Інституціональні підходи до нової моделі пенітенціарної системи в період відбудови України

Abstract

У статті розкрито питання інституціонального переходу кримінально-виконавчої системи України в пенітенціарну систему шляхом реалізації трансформаційних процесів формування нової моделі в період відбудови України. Доведено, що цей трансформаційний процес формування нової моделі в період відбудови України є одним із пріоритетів діяльності Міністерства юстиції України. Доведено, що розв’язання вказаних проблем стане додатковим кроком на шляху до інституціонального переходу нової моделі пенітенціарної системи в період відбудови України. The article addresses the issue of the institutional transition of the criminal enforcement system of Ukraine into a penitentiary system through the implementation of transformational processes aimed at building a new model during the period of Ukraine’s reconstruction. It is substantiated that this transformational process of developing a new model in the period of post-war recovery is one of the priority areas of activity of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine. Among the relevant theoretical and practical issues of forming a new model of the penitentiary system during Ukraine’s reconstruction, a number of problems are identified, the solution of which is expected to have a positive impact on the new penitentiary model. These include: 1. legislative updating of the "transition concept" from the criminal enforcement system of Ukraine to a penitentiary system; 2. assessment of the state of medical and sanitary care for convicts in penitentiary institutions of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine; 3. analysis of the conditions for the execution and serving of criminal sentences in penitentiary institutions of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine; 4. evaluation of the impact of social correction measures on the socialization, resocialization, and reintegration of convicts. It is proved that addressing these issues will constitute an additional step toward: eliminating the causes and conditions that give rise to applications by convicts to the European Court of Human Rights; introducing innovative and digital technologies into the activities of penitentiary institutions, as well as incorporating the achievements of domestic scholars of both theoretical and practical orientation; transforming the relationships between staff and convicts based on a balance of interests, taking into account the recommendations of the European Prison Rules; improving the system of incentives for convicts to encourage lawful behavior and resocialization through the introduction of a gradual change in detention conditions, the development and implementation of rehabilitation programs, and the establishment of effective cooperation between penitentiary institutions and local self-government bodies, public and religious organizations.
