzes the understanding required to revitalize convicts' correctional facilities, which assess changes in treatment regarding those with "good behavior." Furthermore, this research examined the possibility of revitalizing convicts' penitentiary to focus on the security approach. When the basic concept of the revitalization of the penitentiary is focused on the level of "treatment," which is based on the assessment criteria of "good behavior of the convicts," the convicts are placed in the penitentiary with minimum security. Furthermore, this change assesses the ability to change the existing treatment system for convicts. This is normative legal research, with data obtained from primary and secondary legal materials through literature study. The results showed that the individualization of coaching rests on the fact of the convicts' heterogeneity based on their classification, which affects the type of coaching applied. This variety of coaching affects the facilities and infrastructure needed therefore it is based on the heterogeneity of convicts the need special Penitentiary.</em>

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of developing tests for predicting escapes of convicts, suspects and accused from pre-trial detention centers, prisons and correctional institutions, as well as the algorithm of their implementation in the automated workplace of a penitentiary psychologist. In the overall picture of penitentiary crime, the problem of escapes of convicts, suspects and accused is actual and important. The analysis of literary sources shows that in case of escapes prediction, it is necessary to consider not only criminal, but also social, biological and psychological features of convict’s personality. The psychological determinants of convicts’ escape activity include: emotional instability, conformity, increased anxiety, aggressiveness, rigidity of thinking, pessimism, suspicion, difficult process of adaptation to the conditions of serving punishment; low level of intelligence, presence of negative mental states, expressed motivation to evade serving punishment, an irresistible desire to be free, a desire to protect themselves from physical or psychological impact, active illegal activity in criminal communities. However, identification of the above qualities in convicts, suspects and accused does not allow calculating the probability of their escapes qualitatively. In order to develop psychodiagnostic tools to predict the convicts’, suspects’ and accused persons’ escape probability in terms of predictive validity, the use of “empirical-inductive” strategy of test construction is more effective. As part of this strategy, the scales of escape prediction of convicts, suspects and accused persons in the automated workplace of a penitentiary psychologist, using the psychodiagnostic system “Psychometric Expert”, were implemented. Two scales “Escape 365” and “Escape 90” were added to the method of accentuation research (G. Smishek, K. Leongard). In the method “Comprehensive study of the personality of a convict” – CSPC (E. A. Chebalova) scale “Escape 540” was added. In the method “Abbreviated multifactorial questionnaire for personality research” − Mini-mult (V. P. Zaytsev) scales “Escape 365” and “Escape 180” were added. The analysis of the practice of using predicting scales, implemented in the automated workplace of a penitentiary psychologist, shows that they are additional tools for escapes prevention.

The study aims to examine the main issues in managing the employment of convicted women serving sentences in places of confinement, as promoting respect for labor among convicts is an important factor in their social adaptation. The main objectives of the article include examining the issue of convicts’ motivation to work, emphasizing the main issues of employment for women sentenced to imprisonment, and studying foreign practices in managing convicts labor, with several states as examples. Methods of empirical (comparative analysis) and theoretical research (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction) are used as scientific research methods. As a result of the study, the authors propose solutions to the identified problems in managing labor of convicted women, such as expanding the list of professions, including creative activities, that can be mastered by convicted women, while being in demand and promising in the labor market at present. Labor for convicted women allows for both the improvement of their confinement conditions, resocialization of convicts and mastery of their personal and professional qualities, which make it possible to earn money on their own.

