The article analyzes the current problems of legal regulation and the application of incentives and penalties for convicts serving sentences of imprisonment. The scientific work contains a historical content analysis of the current systems of measures of incentives and penalties in different periods of the historical development of society and the penal system of the Russian Federation. Based on the conducted empirical research among 20 employees - detachment commanders from 13 regions of Russia, undergoing advanced training the program «Organization of educational work» in the Vologda Institute of Law and Economics of the Federal Penal Service of Russia, the authors of the article prepared a number of recommendations and suggestions for improving the current legislation and its application in this area. The article draws attention to the exclusion of ineffective incentives from the penal legislation of the Russian Federation, in particular, the award of a gift and a cash prize. Proposals were made to expand the list of incentive measures to ensure the differentiation and individualization of the sentence of imprisonment. The authors made proposals to improve the penalties applied to those sentenced to imprisonment: to increase the size of the disciplinary penalty, taking into account inflation, not to include the convicted person in a punishment cell and a single chamber type in the general term of serving a sentence, to add the list of penalties. In addition, the article deals with the problems of recognizing a convict as a malicious violator of the established order of punishment. The results of the study can be used in the educational process in the study of legal disciplines, in the law enforcement practice of employees of the penal system of the Russian Federation, as well as for further research in this area.

Одним из проблемных вопросов, возникающих при функционированнии следственных изоляторов в России, является наличие в незаконном пользовании у лиц, содержащихся под стражей, запрещенных к использованию, хранению и приобретению предметов, в частности средств мобильной связи, а также апгрейдов, обеспечивающих их более широкий спектр действия и работу. В целях обеспечения наиболее качественного выполнения служебных задач по предупреждению поступления в незаконное пользование лицам, изолированным от общества и содержащимся в следственных изоляторах, средств мобильной связи помимо установленного на контрольно-пропускных пунктах по пропуску людей оборудования, использующегося для досмотра, в ряде учреждений широко применяются рентген-установки для досмотра как личных вещей, так и ручной клади. Кроме того, на объектах оборудованы отсекающие тамбуры, используемые для хранения личных вещей сотрудников учреждения и лиц, его посещающих. Несомненно, обеспечение учреждений обозначенными техническими средствами финансово затратно, учитывая сокращение финансирования ФСИН России, при этом фактов проноса запрещенных предметов на территорию следственных изоляторов меньше не становится. Проникновение запрещенных предметов на территорию следственных изоляторов УИС происходит, как правило, в уязвимых для этого местах (сокрытие под одеждой, в медицинских протезах и т. д.). Передача или попытка передачи запрещенных предметов, изделий и веществ признается оконченным правонарушением в тот момент, когда совершены действия, прямо направленные на их доставку, то есть они были пронесены на территорию режимного объекта. One of the most urgent problems of the activity of the investigative isolators of the Penal System of the Russian Federation is the fight against the entry of prohibited items into places of detention, especially mobile communication devices and their accessories. In order to increase the effectiveness of activities aimed at preventing the entry of prohibited items into the territory of pre-trial detention facilities in the penitentiary system, in addition to stationary metal detectors, x-ray scanners are installed at checkpoints for the inspection of personal belongings and hand Luggage. Facilities for storing personal belongings of the staff of the institution and persons who arrived to visit it are provided at the facilities of the penitentiary system in parallel with the cut-off vestibules of the checkpoint. Of course, providing institutions that execute sentences with these technical means is financially costly, given the reduction in funding for the Federal penitentiary service of Russia. However, there are no fewer cases of prohibited items being brought into the territory of pre-trial detention facilities. The penetration of prohibited items into the territory of pre-trial detention centers of the penal system usually occurs in vulnerable places (hiding under clothing, in medical prostheses, etc.). the Transfer or attempt to transfer prohibited items, products and substances is considered a completed offense at the moment when actions directly aimed at their delivery are committed, that is, they were carried into the territory of a secure facility.

