Improving the Effectiveness of the Execution of Criminal Penalties: Expanding the Scope of Information Technology

The article formulates a number of directions for improving the effectiveness of the execution of criminal penalties, taking into account the expansion of the scope of information technology. Among other things, it is proposed to develop a point system for assessing the degree of correction of a convicted person; to carry out biometric photographing, genomic registration and other methods of collecting personal data of convicts serving not only imprisonment, but also other punishments, with their placement in a single information system; to make a decision on parole using artificial intelligence by calculating the number of points; to create an information system containing comprehensive information about the convict and his behavior, as well as to keep the convict's personal file in electronic form; computer modeling of convicts' behavior; in order to establish the objectivity and comprehensive verification of the convict's testimony, use polygraph and technology to recognize facial expressions and (or) his body movements; chip convicts for comprehensive monitoring of their behavior, including those released on parole in the post-penitentiary period.