The authors have analyzed personal characteristics of prisoners convicted for terrorism and extremism crimes. They present the results of surveying 700 such convicts in 490 penitentiary institutions in 2015–2019 using the Standardized Multiphasic Personality Inventory (SMPI) — the Russian version of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. The authors examine the generalized profile indicators of the key scales of the Standardized Multiphasic survey of convicts prosecuted for extremism and terrorism crimes, as well as the profile indicators of three separate sub-groups of convicts: persons convicted for terrorism activities; persons convicted for extremism activities; persons convicted for extremism-terrorism activities (mixed type). Research results made it possible to state that, in order to achieve the goals of punishment for this category of persons, it is necessary to correct the corresponding personality characteristics of convicts in each sub-group. The obtained data were used to work out and implement into Russian penitentiary practice the recommendations on optimizing the achievement of the goals of punishment for these convicts. The authors were able to provide answers for some of the urgent questions on determining the specific personality characteristics of convicts guilty of such crimes. The obtained materials did not prove the thesis that the dominant share of these persons have acute accentuation of character and psychological health disorders, or that they demonstrate a readiness to violence based on their inclination to aggression and destruction. The materials, presented in the form of graphs and numbers, are ready for an independent interpretation by Russian or foreign criminologists who do not have an opportunity to survey such numbers of convicts in penitentiary institutions. The obtained data make it possible to identify persons inclined to terrorism and extremism activities on the basis of psychological profiling before they commit crimes.

Full textAbstract:
The progressive system is a complex interdisciplinary institution of criminal and penal law, which includes several independent institutions, In applying them, the legal status of the convict changes depending on the degree of their correction: the scope of their rights is either expanded or limited. In the current legislation, with the establishment of a general rule on various conditions for serving a sentence within one correctional facility, the progressive system has acquired a complete form and can be considered the basis of all punitive and educational influence on convicts. Currently, there is an urgent need for a more detailed classification of positively characterised convicts. Each positive degree of convicts’ behaviour must correspond to certain confinement conditions and to a certain institution of the progressive system, namely: upon reaching Positive Degree 1, the convict is kept in the usual conditions of a correctional facility (an institution for changing confinement conditions within one correctional facility); upon reaching Positive Degree 2, the convict is given light confinement conditions; upon reaching Positive Degree 3, the convict is given preferential confinement conditions; upon reaching Positive Degree 4, the convict is transferred to a facility of a different type; upon reaching Positive Degree 5, the institution of change of punishment is applied; upon reaching Positive Degree 6, parole of the convicted person is possible. It is necessary to release the court from the function of changing the process of executing the sentence and give this function to the supervisory commissions created at the correctional facility. The court will only appoint the type of punishment, and the execution of its decision should be entrusted to the Committee of the Penitentiary System and the Supervisory Commission. In this case, the commission collectively decides on the application of all the institutions of the progressive system, up to the institution of parole. The appointment and execution of probation is also decided on by the supervisory commission.

Full textAbstract:
One of the modes of "release ahead of time" from a penitentiary institution, or from a place of residence in which a convict may be serving his sentence, is early release. Early release can not be approved for every convict. There are exceptions to the rule that convicts are eligible for early release based on good behaviour. Early release may be granted by the director of the Administration for Execution of Prison Sentences or by a judge for enforcement of criminal sanctions. The author's attention in this paper is precisely the early release of convicts - those serving their sentence in penitentiary institutions as well as those serving them in their place of residence.

В соответствии с уголовно-исполнительным законодательством Российской Федерации предусмотрены шесть основных средств исправления осужденных, которые применяются к лицам, отбывающим уголовное наказание в виде лишения свободы. Реализация каждого из шести основных средств исправления осужденных представляет собой комплекс законодательно регламентированных мероприятий, основной целью которых является исправление осужденных и подготовка их к успешной интеграции с обществом. Рассматривая получение осужденными образования как одно из основных средств исправления, важно понимать, что если осужденный не имеет данного образования, то к нему практически невозможно применить такие средства исправления, как профессиональное обучение (осуществляется при наличии у осужденного основного общего образования), оплачиваемый общественно полезный труд (осужденные в подавляющем большинстве случаев трудоустраиваются на должности, подразумевающие наличие профессионального образования). Иначе говоря, отсутствие основного общего образования у осужденного делает практически невозможным его успешную интеграцию с обществом как законопослушного гражданина. Проводя исследование, автор анализирует российское законодательство, а также реалии деятельности учреждений уголовно-исполнительной системы и приходит к выводу, что получение совершеннолетними осужденными основного общего образования базируется на иных педагогических основах, преследующих цель не формирования, а именно развития личности осужденного. При написании статьи автором были использованы частно-научные методы. In accordance with the penitentiary legislation of the Russian Federation, there are six basic methods to correction of convicts, which are applied to persons serving a criminal sentence in the form of deprivation of liberty. The implementation of each of the six main methods is a set of legally regulated measures, the main purpose of which is the correction of convicts and preparing them for successful integration with society. Considering attaining education by convicts as one of the main methods to correction, it is important to understand that if the convict does not have this education, then it is practically impossible to apply such means of correction to him as vocational training (carried out if the convict has a basic general education), paid socially useful work (Convicts in the vast majority of cases are employed in positions that imply the presence of vocational education). In other words, the convict's lack of basic general education makes it virtually impossible for him to successfully integrate into society as a law-abiding citizen. Conducting a study, the author analyzes Russian legislation, as well as the realities of the activities of institutions of the penitentiary system, and comes to the conclusion that the receipt of basic general education by adult convicts is based on other pedagogical foundations, pursuing the goal of not forming, but developing the personality of the convict.

