Abstract (English):
The purpose of considering the problem of serving sentences by minors sentenced to imprisonment is to substantiate the need to create local sections of educational colonies at correctional institutions of a combined type. On the basis of theoretical material, as well as judicial statistics, the author’s reasoned position on the need to organize these correctional institutions is given. It is noted that the right of convicts to serve their sentences near their place of residence exists and is regulated by law, however, taking into account the humanization of criminal policy in relation to minors, their number has been decreasing for several years, which makes it impossible to create educational colonies in each region (subject or district). In addition, the majority of minors who end up in places of deprivation of liberty are serving their sentences repeatedly, from which it can be concluded that our society is not ready to completely abandon the appointment of deprivation of liberty to minors. When implementing the provisions of the Concept of the Development of the Penal Enforcement System of the Russian Federation until 2030, in terms of the creation of joint-type institutions, it is necessary to provide for a section of an educational colony, and taking into account the small number of minors serving imprisonment, these sections may not be created in every region, but at the interregional level, and the limit of their filling may be 20-30 convicts. Thus, the number of institutions for serving sentences by minors will be adjusted, and by increasing their number, the principle of serving sentences near the place of residence will be observed. The creation of such joint correctional institutions will not entail large material costs, since they will be formed within the existing infrastructure of correctional institutions.
