ASSIGNING AND EXECUTION OF SANCTIONS RELATED TO EMPLOYMENT EFFECTS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF RE-SOCIALIZATION OF PRISONERS

Abstract

The article attempts to assess the effectiveness of alternative punishments with labor impact from the point of view of resocialization purposes. It is concluded that wide possibilities of resocialization of convicts are conditioned by the preservation of their professional, labor skills, as well as the duration of resocialization influence in connection with the continuation of socially useful activities and after serving such sentences. Moral and psychological influence on convicts, effective informal social control on the part of the family, labor collective, friends, and socially useful joint work are considered as factors contributing to the successful resocialization of convicts to alternative punishments associated with labor influence. The expediency of the use of labour-related penalties in law enforcement is confirmed by the low rate of recidivism. The article defines the ways to overcome the shortcomings of current regulation of mandatory, corrective, forced labor, impeding the resocialization of convicts.
