Journal Title: Юридичний науковий електронний журнал - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue
Abstract
In the article the author analyses the problems of convicts’ placement in criminal and executive institutions of close type, that is insufficient conformity of modern conditions to European standards and rules. The author investigates trends and ways of reforming the conditions of confinement in correctional colonies with the aim to make them confirm to European norms of convicts’ placement. At present solitary confinement in the Ukrainian penitentiary system is considered as the kind of disciplinary sanction enforced to the convict. But the conditions provided in such confinement are too severe and harsh and are the adequate reaction of the society at breaking the requirements of institutional regulations but such conditions can’t be enforced for the whole term of imprisonment and are enforced only for the clearly fixed short term that not only reflects the modern penitentiary experience of the developed countries of Europe but requirements of the international standards in the field of convicts’ rights protection as well. Under general rules solitary confinement is considered as a kind of sanction that is enforced to a convict and means a convict’s solitary confinement for 23 hours a day with one-hour walk in the open air and with a minimum contact with others. If convicts break the requirements of the institutional regulations: warming; reprimand; strict reprimand; disciplinary sanction of fine in the amount of two minimum wages; forfeiture of the improved conditionals of confinement. Solitary confinement will ensure investigating every convict individually and enforcing means of correction and resocialization in the order mostly favorable for an individual.
