Abstract

Achieving the goals of criminal penalties is possible only if they are effectively implemented, which requires, first of all, the provision of appropriate conditions and an individual approach to the execution of sentences in prisons. The current state of the penitentiary system, the achievements of science and penitentiary practice indicate the need for balanced and reasonable humanization of penal sentences. To solve this complex, multi-vector problem, an integrated approach is necessary, taking into account, among other things, the individual psychological component. Along with reducing excessive repressiveness of criminal justice, ensuring proper conditions of detention and treatment of persons held in penitentiary institutions, ensuring their individual (physical, mental, socio-epidemiological, etc.) and group security, it is relevant to ensure the individualization of the conditions for serving a sentence, correction of these persons and ensuring their further social adaptation (resocialization). A separate important aspect of determining the directions and limits of the humanization of sentences (both individually and in terms of large-scale research within the framework of a socio-psychological approach) is the monitoring psychodiagnostics of convicts using psychophysiological methods to ensure reliable information from convicts about the recognition of guilt, acceptance of conditions of punishment, the level of expectations, the orientation of the personality and the dynamics of its correction, etc.