Full textAbstract:
This article evaluates how convict labour alleviated labour shortages experienced in the Cape Colony from 1806 to 1899. It explores and evaluates Britain's significant impact on labour policies followed in the Cape Colony and focuses on the imperial government's role in developing legislation and procedures regarding management and transportation of convicts. It also considers the influence of nineteenth century policies of convict control in Britain, and the application of these policies and labour regimes in the Cape Colony. The article describes convict transportation, anti-convict agitation by Cape colonists and the economic significance of convict labour and public works projects. Finally, the convict lease system - the practice of hiring convicts to mines and to farmers - and Cape labour legislation's role in increasing the convict labour force through criminal sanctions will be examined.

Introduction: the article presents a study conducted by means of a questionnaire survey among convicts in the Varna prison. The legal status of convicts affects their psychological and behavioral features. When studying the process of forming certain personal qualities in a criminal, we find it necessary to trace the interaction between society and personality. In particular, it is necessary to identify the negative impact of isolation on the convict’s personality in order to work on their reformation. When working with a convicted person, it is necessary to take into account such features of their personality as orientation, abilities, and age characteristics. Such people are alienated from society and its values and have a negative self-image. The present paper focuses on the moral attitudes and knowledge of convicts and on the use of their potential and desire for personal change. In this process, a comprehensive set of intellectual and volitional qualities is formed, in which self-esteem is an important factor that determines behavior and individual features. The aim of our research is to study the level of aggression in convicts and its manifestations under the conditions of isolation; we also try to work out measures to minimize the impact of places of deprivation of liberty on an individual and their relations with others. Methods: we use the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory that measures aggression, and a questionnaire that helps to interview people whose behavior is of interest to researchers. Such questionnaires are designed to assess an individual’s features in specific situations and allow us to ask questions directly. They are relatively straight and do not require complex electronic equipment. The studies confirm the thesis that the closeness of the convicts’ stay in isolation conditions generates negative feelings, which, under specific conditions, can transform into aggressive behavior. Results: summarizing the results for aggressive manifestations of convicts’ personality traits and the corresponding methods of working with convicts allow the researcher to obtain information for solving the target task. We believe that these methods can serve as a basis for building a program for psychological correction of the behavior of an individual kept in isolation. Keywords: Personality; isolation; aggression; communication; self-knowledge

Abstract The difficulties encountered by English authorities in resuming the regular and effective transportation of convicts overseas between the loss of the original American destination in 1775 and the opening of a penal settlement in New South Wales in 1787 are well known to historians of criminal justice. Far less so is the contemporaneous convict crisis in Ireland. This article considers the practice of convict transportation from Ireland throughout the eighteenth century. In particular, it examines a series of three dramatic incidents of the late 1780s in which Irish convicts were unscrupulously (though not illegally) abandoned in Cape Breton, Newfoundland and the Leeward Islands. It argues, first, that such practices were not entirely surprising given the great difficulties that had often been experienced in transporting convicts from Ireland even before 1775. It goes on to suggest that the subsequent decision of authorities in London to assume a directive role in the transportation of Irish convicts was informed by changing perceptions of the British state in both its national and imperial dimensions.

