Features of the Application of the Institution of Parole From Serving a Sentence

Among those sentenced to imprisonment, those convicted of crimes of moderate severity and serious crimes predominate. At the same time, those who are convicted of committing crimes of moderate severity have a huge potential for correction in conditions unrelated to actual imprisonment, which makes it possible to apply the institution of parole to such a category more widely. The imposed punishment should not always remain unchanged and the positive behavior of persons sentenced to imprisonment should be encouraged by early release from serving their sentence with the imposition of certain conditions conducive to further correction of the person. The article identifies the features of the application of the institution of parole from serving a sentence, analyzes the criteria (formal and material) for the application of this type of release, and identifies problems that arise in practice.
