The article deals with the problems of the number and distribution of persons sentenced to imprisonment in the penal system of the Russian Federation.
As a result of the ongoing reforms to humanize the criminal and penal enforcement legislation of the Russian Federation in the last decade, there has been a tendency to reduce the number of convicts in places of deprivation of liberty. Over the past 20 years, the legislature has adopted a number of laws regulating the number and distribution of prisoners sentenced to imprisonment in correctional institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia. In fact, we are talking about the main five changes in the criminal executive law of the Russian Federation.
The reduction in the number of persons sentenced to deprivation of liberty leads to a decrease in the number of correctional institutions (their liquidation and conservation) and a reduction in the staff of correctional institutions and individual units of the Russian penal system. The regulator of the number and distribution of persons sentenced to imprisonment in the Russian penal system is not only the correctional institutions themselves, but also the territorial bodies of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia and the central office of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia. Purpose – based on the study of criminal-Executive legislation of the Russian Federation and the practice show the problem of differentiation of persons sentenced to imprisonment in correctional institutions of the Federal penitentiary service of Russia. The research methods in the scientific article are universal methods (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, analogy and modeling); empirical methods (generalization, classification); theoretical methods (idealization, hypothetical-deductive method); concrete scientific methods (statistical), etc. The conclusions and results of the work are determined by
the achievement of its goals.