Full textAbstract:
One form of guidance for prisoners in the correctional system (WBP) in the correctional system in Indonesia is the granting of remission rights to every prison inmate who has met the requirements according to the provisions of the applicable legislation. Basically, remission is a legal means in the form of rights granted by law to every inmate (convict) who is declared to have met certain requirements. Along with the dynamics and political policies of the Indonesian government, a series of regulations have been issued that provide leniency (remission) to those convicted of corruption. Recently, it is easier for convicts of corruption to get remissions or reduced sentences. Because the Supreme Court (MA) has revoked and canceled the related article in Government Regulation Number 99 of 2012, or better known as the Government Regulation on Tightening Corrupt Remissions. After the Supreme Court's decision, the conditions for corruptors to apply for remission are the same as other convicts regardless of the type of crime that has been committed. However, the policy of granting remissions for corruptors resulted in polemics in society, pros and cons also occurred. Some of them are of the opinion that granting remissions to corruption convicts is considered to have contradicted and injured the commitment of the government of the Republic of Indonesia in eradicating corruption. the conditions for corruptors to apply for remission are the same as for other convicts regardless of the type of crime that has been committed.

The article presents the international positive experience of the probation service for juvenile convicts in the post-prison period, orienting the convict in the process of social adaptation to independent development. An individual who cares about his family and close relatives, benefits the state and society through labor, is a law-abiding citizen who meets all the requirements and generally accepted principles of a legal, modern society and sovereign state. The author of the article formulates the main conclusions, which determine that the main goal of “probation services” is to promote the successful social adaptation of persons of juvenile convicts released from prison. First of all, this assistance consists in rendering assistance to a juvenile convicted person in restoring socially useful ties, social welfare, employment, providing psychosocial, qualified legal and medical assistance, as well as preventing their recidivism. The good practice of the Probation Service of such sovereign states of the World as the Republic of Kazakhstan, Finland, France, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and Japan is presented.

Full textAbstract:
Sentencing must be guided by the principle of quae sunt minoris culpae sunt majoris infamiae (cruel crimes will be punished with cruel punishment). However, there must be a limit to the punishment (poenae sunt restringenade). In its implementation, the imposition of crimes against convicted people often creates ongoing problems in people's lives. Instead of aiming to popularize the convicts, in fact the imposition of crimes often causes suffering to the perpetrator and even his family. This study aims to determine the basis for justifying the imposition of sanctions in the punishment of criminals with special skills and to formulate the ideal concept of punishment for convicts with special skills in the future. This research is a normative legal research; the data source in this study uses secondary data consisting of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials. The approach in this research uses a statutory approach, a comparative approach and a conceptual approach. Based on the results of the study, it shows that the basis for justifying the imposition of sanctions for criminal acts with special expertise is the Mark system of penalties. The use of the Double Track System in the punishment of convicts who have special expertise in the field of science so that it is in line with the criminal purpose of providing education, in addition to being convicted with the main crime, the convict is also subject to acts in the form of social work by teaching/transforming the knowledge/expertise possessed to people, many through certain educational/research institution/institutions online (on line).

Full textAbstract:
Incentive measures may be applied to juvenile convicts for conscientious behavior and attitude to work and education, active participation in the work of amateur organizations and educational activities (paragraph 1, part 1, article 144 of the Criminal Executive Code of Ukraine). However, the legislator does not define the content of most of the grounds for the application of incentive measures established by him, therefore the article clarifies the essence and peculiarities of each of them. The author analyzed the difference between such reasons and the reasons for applying incentive measures to adult convicts, defined in paragraph 1, part 1, article 130 CECU. The article establishes the meaning of the evaluative nature of the grounds for applying incentive measures. The author revealed the meaning of the terms "conscientious" and "active". The author considered the interpretation of the essence of the analyzed grounds in the Methodological recommendations of the State Department of Ukraine for Execution of Punishments regarding the organization of work related to the application of parole to persons deprived of their liberty by 2005, in the Methodological recommendations of the SDUEP for drawing up a characteristic of convicts by 2008 and in the Methodological recommendations for assessing the degree of correction of convicts by 1979. The article reveals various views of scientists regarding the understanding of the content and scope of the researched grounds for the use of incentive measures. Therefore, the author clarified the criteria for determining the presence of signs of conscientiousness in the convict's behavior and characterized the essence of the conscientious behavior of the convict, his conscientious attitude to work and education; and features of active participation of convicts both in the work of amateur organizations and in educational activities were revealed. The article states the need to more clearly formalize the content and scope of the grounds for applying incentive measures to juvenile convicts at the legislative level. The author proposed to legally distinguish 5 types of the following grounds: 1) conscientious behavior; 2) conscientious attitude to work; 3) conscientious attitude to education; 4) active participation in the work of amateur organizations; 5) active participation in educational activities.

