Theoretical and legal bases of the organisation of control over people sentenced to punishment without isolation from society

The desire of the legislator to bring modern criminal and penal enforcement legislation in line with international standards has led to the fact that a number of criminally punishable offenses became administrative; sanctions for a number of crimes included compulsory labour as an alternative punishment to deprivation of liberty, and a relatively new penal measures of deferred sentence appeared. All this led to a significant reduction in the number of persons sentenced to imprisonment and increased the number of those are sentenced to various penalties without isolation from society. The level of public security seems to have increased significantly, but one should not rush to conclusions, since the public danger of those who committed crimes previously punished with deprivation of liberty (substituted with alternatives penalties now) cannot simply cease to exist from the moment of release or transfer from the correctional institution to the penitentiary inspection. This is confirmed by the rates of recidivism, as well as statistics on the number of repeated crimes, among which a special place is occupied by those that were committed by persons serving sentences alternative to deprivation of liberty. Presumably, the ineffectiveness of the execution of punishments and other penal measures alternative to deprivation of liberty can be explained by the fact that the penitentiary inspectors are unable to implement the measures required by the penal enforcement legislation to achieve the purposes of punishment due to practical problems, which will be discussed further. It all often comes to one thing - the organization of control of the accountants. This turns out to be insufficient to correct the convict, to help them become a law-abiding citizen, to create social conditions which can prevent them from committing new criminal acts. Thus, the assessment of the effectiveness of the penitentiary inspectorates is incapable of giving objective results, especially since the assessment methods are seriously outdated, the number of these units of the penal enforcement system is insufficient to organise the execution of penalties against such a large number of convicts who stand on account in the penal institute.
