SOME ASPECTS OF THE EXECUTION OF CRIMINAL PENALTIES IN EXTREME CONDITIONS IN FRANCE AND SPAIN
In accordance with article number 85 of the Criminal Executive code of the Rus- sian Federation, a the mode of special conditions may be introduced in a correctional insti- tution in cases of a natural disaster, the introduction of a state of emergency or martial law in the area of the correctional institution, in case of mass riots, as well as group disobedience ofconvicts. However, the provisions of this rule of the Russian law are vague, insufficiently taking into account the peculiarities of the various bases for the introduction of the regime of special conditions and require further legislative specification of the legal status of both convicts and employees of the Penal system. The legislation of France and Spain in the field of regulation of criminal executive relations during the period of special regimes has a number of features. In these states there is no single act regulating the actions of the prison administration and the restrictions imposed on persons held in them. There are additional powers of the prison admin- istration (immediate transfer of convicts to other institutions, the use of special technical control measures, etc.). The interesting thing is the establishment of control over the vacant convicted of a separate offence and suspension issues for early parole. This experience may be taken into account in the improvement of the domestic criminal enforcement legislation.
