Abstract
The article reveals some issues of application of incentive norms and institutions that stimulate law-abiding behavior of convicts sentenced to life imprisonment. It is proposed to supplement the penal enforcement legislation with a provision providing for the transfer of positively characterized convicts to life imprisonment to a penal colony of strict regime after serving at least 20 years in a correctional colony of special regime for life imprisonment. In order to increase the effectiveness of the incentive effect on convicts it also seems appropriate to provide for the possibility of transferring convicts from the strict regime to the colony-settlement for the following categories of persons: convicted with a particularly dangerous relapse of crimes; convicted to life imprisonment; convicted persons who have been commuted to the death penalty by way of pardon. The possibility of transfer to the colony-settlement for these categories of convicts will contribute to the maintenance and restoration of their socially useful ties and successful adaptation to the conditions of life in society. In addition it is necessary to change the mechanism of grant of parole and provide for this incentive institution only in respect of positively characterized convicts to life imprisonment, transferred by a court decision from the special regime for convicts to life imprisonment in the strict regime.
