В статье актуализируется необходимость исследования вопросов квалификации незаконного сбыта наркотических средств и психотропных веществ в учреждениях уголовно-исполнительной системы. Представлены и проанализированы статистические данные, иллюстрирующие сложившуюся криминальную ситуацию в сфере незаконного оборота наркотических средств и психотропных веществ, а также примеры из судебной практики, порождающие немало вопросов. Среди уголовно-правовых проблем, связанных с незаконным оборотом наркотических средств и психотропных веществ, особо выделяются проблемы квалификации незаконного сбыта наркотиков, а также особенности юридической оценки такого сбыта, совершенного сотрудником пенитенциарного учреждения. Для решения обозначенной проблемы приведены руководящие разъяснения высшей судебной инстанции по данной категории дел, мнения ученых-юристов, тщательно изучены теоретические и практические аспекты тематики. На основе проведенного анализа установлено, что оценка деяния сотрудника учреждения уголовно-исполнительной системы, выразившегося в приобретении для осужденного или заключенного под стражу наркотического средства или психотропного вещества, как пособничества в приобретении наркотика без цели сбыта не соответствует смыслу закона, противоречит рекомендациям Пленума Верховного суда РФ, имеет не свойственную для приобретения без цели сбыта крайне высокую степень общественной опасности, а также дает возможность освобождения от уголовной ответственности. В завершение исследования подведены его итоги, подчеркнута необходимость пересмотра разъяснений Верховного суда Российской Федерации по данной категории дел, а также серьезной переработки уголовно-правовых норм об ответственности за незаконный сбыт наркотических средств и психотропных веществ. The article actualizes the need to study the criminal law aspects of the illegal sale of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances in penitentiary institutions. Statistical data are presented and analyzed to illustrate the current criminal situation in the field of illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, as well as examples from judicial practice that raise many questions. Among the criminal law problems associated with the illicit trafficking of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, the problems of qualifying illegal drug trafficking, as well as the peculiarities of the legal assessment of such a sale made by a penitentiary institution employee, are especially highlighted. To solve the indicated problem, the leading explanations of the highest court on this category of cases, the opinions of legal scholars are given, the theoretical and practical aspects of the topic are carefully studied. Based on the analysis, it was found that the assessment of the act of an employee of the penitentiary system, expressed in the acquisition of a narcotic drug or psychotropic substance for a convicted or imprisoned person, as aiding in the purchase of a drug without a sale purpose does not correspond to the meaning of the law, contradicts the recommendations of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation has an extremely high degree of social danger, which is not typical for acquiring without a marketing objective, and also makes it possible to exempt from criminal No responsibility. At the end of the study, its results were summarized, the need to review the clarifications of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on this category of cases, as well as a serious revision of criminal law on liability for the illegal sale of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, was emphasized.

Illicit use of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors is dangerous to human health and society. This causes changes in behavior, emotional state and can cause severe psychological disorders. It also undermines the social structure of the community. Due to their effect on the brain, drugs can be addictive, leading to loss of interest in many areas of life. Drugs are under national and international control to prevent the negative health and social consequences of drug abuse. Given the fact that minors are important stakeholders in the system of state policy to combat drug use and distribution, there is no doubt that there are certain specific features of drug addiction among minors depending on the country's geographical location, drug policy, drug or psychotropic substance sales and cultural factor. For example, drug-addicted juveniles are addressed at the state level, such policies are aimed at responding quickly to the increasing number of juvenile crimes committed by juveniles in society, and it is young people who are often the focus of drug policy decisions. There are a number of initiatives and activities aimed at better understanding the specifics of drug use among young people. However, the analysis of minors' opinions and ideas about programs and control measures aimed at reducing the harm caused by drug use is currently limited. As in all areas of public policy, adequate consultation with all relevant stakeholders is an important part of the process of effectively developing measures to combat drug trafficking. Therefore, the main administrative and legal measures to combat juvenile delinquency in relation to illicit trafficking, use and distribution of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors were identified. The main authorized subjects and their role in the development and implementation of effective measures of administrative and legal nature to reduce the use, distribution and circulation of drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors among minors are also identified.

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.
