Some problematic issues of legal regulation of imprisonment execution concerning the convicts left in pre-trial detention centers for internal (housekeeping) duties
This article analyzes some organizational and legal issues related to the legal regulation of execution and serving of imprisonment by convicts left in pre-trial detention centers for internal (housekeeping) duties. In the hierarchical structure of the regulation of this penal law institution there are legal acts of three levels: the Convention, the level of national laws and normative legal acts. Thus there is a certain conflict between material norms of articles 56 and 58 of the Criminal code of the Russian Federation which are primary, and norms of Penal legislation (part 9 of article 16, part 1 of article 74 and part 1 of article 77 of the Criminal code of the Russian Federation) regarding places for serving of imprisonment. Convicts, left in pre-trial detention centers for internal duties, serve their sentences in specific conditions. They are subject to the full range of normative legal acts regulating certain issues related to the execution of criminal punishment in the form of imprisonment. At the same time, these acts do not actually say anything about the peculiarities of the execution of deprivation of liberty in remand centers in respect of convicted persons for housekeeping duties. On the basis of the analysis, the author proposes a number of changes in the current penal enforcement legislation in the field of execution and serving of imprisonment by convicts left in pre-trial detention centers for internal duties.
