The article analyzes the role of a pre-trial detention center as a subjects of anti-drug activity and a penal institution. The author uses the official data of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia to provide various indicators of illicit narcotics and psychotropic substance trafficking in penal institutions. She also relies on the results of a survey of penitentiary employees on the issue of increasing the detention center effectiveness in counteracting drug trafficking. Criminal-minded people (including those who were engaged in illegal drug trafficking) impinge upon the stability and controllability of the regime in pre-trial detention centers. The author examines the legal foundations and basic directions of countering the illicit trafficking of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances in pre-trial detention centers and draws attention to the fact that the operational-search activity carried out in pre-trial detention centers is possible only with the obligatory participation of the operational officer. Among the conditions for the correct organization of interaction between the structural units in the pre-trial detention center, a special place belongs to the organizational and functional structure. Having analyzed the legal norms consolidating the methods and means of operational work, including the exchange of operatively significant information and the works about management in law enforcement agencies, the author concludes that it is necessary to combine the positions of deputy for operational work and deputy for regime to coordinate efforts aimed at countering drug trafficking in pre-trial detention centers. Despite the existing contradictions in the organizational and functional structure of the detention facility, the unity and mutual assistance of all structural units of the detention facility to counteract illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances requires the implementation of a unified state anti-drug strategy.

It is established that the geographical location of the Irkutsk region affects the structure and dynamics of crimes committed. The types of prohibited items (drugs) that are most common in the region, the territory of their growth and supply are determined. The level of anesthesia of the population is analyzed, its dynamics from 2016 to 2020 is studied.

Работа посвящена организационно-правовым аспектам использования технических средств для обнаружения наркотических и психотропных веществ в ИУ и СИЗО. Рассмотрены основные способы их поступления с акцентированием внимания на таком способе, как пронос наркотических средств и (или) психотропных веществ через контрольно-пропускной пункт различных субъектов. Выявлены проблемные аспекты досмотровых мероприятий, проводимых сотрудниками УИС ФСИН России на данном пункте. Проблема заключается в не урегулированном на сегодняшний день перечне используемых технических средств обнаружения наркотических средств и (или) психотропных веществ в процессе прохода лиц на территорию исправительного учреждения или следственного изолятора. В работе рассмотрены некоторые тактико-технические данные технических средств, которые используются таможенными органами, которые могут быть использованы и сотрудниками УИС. Предложены некоторые варианты решения рассматриваемых проблем путем внесения в нормативно-правовые акты Федеральной службы исполнения наказаний норм, устанавливающих порядок и условия использования технических средств по обнаружению наркотических средств и (или) психотропных веществ на контрольно-пропускном пункте людей. The work is devoted to the organizational and legal aspects and the flow of narcotic drugs and (or) psychotropic substances into the territory of correctional institutions or pre-trial detention centers for convicts in various ways. The main methods of their receipt are considered, with an emphasis on such a method as bringing narcotic drugs and (or) psychotropic substances through the checkpoint of various subjects. The problematic aspects of the inspection activities at this point, which are carried out by penal employees, have been identified. The problem lies in the currently unregulated list of the use of technical means for detecting narcotic drugs and (or) psychotropic substances in the process of the passage of persons into the territory of a correctional institution or a pre-trial detention center. The paper considers some tactical and technical data of technical means that are used by customs authorities, which can serve as an example of their implementation in the penal system of Russia. Some options are proposed for solving the problems under consideration by introducing norms into the regulatory legal acts of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia that establish the procedure and conditions for the use of technical means for the detection of narcotic drugs and (or) psychotropic substances at the checkpoint of people.

This article provides a classification and characteristics of persons convicted for crimes in the field of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances illicit trafficking. The article deals with the statistics in this sphere over the past five years. Based on the collected empirical evidence the authors analyzed the qualitative indicators of convicted drug offenders. The examination of statistical data from investigative and judicial practice on crimes in the field of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances illicit trafficking made it possible to sketch a criminal profile of a person sentenced to imprisonment: a citizen of the Russian Federation, a male between 18 to 39 years, having a secondary general or vocational education. Moreover, the personality of a convicted person is characterized by his internal criteria deformation devaluing the norms and rules that express and consolidate public interests. The authors also conducted a comparative analysis of offenders convicted both in the Russian Federation and in such federal subjects as Saint-Petersburg and Leningrad region. The choice of St. Petersburg as one of the objects of this research is justified by the fact that it has been among the leaders of the regions with the largest number of recorded drug-related crimes for several years.

This research focuses on the role of health workers in carrying out health services for WBP in Detention Centers. The research method used is a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques used are field research by conducting interviews and observations as well as literature studies. Based on the results of research conducted it is known that the role of health workers in detention centers is in accordance with their main duties and functions. Detention centers have a Polyclinic as a place for the implementation of health services in detention centers. In addition in the implementation of health services, there is an MoU between the detention center and the Government. In this case the provision of free health services with a National Identity Card (KTP) at a government-owned health agency. In addition, the detention center supports the implementation of the National Health Insurance for Penitentiary Guides in the Detention Center. But in the implementation of health services, the role of health workers does not run optimally because health workers in detention centers are only nurses' medical backgrounds, besides the lack of supporting infrastructure. After analyzing various facts, several alternative solutions were found to be done by: increasing the number of human resources for medical doctors in detention centers. Each disease experienced by WBP can be directly dealt with in detention centers and the addition of infrastructure facilities so that the role of health workers in the implementation of health services in Detention center can run optimally.

This chapter examines the origins of the global drug control regime that was established between 1961 and 1988, the cornerstone of which is the Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances 1988 (the Trafficking Convention). It attempts to explain how the humanistic and philanthropic enterprise represented by the Trafficking Convention and supported by overwhelming international sentiment has become distorted by state policy and organised crime to become the source of wars, offending, disease, and loss of life on an unprecedented scale. It suggests that the unremittingly penal and prohibitive approach to the problem of illicit drugs represented by the Trafficking Convention has served only to magnify the criminality associated with drug trafficking and it concludes by considering the ways in which states have sought to escape from the Convention’s restrictions as well as investigating contemporary moves for reform.
