Abstract

In the modern period of development of administrative mechanisms in the penitentiary system, a special place is occupied by the nature and role of the public presence, the institution of public control, which is the subject of this article. Revealing the topic through the significance and strategic necessity of social influence on the legal, organizational, managerial, informational and ideological parameters of the penal mechanism, the authors proclaim the purpose of the study in the form of substantiating the optimal model of the institution of public control in the penitentiary system. In the methodological aspect, the material is supported by the authentic views of researchers on the nature and main models of civil society participation in the control of the penitentiary system. It is shown that the proper functioning and effectiveness of public control in the area under consideration depends on the level of mutual coordination of the system of legal means, forms, procedures for the activities of public observers, experts, observation groups and commissions. The conclusion states that the redemption of convicts can be achieved only in the conditions of real presence of public structures in given area of government administration, broad implementation of the aspirations and recommendations of specialized monitoring commissions. The author notes the features and prospects for the development of the most optimal model of public control in the penitentiary system with active interaction between society and the state. The proposed partnership model is a promising and practice-oriented direction for the development of the modern penitentiary system in Russia. Among the various models of public control in the penitentiary system, precisely the partnership one can serve as the basis for the development and implementation of a legal policy of public influence on the sphere of execution of criminal sentences. A number of novels are proposed, as conclusions, among which is the creation of a central union (association) of public structures exercising public control in the penitentiary sphere. The need to develop a legal standard that fixes the main attributes and technology of informing all interested parties about the activities of public oversight commissions is substantiated
