Property Rights and Responsibility of Persons in Detention and Convicts Serving Criminal Penalities

Abstract

The article deals with the property rights and liability of persons held in custody and convicted serving a sentence of deprivation of liberty. In places of isolation from society, a citizen is not deprived of the right to own property belonging to him, but is limited in the powers of the owner. Thus, the possibility of physical domination and extraction of useful properties over a certain category of things is lost. Upon admission to a correctional institution and a pre-trial detention center of the penitentiary system, things belonging to citizens of the Russian Federation and foreign citizens are transferred for storage in accordance with the internal regulations. In this connection, this type of legal relationship is subject to the provisions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), which regulate the storage of things by law. The main problems of storing things belonging to convicts are analyzed, as well as the storage of deposit and credit bank cards in the safe of the cash desk of correctional institutions and pre-trial detention centers of the penitentiary system is updated. Proposals are made to improve the penitentiary legislation related to their storage. The necessity of bringing the above-mentioned special subjects to liability is substantiated, as a result of causing material damage to the property of institutions of the penitentiary system as a result of their illegal actions.
