On the Issue of the Need to Improve Control and Supervisory Activities Over the Implementation of Legislation by Bodies and Institutions of the Penal Enforcement System
( Pp. 321-325)

Abstract: The unstable socio-political situation in the country and the world calls for paying special attention to ensuring the rights of the most vulnerable categories of citizens, which include convicts. Ensuring the rule of law in the bodies and institutions of the penitentiary system is a determining criterion for the effectiveness of their functioning. The most effective way to ensure the rule of law in the penitentiary should be recognized as control and supervision, which in the penitentiary sphere is most widely represented by such types as public control and prosecutorial supervision.
In recent years, more and more attention has been paid by the state to the issues of improving control and supervision activities in various spheres of life. This article discusses some of the problematic aspects of the implementation of control and supervision in the penitentiary system, and also identifies areas for improving these activities.
In order to ensure the rights of convicts and the enforcement of legislation by penitentiary institutions, the author substantiates the expediency of securing the possibility of exercising public control using remote technologies. It is noted that the preventive function should prevail in the control and supervisory activities, which to the greatest extent will guarantee the legality of the activities of all subjects of the penitentiary system.