Full textAbstract:
This research aims to analyze how former convicts can contribute to the strategic management of countering criminal acts of terrorism. This research uses the concepts of bonding, bridging, and linking as dimensions of social capital offered by Robert Putnam (2020). Data processing was carried out using in-depth interviews supported by observations of the convict development program. This research shows that former convicts can create a sense of togetherness and group identity, understand alternative narratives in religion and society, and build positive relations with the state as an organization among other convicts. From this research, it is concluded that the involvement of former convicts in the deradicalization program has a positive impact, so its implementation needs to be mainstreamed in implementing the deradicalization program.

The article is devoted to the relationship between the type of crime for which the convicted person is serving a sentence, the level of education, the presence of socially useful connections, the age of the convicted person and the level of his life orientation, which includes such indicators as: the general indicator of the meaningfulness of life, goals in life, the process of life, the effectiveness of life, the locus of control – I, the locus of control – life. The attitude of convicts to such vital components as: health, family, future, self-realization in work was also studied. The study used the "Test of life-meaning orientations" by D. Crambo, A. Maholik in the adaptation of D. A. Leont'ev, and the color test of relations by A. M. Etkind. In order to study life-meaning orientations and preferences in different spheres of life, 93 convicts serving sentences for various crimes were examined. The results of the study of convicts’ personality characteristics can be used by correctional officers to identify problematic aspects in the development of convicts’ personality, develop programs aimed at solving these problems and develop the strengths of convicts’ personality.

AbstractThis article explores the transportation of Indian convicts to the port cities of the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean during the period 1789 to 1866. It considers the relationship between East India Company transportation and earlier and concurrent British Crown transportation to the Americas and Australia. It is concerned in particular with the interconnection between convictism and enslavement in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds. Examining the roots of transportation in South Asia in the repressive policies of the East India Company, especially in relation to its occupation of land and expropriation of resources, it moves on to discuss aspects of convicts’ lives in Moulmein, Singapore, Mauritius, and Aden. This includes their labour regime and their relationship to other workers. It argues that Indian convict transportation was part of a carceral circuit of repression and coerced labour extraction that was intertwined with the expansion of East India Company governance and trade. The Company used transportation as a means of removing resistant subjects from their homes, and of supplying an unfree labour force to develop commodity exports and to build the infrastructure necessary for the establishment, population, and connection of littoral nodes. However, the close confinement and association of convicts during transportation rendered the punishment a vector for the development of transregional political solidarities, centred in and around the Company's port cities.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of development of the penal system of the Russian Federation until 2020 indicates the need for new modern approaches in organizing educational work with prisoners. The need for an individual approach is due to the fact that any effect on a person is refracted through his characteristics, “internal conditions” and is aimed at studying, encouraging or punishing, correcting or shaping and developing the behavior properties of a particular convict. The essence of this approach is the flexible use by the teacher of various forms and methods of educational impact in order to achieve optimal results of the correctional process. Effective forms and methods of individual educational work in penal practice include the method of character reconstruction aimed at teaching convicts productive behaviors, developing the ability to take responsibility for their behavior in various life situations; a method of communicative regulation aimed at developing the communicative sphere of prisoners; individual trainings with convicts of various categories (individual pedagogical exercises and tasks, questioning (testing, conversation, individual consultations), during which convicts receive answers to their questions; a method of alternating organizational tasks, which allows solving such problems as teaching convicts elementary managerial skills, ways of interacting with people, as well as understanding the essence of the positions of both the organizer of his own behavior and his subordinate; strengthening the emotional field of joint creative affairs, providing a special set of psychological tools aimed at enhancing emotional stress, developing sincerity, emotional closeness, emotional elevation of the convicted person (pleasant communication, approval of creative finds, psychological support); reflexive self-education method, when using which deeper psychological mechanisms are used that promote personality self-regulation), etc. The educational impact is carried out taking into account the age and individual characteristics of the person, the level of development of his moral upbringing, constant observation, studying the changes in human qualities in the life process of the correctional institution. The advantage of using various forms and methods during the implementation of an individual approach in working with convicts is that they are aimed at identifying and mobilizing the internal and external resources of the person. An individual approach to correction is one of the effective ways to help the convict, since any educational impact reaches the goal, if refracted through specific personality traits, helps to identify individual characteristics and social stereotypes of activity, predicting the behavior and effectiveness of the correction process.

