Abstract

Purpose of the study: development of directions and basic model of resocialization of convicts. This study uses a three-factor dichotomous baseline model of convict resocialization with a single “external-internal” dichotomy. This model defines the “vectors of development” of a convict and shows the common factors of this process, which correctional officers need to consider when organizing re-socialization work with this category of people. The research resulted in conclusions from the analysis of three factor-categories of pedagogy: “education”, “training” and “education”, determining the objective (external) position of the individual, and “self-learning” and “self-education”, determining the subjective (internal) position of the individual. While using the principle of “semantic proximity”, a three-factor basic-dichotomous “superimposition” of these factors-categories of pedagogy on such concepts as “values”, “activity”, “intellect” has been performed. This “superposition” results in three combined basic psycho-pedagogical factors (“value education”, “active learning”, “intellectual education”). From this model, it becomes clear what direction correctional officers should work in terms of “developing the consciousness” of the convict, given the factors in question. The novelty of the study is that the work shows specific examples of activities performed by the staff with convicts, which are associated with the implementation of these factors and the impact on the process of resocialization.

Highlights

  • One of the current problems is the resocialization of convicts

  • With the help of the staff and the environment of the penitentiary institution (PI) there is an external “objective impact” on the convict’s consciousness, which will form his/her internal “subject position”

  • It turns out that the external object influence in correctional institutions initiates the formation of an internal subjective position of consciousness on the part of the convict. This is the dialectics of formation of the released person’s resocialization due to the development of the internal subjective position of the convict, which is influenced by the external objective influence of the staff and the developing environment of the correctional institution during the period of serving the sentence)

Summary

Introduction

Resocialization of convicts implies a process of adaptation and restoration of skills to enter society after release from punishment. This is a system of rehabilitative measures to restore social functions weakened or lost while serving a criminal sentence and the status of the individual. It is necessary to organize the work of penitentiary teachers, psychologists, and psychiatrists in such a way that, with the help of their reflection of the problems of the convict in the sphere of the developing “space” (S) of the prison environment, the regulation of relations between employees and convicts in the developing environment of the prison that require “energy” (E) costs, so to implement effective methods of psychotherapy for the convict within a certain “time” (T) and achieve positive results in this process. An “informational development” will be formed for the convict and will have a positive effect on his/her future re-socialization [6,7,8,9]