Introduction: law enforcement practice and scientific research in the field of the theory of intelligence-gathering activities prove that current Russian intelligence-gathering legislation contains quite a few legal gaps and contradictions. The article provides a scientific analysis of a number of problematic issues concerning legal regulation of intelligence-gathering activities conducted in the Russian Federation, with an emphasis on the functioning of operational units of the penal system of the Russian Federation. Aim: to work out proposals to improve national intelligence-gathering legislation by reviewing intelligence-gathering legislation of CIS countries, analyzing the works of scientists on the theory of intelligence-gathering activities and regulatory framework for the work of operational units. Methods: comparative legal method, theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic, specific scientific methods: legal-dogmatic method, interpretation of legal norms. Results: the article considers the inconsistency between the purpose of intelligence-gathering activities enacted in law and both the law enforcement practice and its legally defined tasks, the absence of a number of significant tasks, as well as the grounds for conducting intelligence-gathering activities by operational units of the penal system, the lack of legal regulation of the content of intelligence-gathering activities and their procedure. To prove the existence of these shortcomings, we analyze the most common intelligence-gathering measures such as questioning and inquiries. Having studied intelligence-gathering laws of several CIS countries we found some norms regulating intelligence-gathering activities in the penitentiary system, the use of which, in our opinion, is possible in Russian context. Based on this, we make proposals to improve legal regulation of intelligence-gathering activities, in particular, by disclosing the concept of each intelligence-gathering activity in the norms of intelligence-gathering law. Conclusions: the article develops and substantiates proposals for improving Russia’s intelligence-gathering law and concludes that it is necessary to transform fundamentally the legislative regulation of intelligence-gathering activities in Russia by adopting the appropriate code. Key words: intelligence-gathering activities; intelligence-gathering measures; shortcomings; problems; intelligence-gathering law; theory of intelligence-gathering activities; intelligence-gathering code.

Introduction: the article considers problematic issues related to the work of management subjects (managers) and attestation commissions in situations when an employee of the penal system of the Russian Federation is dismissed due to the loss of trust. The aim of this study is to identify gaps in the current legislation on the service that arise when a measure of responsibility such as dismissal due to the loss of trust is applied; another aim consists in formulating proposals for improving legislation in this area. Methods: methodological basis of our study is represented by a set of methods of scientific cognition, among which the main place belongs to formal-logical, system-structural, and comparative-legal methods. Results: the study has shown that there are many problematic issues in the law enforcement practice regarding the dismissal of employees due to the loss of trust. The norms of the law do not clearly distinguish the components of corruption offenses for which an employee is subject to dismissal due to the loss of trust or may be brought to another type of liability. The issue regarding the status of the decision of the attestation commission remains unresolved; its decision is of an advisory nature, but at the same time, it is fundamental for making a decision by the employee’s superior. There is an ongoing discussion on the composition of the attestation commission; and options for the selection of independent experts are proposed. Discussion: dismissal due to the loss of trust is a specific type of disciplinary penalty, and its implementation is carried out by authorized management entities within the framework of disciplinary proceedings. The procedure for making a decision on the dismissal of employees of the penal system due to the loss of trust needs further improvement in its legal and organizational aspects, taking into account modern law enforcement and judicial practice.

Currently, when executing a sentence of imprisonment, officials of the penal system often encounter convicts who show gross disobedience, including via furor. The increase in the number of acts of violence against staff performing their official duties illustrates a situation that requires legal regulation. Penal legislation has no clear definition of the concept “furor”. It is only mentioned in Part 1 of Article 86 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation. The discrepancy between the norms of the law of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation and the law on institutions and bodies on the application of security measures to convicts in furor reduces the effectiveness of the response actions of the penal system employees. For the formation of the most complete understanding of the concept “convict’s furor”, scientific works are analyzed; A.V. Brilliantov presents the most complete concept. The etymological meaning of the term is established. The history of the formation of the term “furor” in medical encyclopedias and reference books, and in the norms of law in the period from the end of the 19th century to the present is considered. A hypothesis is made that repeated malicious disobedience may be in the form of manifesting furor. A connection between the concepts of malicious violation of the sentence serving regime and the manifestation of furor in the norms of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation is noted. Part 1 of Article 86 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation mentions malicious disobedience to legal requirements, which is similar in content to Part 1 of Article 116 of this code, in which one of the malicious violations of the sentence serving regime is “a threat, disobedience to representatives of the administration of a correctional facility and their insult in the absence of signs of a crime”. As a result, two ways of solving the problem of inconsistency of the grounds for the application of security measures in the RF Penal Code and in the law on institutions and bodies are proposed. The first way is to exclude the term “manifestation of furor” from the list of grounds for applying security measures in the RF Penal Code. The second is defining the term “manifestation of furor” in the norms of law and its consolidation as the basis for the use of physical force and special means in the law on institutions and bodies.
