Abstract

This paper is focused on social effectiveness of open penal systems of the insular type in a broad sense, which implies the achievement not only of legal, but also economic and political goals. Two historical penal systems of the 18th and 19th centuries are compared — those of Australia and Sakhalin. The paper uses the method of PEST‑analysis complemented by SWOT‑analysis. The authors make the conclusion that insular penal systems associated with the development of new territories can only be socially effective when they create the necessary stimuli for convicts both to get there and stay in the same region after release. This finding can be applied to improve penal systems as well as to develop the uninhabited territories of various countries, including Russia
