The spread and reveal of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-2019) both on the territory of the Russian Federation and in the structure of penal institutions have prompted us to talk about the need to transform the means of ensuring the life of all subjects of law, and especially suspects, accused and convicted.

The introduction of restrictive measures regulated by the Government of the Russian Federation, specified by regulatory legal acts of the Federal penitentiary service of Russia and the chief state sanitary doctor of the Federal penitentiary service of Russia, provoked the need to address a number of issues that arise in the implementation of the system of measures for serving sentences in penal institutions. The above explains the relevance of research related to the study of problems and controversial provisions that determine the process of correcting convicts and preventing them from committing new crimes through the prism of implementing sanitary and anti-epidemic measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection.
