PRIVATE PRISON. WHETHER IT IS NECESSARY IN RUSSIA?
PRIVATE PRISON. WHETHER IT IS NECESSARY IN RUSSIA?
In SIZO, prisons, corrective and educational colonies
Russia person contains 1,02 million. Among them more than 2,3
Thousand sick of AIDS, over 90 thousand tuberkuleznikov.
After the introduction of Russia into the Council of Europe ours
The criminally-executive system became more open for
Public control. Emissaries SE have become constant visitor in the Russian
penitentsiarnye establishments to "probe" process
Our reforming of "a prison economy". And if a situation in
Our corrective colonies foreign "controllers" estimate,
Frequently as, satisfactory, an event in prisons and
SIZO, them shocks. And differently also cannot be: perepolnennost chambers
Over any norms, prompt growth of number of a HIV-infected,
Sick of a tuberculosis, different infectious diseases. All
It is plus beggarly budgetary financing of insulators and prisons
Forces foreign observers to do rigid and, alas,
Fair conclusion:
Conditions of the maintenance of prisoners - it is similar to tortures.
Where an exit from humiliating position for Russia? In
Building of new prisons and SIZO? The next years it is unreal
- There is no money.
To stop to detain for small, socially harmless
Crimes? For a long time it is time, but also such measure hardly will solve a problem
perepolnennosti as two thirds present sideltsev stay
There on charge in grave crimes or already condemned for
Those.
To increase number of amnesties? Too it is possible. But, first, the frequent
Amnesties devalvirujut their humane essence. Secondly, 90-100
Thousand amnestied from more than one million condemned and
Women under investigation will be not not solved considerably by problems. It turns out
The bewitched prison circle.
As it to break off, if the state in the name of Ministry of Justice,
Recognised:
To contain million spetskontingent to it it is too expensive?
Last years all declare itself, referring on more persistently
Experience of some countries, supporters of idea of creation in Russia the private
Prisons. Idea completely not indisputable, especially in the Russian conditions.
Moreover, to discuss it in the country so far from
Social and economic well-being, at first sight even
Absurdly. And still attempt to create such prison in Russia was
It is undertaken. While, the truth, unsuccessfully.
The inhabitant of the Altay Slavgorod Alexander Eger, year
Stayed in SIZO, has developed the project of private prison on base
Local garment factory. He suggested to convert its building
Under comfortable chambers, promised a full employment of the condemned
Job, and the state - the considerable income of it.
However these arguments have not convinced officials of Ministry of Justice, and Egeru was
It is given up in its invention. The official answer was easily expected:
Transfer condemned in a jail such
The legislation does not provide.
So, can reconsider some rules of law, not
Corresponding to a today's situation with criminality in Russia?
Edition has spent the express interrogation on a subject "Private prison:
Whether it is possible in Russia? ". Here what answers were:
Arcady Viner, the writer:
- Being the lawyer and by training and once on an occupation,
I of such ridiculous design as "private prison", to present not
I can. First, it is illegal. Secondly, disperses with
Civilised idea of punishment: its execution is appointed
The state, and it will be subcontracted private persons? Absurdity.
Certainly, we have far come into areas of the contradiction to a legal field,
But, I hope, not so.
The "private" prison in my understanding is kriminal. If
Remember, during Soviet times in Uzbekistan there was a case, when
The glorified collective-farm head has organised the underground
Prison where threw "guilty" which itself took out
Sentences. Now, speak, in the Chechen Republic gangsters build houses, in
Which project "prison" elements are provided - that was where
To hold the grasped hostages - in expectation of the repayment or using
As slaves.
In ours with the brother the novel "the Gospel from the executioner" one is described
Such "private" prison where the hero-emgebeshnika bring for
Acquaintance, well and to brag to the visitor... But me and in
Head did not come, that it is possible to discuss occurrence seriously
Similar legal institutions. Unless in the sense that
Any private persons will want to help the state money on
The maintenance of prisons... It please.
Anatoly Lukjanov, the chairman of Committee on the legislation and
It is judicial - to legal reform of the State Duma of the Russian Federation:
- We can have only the prisons resolved by the law. But if
The country people, in which hands the present will correct still
Executive power, and they will be helped by trade unions and the press,
Switching on and such newspaper, as yours in Russia it is obligatory
There will be private prisons.
Alexander Mihlin, the doctor of jurisprudence, the professor, main
Scientific employee VNII the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia:
- Basically occurrence of private prisons in Russia is not excluded.
All depends what to understand as private prisons. The first
The requirement to such establishments: strict observance
The current legislation and the rigid state control over it.
The second: the state without fail should provide them
State orders, and all being in private prison - job.
Only in this case they can do without the budgetary
Financings. The third: employees of such prisons should
To be guided only by the law and to be independent of the owner
Prisons. The fourth: the rights condemned in private and state
Prisons should be identical and be regulated by the law.
To direct there criminals - in accordance with general practice. That is
The owner of prison should not form a contingent independently
The establishment.
Sergey Zaharov, the popular singer, member Petersburg "Fund
The help to prisoners ":
- Not less often than two times a year I in a fund direction act with
Concerts in prisons. Alas, the state prisons to correction of times
Stumbled promote a little. Private - yes, here could,
It seems to be additional possibilities. In my opinion, just
Behind them - the future.
Why? Any businessman - and private prison too some kind of
Business! - not begins to work to the detriment of itself. Therefore will try,
That its "enterprise" completely corresponded to all
To requirements and norms of the law. That is will create concluded the such
Conditions that they could not only comprehend happened, but also
To improve the education, to receive a trade, normally
To work. Prisons for teenagers and women in our country
Necessarily should become private. And only condemned on
It is expedient to "heavy" articles to contain in the state
Correctional facilities.
Nikolay SHILOV, the deputy the chief of the Vladimir prison:
- In my opinion, has not come to consider time seriously yet
This question in our country. If today in Russia will appear
Private prisons underworld "cream" become their clients.
And accomplices - from the same will pay for their maintenance
The means stolen at the state. A family of the usual
Concluded to pay for its maintenance in private prison not
Can. Here also it will turn out: the most malicious criminals for the big
Stolen money will serve time almost as on a resort, and
The least at fault will appear in terrible conditions
The state prison.
Unless it is fair?
Today where is more correct to all interested departments
By common efforts to solve a problem of support of colonies and prisons. It is necessary
To adjust manufacture, to improve a food and medical aid.
Nikolay F, domushnik, four hodki:
- Strange, I will tell to you, a question - whether are necessary in Russia private
Prisons? Certainly, are necessary. That who has avoided in the life of a fate
To stay at least year in a skin "spetskontingenta", difficultly even
To imagine conditions in which it is necessary "to pull term"
The prisoner. Business not only in the overflowed chambers and liquid
balande. My wide experience of dialogue with "chiefs" confirms:
For the person in shape all of us on one person. Birochka on zekovskoj
To jacket - that's all, that distinguishes Ivanov, say, from Petrov.
The only thing that raises the doubts in correctness
Such way to reforming of criminally-executive system, -
These are the Russian usages. Appear the owner of such prison - and hundreds
Officials will try to receive from it the share. And it, of course,
To survive, will establish a payment for the "hotel with lattices",
Which will be on a pocket only to very rich bosses criminal
The world.
