Ways to optimize the application of incentive norms and institutions that stimulate lawabiding behavior in relation to persons sentenced to life imprisonment are considered in the article. Taking into account the recommendations of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on implementation of life imprisonment execution and other long sentences by prison administrations (Rec (2003) 23) and the experience of foreign countries (e.g. Switzerland), it is proposed to supplement the Penal legislation with a norm providing for transfer of positively characterized convicts sentenced to life imprisonment in a penal colony of high security (after serving at least 20 years in a penal colony of special regime for life imprisonment). The possibility of transferring convicts from a penal colony of a strict regime to a colonysettlement for convicts in risk case of crimes recidivism, sentenced to life imprisonment, who have the death penalty by way of pardon replaced by imprisonment in order to increase the effectiveness of the incentive impact on them is, also considered. Permission to transfer to a colonysettlement for these categories of convicts will contribute to maintenance and restoration of their socially useful ties and successful adaptation to conditions of life in society. It is also proposed to change the mechanism of parole and provide this incentive institution only in relation to positively characterized convicts sentenced to life imprisonment, transferred by a court decision from a correctional colony of special regime for convicts sentenced to life imprisonment in a correctional colony of strict regime. In addition, it is necessary to give the right to the court to release parolees sentenced to life imprisonment, provided the implementation of electronic monitoring of them for a certain probationary period (for example, 5 years). At the same time, it is advisable to assign the functions of monitoring these citizens to Penal inspections of the FPS of Russia.
