TWO STRATEGIES FOR RESOCIALIZATION IN THE MEGALOPOLIS OF REPRESENTATIVES OF MUSLIM CULTURE RELEASED FROM PRISON
The scientific article discusses the issues of justification of strategies for resocialization of representatives of Muslim culture as one of the components of the mechanism for reducing social tension in the modern urbanized community. It is shown that one of the factors of the growth of such tension is the presence in society of a significant number of maladapted persons who are not in harmony with the normal conditions of life of society, the number of which increases due to persons who move to large cities and megalopolises after release from prison. The concept, characteristics, basic principles of the process of resocialization, features of the metropolis as a medium of resocialization are studied. It is emphasized that penitentiary institutions are not the only, but stable suppliers to the society of «non-fitting» citizens. It is noted that modern urbanized society does not have effective mechanisms to resist the action of such a factor of social tension as an increase in the number of maladapted or insufficiently adapted to life in people. The main terms related to the study of this issue are revealed: socialization, resocialization, resocialization environment. The list of factors of influence of the urbanized environment on efficiency of re-socialization of former prisoners is given. It is shown that among the representatives of peoples whose culture is based on Islamic traditions living in large Russian cities, there are three groups that differ significantly in relation to the processes of resocialization: visitors who are focused on temporary stay in the host territory, visitors who seek to integrate into the local community, «local» Muslims or representatives of Muslim culture who were born and grew up in the multicultural environment of large cities and megalopolises. It is proposed in the development of programs for reintegration of inmates' sentences representatives of Muslim culture in relation to the bigger towns and cities take into account the peculiarities and the existence of two categories of Muslims: those for the success of re-socialization which is important to take into account their cultural background, and those for the success of re-socialization which is an important type of situation in which it is made.
