Abstract

This publication is dedicated to the concept and provision of regime management in penal institutions and detention centers. It identifies a range of directions related to improving the organization of regimes, security, and order maintenance in correctional and detention facilities. The aim of the article is to explore the concepts of regime, security, and protection in international normative and legal acts, as well as publications by domestic and foreign scholars, and propose conceptual harmonization of these concepts in the process of criminal punishment execution. The article examines the model of the system’s procedures and means for organizing regimes, security, and safety in correctional facilities. To enhance the domestic concept of regime organization, security, and safety, the authors recommend referring to the principles and approaches set out in international legal documents, particularly in the Mandela Rules (the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners), the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, as well as the European Prison Rules. The article also highlights the role of understanding the concept of “regime” and its objectives for the effective implementation of the mentioned requirements. In particular, the regime is positioned as a tool for shaping socially acceptable behavior of convicts and prisoners. Attention is drawn to the need for the correct use of the terms “security” and “safety” in the national concept. Thus, the difference between these concepts is proposed to be understood through the prism of considering the “influence on the objectives of intentional and unintentional circumstances.” This publication contributes to understanding the importance of improving the penitentiary system and offers conceptual recommendations for enhancing the organization of regimes, security, and safety in penal institutions and detention centers in line with international standards. Key words: Regime in penal institutions, Improving safety and security, Conceptual harmonization of concepts «safety» and «security», Model of regime, security, and safety organization.
