Safety in places of detention
Annotation. In article are
analyses definitions of the concept "safety" and approaches to its
providing and considered the safety problem in places of detention. Also are
studied security measures of employees, citizens and convicts. The logical
sequence of categories (formula) allowing to formulate a concept is presented
“safety of penal correction system”.
Keywords: safety, crime, correctional
facility, penal correction system.
In the last
decade the penal correction system endures deep crisis, stagnation, crash still
of the existing Soviet model of execution of punishments. Today, considering
rise in crime, danger of terrorist, extremist, separatist and other threats,
armed conflicts by the state is not undertaken adequate measures for fight
against these manifestations.
State machinery
cannot ensure full-fledged safety to each her citizen from any of possible
threats. In
this case in penal correction systems institutions.
Safety in penal
correction systems institutions is assigned to personnel of establishment. In a
due measure safety of employees, citizens and convicts not to be made.
Inviolability of these categories of citizens from criminal encroachments is
provided only with the law.
Proceeding from
the aforesaid, it would be desirable to add what in present conditions, namely
in the conditions of implementation of provisions of the Concept of development
of penal correction system and in the conditions of reduction of the number of staff
of divisions of penal correction system is not attached to significance of the
fact that safety has to be provided not only the legislative base, and quite
real power base. At this stage of development of penal correction system, the
government in the person of the president considered that penal correction
system has rather large number and can cope with objectives more smaller
number.
This measure
would be adequate if the number of the employees involved directly for
implementation of supervision and protection for convicts is valid, was really
overestimated. And in reality we have a large number of divisions of providing,
and we also have a huge number of the certified staff of auxiliary divisions.
In the progressive countries of the West where eyes of a government cohort are
turned, the certified personnel are available in a small amount and are
involved in direct control of convicts, support functions are assigned to civil
personnel.
Without departing
from an essence of told, it would be desirable to explain as all this is
connected with safety in penal correction system. Laying off number of
employees, the state has to expand their rights and create conditions that the
employee in this case of department of safety was unique unit capable independently
to solve the tasks set for it, based on the resources which are available for
it, in addition, the state has to provide to the employee the worthy existence
which is expressed in the solution of its social problems as now employees
being at work often more think of the solution of the social problems which
rather strongly influence working mood.
Also the state
has to think over a question on fight against a corruption component which
literally through penetrates today everything in our country. Often the heads
of divisions entering not office communications with representatives of
criminal circles do not allow to carry out fully daily tasks the subordinate
and by that weaken detention regime in institutions, let know the convict that
the administration of correctional facility is completely deprived of civil
rights and does not represent threat and it is possible to ignore legal
requirements and not to fulfill the established duties.
The employee has to have under himself
powerful arguments of the belonging to the power as the representative of law
enforcement agency. Today all arms of the security department specialist to
come down to presence at it: sticks rubber, barrel of tear gas, bracelets
steel, radio stations. And now present a duty shift of corrective labor colony
in number of 8-12 people on 1600 convicts. Whether corresponds power a
component to such ratio of number of convicts and employees. Naturally not.
Also add to all this remoteness of objects from each other, the extent of
perimeter and the area of institution and the most important that all mass of
convicts is not divided on cameras and to be at 10-13 premises. Proceeding from
it it is possible to declare safely that the duty shift is suicide bombers as
it is never necessary to forget that to contain in establishment not children
of preschool age, and the condemned committed serious crimes and especially
heavy.
Adequate measures
for safety will be:
1. Increase in number of personnel of supervision in correctional
facilities;
2. Construction of prisons with a modern security system and separate
accommodation of convicts on cameras (in this case it is better to rely on
experience of the USA);
3. Revision of arms of staff of departments of safety (it is also necessary
to look at the USA);
4. Better training of personnel of supervision in particular improvement of
selection of the candidates for service who surely had training in military
units of the army connections having the corresponding health, psychological
preparation.
5. To resolve issues with corruption, it is impossible to fight crime when
it bribes your fighters;
6. Decision social question of employees. In this case it is necessary to
make so that the employee in the head held a thought that it is necessary to
work at work.
Problem of safety
of a penal correction system – one of the most important components of the
criminal and executive theory and practice. With the accounting of its diverse
internal and external relations it has to lie in to basis of the reform which
is carried out in the Republic of Kazakhstan criminal executive system.
Safety of a penal
correction system, unfortunately, has no adequate standard and legal fixing. In
the law are available only instructions on need of safety of personnel,
convicts and other citizens. Therefore in the theory of the criminal and
executive right it is fairly specified an insufficient readiness of this
problem.
Summing up the
result, one may say, that safety is objective condition of security of the
vital rights and legitimate interests persons from criminal encroachments or
threat of such encroachments, penitentiary generated by specific criminogenic
factors institutions.
