PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS AIMED AT THE DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNICAL AND FORENSIC SUPPORT OF DETENTION IN MINIMUM SECURITY INSTITUTIONS

In the current conditions of universal digitalization, further development of technical and forensic support of the detention of convicts is seen through the use of the latest information technologies, the whole complex of which will make it possible to implement the concept of “smart” facilities of the penal system as a result. The article formulates practical recommendations that fit into the general concept of creating a “smart” minimum security institution. Also presented are the results of a survey conducted by the author among the employees of the penal system, probation service, police department, prosecutor's office, anti-corruption service and economic investigation service on the topic of technical support for the detention of convicts in penal institutions, which confirmed, in general, the general readiness for technical legislative and technical changes in the work of correctional institutions. Undoubtedly, all this will require large financial outlays and thorough legislative elaboration, but this is why further study and scientific substantiation of the feasibility of taking certain decisions, taking into account all potential benefits and possible risks, is required.
