Combating Illicit Drug Trafficking in Places of Detention
The article is devoted to combating drug trafficking in places of detention, including infliction of punishment for drug trafficking crimes committed in correction facilities. It is noted that Article 2281 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation allows differentiation by the courts of the responsibility for illicit sale of drugs, including consideration of a crime scene for infliction of more severe punishment. To improve the effectiveness of detection of drug-related crimes, it is proposed to legally regulate body cavity search and introduce alternative ways of search using electronic scanning devices.