Convicts account for at least one-quarter of British migration to mid-eighteenth-century America. Their transportation to and disposal in America was essentially an experiment in privatizing post-trial criminal justice. A model of this trade is developed that yields testable implications regarding the relative distributional moments of convict auction prices, the size of shipper profits, and how convicts were selected for transportation.

The polemic of ex-convict candidates for legislative members has given special attention to academics and the general public. In this case, the polemic lies in the overlap between regulations number 7 of 2017 about General Elections and Regulation of Election Commission number 20 of 2018 about the nominations of DPR, provincial DPRD and Regency / city DPRD members. The core problem in the regulation is the limitation of political rights for ex-convicts (Croupier of Drugs, Sexual Crimes against Children and Corruption). Whereas the higher level regulation does not limit this. This research is a library research. Namely research that uses all sources of research from books, journals, articles, research, laws, and from the internet. After the sources are obtained and then analyzed using related theories. This research focuses on the normativity strategy that should have been carried out and applied by the general election commission in limiting former convicts in the 2019 general election. The normativity strategy that should be carried out by the general election commission on the limitation of convicted persons in general elections in Indonesia is the making of regulations relating to the submission of honesty to the public that those who nominate themselves as prospective legislative candidates are ex-convicts. One of the strategies that must be regulated in the regulation is, Submission to the public through social media, in this case the delivery must be regulated more stringently and in more detailed procedures, because it is feared that political actors whose status as ex-convicts only pay to one television station and get a certificate or proof. However, the provision of information is not broadcast on the television station, and so forth.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the content of the social perception of convicts about the attitude of society towards ever imprisoned persons. It is noted that the very fact of a conviction often causes a wary attitude of people towards former convicts, which significantly complicates the process of their adaptation to life in freedom. The negative assessment of the personality and behavior of criminals which still persists in public opinion even after they have served their sentence and this contributes to the fact that convicts feel themselves as a group being subjected to stigmatization. An empirical study tested the hypothesis that in convicted persons’ view, who have served their sentences in places of deprivation of liberty, are still criminals in public opinion who constitute a menace even after their release. The assessment of society position about people with conviction by convicts is associated with the experience of those who were in places of liberty deprivation. Repeatedly convicted persons as compared with those who were convicted for the first time are surer in negative and biased treatment of former prisoners.
To study the content of social perceptions a mixed research strategy was used. It consists in integrating of methods for collecting and analyzing data of qualitative and quantitative strategies. The study used specially designed interview plan and rating scale constructed on the basis of the data obtained with its help. The research sample includes groups of convicts formed depending on the number of sentences served. The results of the research allow us to conclude that in convicts’ perception there is a negative society attitude towards former prisoners which manifests itself in social distance from them in various spheres of social interaction. Persons who have previously served their sentences in places of deprivation of liberty, unlike those convicted for the first time, demonstrate greater confidence in the discriminatory nature of society’s attitude towards their group.
