THE ATTITUDE OF THE PERSONNEL OF THE CORRECTIONAL COLONIES TO THE CONVICTED AT THE MODERN STAGE
In the modern world, there is no consensus on how an ideal system to execution sentences should function. In a number of countries, the concept of punitiveness is in effect, that is, toughening criminal law and the regime forkeeping convicts (for example, Russia, the United States). In other countries, a focus is placed on the active process of reeducation and re-socialization of convicts, on a large role of social workers, psychologists, family members of the convict, the public and non-profit organizations (Norway, Finland). In either approach to the organization of the national penitentiary system, staff of a correctional institution play an important role in it, carrying out daily interaction with convicts, influencing their social well-being, countering the negative influence of the prison community and organizing their daily life. The ability of prisoners to return to normal life after serving their sentence largely depends on the level and quality of training of personnel at correctional prisons, on the degree of the staff’s awareness of both their daily tasks and tasks of the entire penitentiary system, their professional attitude towards convicts. There are many problems in the domestic penal system that need to be addressed. Data from surveys conducted in prisons can help in this.
