Features of the Control by the Criminal Enforcement Inspections Over the Observance of the Prohibition by Suspects and Accused Persons to Send and Receive Postal and Telegraphic Items

Taking into account the analysis of the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation and other regulatory legal acts, as well as law enforcement activities, the article identifies a number of problems in the field of control by employees of criminal inspections over compliance with the prohibition by suspects (accused) to send and receive postal and telegraphic items. In order to increase the effectiveness of such control, the need is justified to supplement the Penal Code of the Russian Federation with Article 18.2 with the expansion of the tasks of operational investigative activities in the penal system (for example, assistance in organizing control over prohibitions against suspects, accused with preventive measures in the form of house arrest, prohibition of certain actions and bail) and appropriate grounds for conducting operational investigative measures (in particular, the presence of a resolution on the election of preventive measures in the form of detention, house arrest, prohibition of certain actions and bail).
