Abstract

The article draws attention to the problems that can be a significant obstacle to the successful development of the process of improving the penitentiary system. At present, improving the efficiency of the execution of sentences is closely linked to the practice of applying punishments and alternative measures to deprivation of liberty. A significant increase in the tasks facing penal enforcement inspections, which has been observed over the past two decades, is inevitably accompanied by fluctuations in the number of controlled persons. In order to preserve and develop the efficiency of the execution of sentences, it is of fundamental importance that the tasks set are consistent with the level of material and technical equipment, as well as the availability of highly professional personnel in the relevant institutions. Identification of compliance of the specified level with the set tasks is an extremely important goal of future research. In this publication, based on the use of statistical data from the central database of the Federal Penitentiary Service, a detailed analysis of changes in the number of persons under the control of criminal executive inspections from 2017 to 2023 is carried out. The study is accompanied by a comparison of the information obtained with the revealed fluctuations in the number of people sentenced to serve a prison sentence for the same period of time. We believe that the presented analysis can help in planning the future provision of penitentiary inspections with the resources necessary for the successful and effective implementation of their tasks.
