Concept and Legal Nature of Changes in the Type of Correctional Facilities in the Mechanism of Imprisonment Execution

The subject of scientific research is the legal institution of the changes in the type of the correctional facility. The paper gives a comprehensive analysis of modern penal law scientists' views on the investigated problem. According to the majority of them, the changes in the type of the correctional facility is the core of a progressive system of serving the sentence, as one of its elements. Nevertheless, the legal regulation of the changes in the type of correctional facilities possesses a number of problematic issues. Among them are: no legally binding concepts; imperfect procedural changes in the type of the correctional institution; establishing criteria for transfer from one type of correctional facility to another one, which do not make it possible to adequately estimate the degree of positive behavior of a convicted person, and so on. In the preparation and writing of the paper the following methods were used: synthesis, analysis, dialectical, comparative legal, formal-legal and others. Based on the research the paper provides the author's concept of the changes in the type of the correctional facility. The author also proposes some changes in the penal legislation aimed at improving the institution of the changes in the type of the correctional facility. A criterion for transition of a positively characterized convicted person from one type of correctional facility to another on is suggested.
