THE FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC CONTROL OVER THE PENITENTIARY SYSTEM IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE (XIX — BEGINNING OF XX CENTURIES)
Abstract
The article considers the activities of voluntary and public organizations and associations of the Russian Empire aimed at assisting and monitoring the activities of prisons. Based on various historical materials the authors examined their impact on the improvement of legal, housing, health conditions of those imprisoned in Russia in XIX — early XX centuries.
It is proved that the experience of cooperation between community groups and the staff of the penitentiary institutions of autocratic Russia in order to improve the activity of the latter is useful and can be required to reform the current penal correction system. However, the influence of community groups on the activities of the penal correction system is limited and should not replace the powers of government institutions.
Key words
Prison fascilities, public control over prisons, board of trustee over prisons, history of Russia in XIX — early XX centuries, correction system.
