CONTRIBUTION OF DOMESTIC CRIMINAL EXECUTIVE PRACTICE TO INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF PENITENTIAL SYSTEMS OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES
Issues of the interaction of the domestic penitentiary system with foreign penitentiary systems are often considered in terms of the impact of international standards and international best practices on Russian law and practice. However, international cooperation of Russia in the enforcement of criminal sentences dates back to the 19th century. The article is devoted to the historical aspects of the influence of domestic penal enforcement practice and legislation on international standards for the treatment of convicts, and foreign penitentiary systems. Three main periods of such influence are highlighted: preSoviet (international prison congresses and international acts of the end of the 19th century), Soviet (penal systems of foreign socialist states) and post-Soviet (legislation of the CIS countries and international acts of the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries).In this regard, attention is drawn to a number of specific provisions of the European Prison (Prison) Rules (2006) and the International Standard Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (Nelson Mandela Rules) 2015.
