MODERN AND PRE-REVOLUTIONARY ASPECTS OF PAROLE OF CONVICTS (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF BURYATIA AND THE TRANS-BAIKAL REGION)
On the basis of a wide range of archival materials and statistical data, the historical and modern experience of the use ofparole in the Republic of Buryatia and the TRANS-Baikal territory is presented. Interest in this topic is caused by the lack of sufficiently clear criteria for its application in the criminal code. The article describes the history of regulation and application of parole in Siberia, in particular in Transbaikalia in the pre-revolutionary period, based on the analysis of official documents and personal correspondence of military governors of the Transbaikal region in the second half of the XIX-early XX centuries. The available archival and statistical data helped to show the history of the formation of the Institute of parole and highlight the topical issues of the modern definition of the criteria for correction of the convicted person and the feasibility of his parole.
