TO THE QUESTION ABOUT IMPLEMENTATION OF NORMS, RESTRAINED BY UPDATED EUROPEAN PRISON RULES, IN THE RUSSIAN LEGISLATION

In the submitted article delivered the task to research the possibility and expediency of implementing of a number of provisions of updated European Prison Rules (EPP) in the national system of law of Russia. Applying the method of comparative analysis of norms, enshrined by EPR, the UN Minimum Standard Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners and the current legislation of the Russian Federation, the author came to the logical conclusion, that these norms are difficult to compatible with each other. Consequently, the relevant provisions of the EPP are possible, but not appropriate to implement in the domestic penal legislation. In addition, on the basis of a clear instruction of legislator (part 4 of article 3 of the PC RF), recommendations (declarations) of international organizations on the problems of the execution of sentences and the treatment of convicts are implemented in the penal legislation and practice of the Russian Federation in the presence of the necessary economic and social opportunities, which are currently not available.
