Abstract

The article presents a criminological analysis of crime in places of deprivation of liberty on the example of one of the regions of the Russian Federation, on the territory of which Dubravlag is located, one of the oldest systems of execution of punishments associated with the isolation of convicts from society. The interest in the topic is due to the identification of links and patterns of penitentiary crime with the state of crime in the country, trends in penal policy. In accordance with the Concept of the development of the penal system of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030, approved by By Order of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1138-r dated 04/29/2021, the main directions of improvement and development of the penal enforcement system include conducting scientific research on the effectiveness of the execution of certain types of criminal penalties, which can be carried out on the basis of an in-depth study of quantitative and qualitative indicators of penitentiary crime. The article examines the content of the category "crime in places of deprivation of liberty", by which the authors understand the totality of crimes committed by convicts serving sentences in the form of imprisonment for a certain term or life imprisonment, as well as other subjects of penal relations. Researchers come to the conclusion that crime in places of deprivation of liberty is associated with the criminal legal status of the person committing the crime, the time of the crime, often with the place of the crime.
