Abstract
One of the oldest and largest systems of execution of punishment is located in the Republic of Mordovia. In the article, quantitative indicators of crime in places of deprivation of liberty are studied on the example of the Republic of Mordovia. On the basis of historical, comparative-legal formal-logical, historical, sociological methods and the method of criminal statistics, a study of the state and structure of penitentiary crime in the Republic of Mordovia for the period from 1997 to June 2021. This makes it possible to trace the patterns of changes in its quantitative and qualitative indicators, as well as to identify trends. Analysis of criminal statistics on this type of criminality showed that up to 2004, in correctional institutions located in the Republic of Mordovia, the main crimes committed were illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. Since 2004, the above crimes have been predominated by those associated with disorganisation of institutions ensuring isolation from society. Traditional for places of detention crime falling within the scope of article 313 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation demonstrates a downward trend through-out the observed period, which is explained, inter alia, by the decrease in the number of convicts serving sentences in custody.
