Abstract

Religious organizations play a significant role in organizing and ensuring the rights and legitimate interests of persons held in correctional institutions. Each territorial body of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia has introduced a full-time position of assistant to the head of the department for work with believers. Taking into account the relatively recently adopted updated Internal Regulations by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation, the practical activities of religious organizations cause some difficulties, since certain aspects of this work are not formally regulated by law, or rather, require determining the degree of priority of the tasks facing the penal system. Of course, spiritual care influences moral law-abiding behavior, but at the same time there is another significant area of activity in which the work of religious organizations would seem very effective. We are talking about the possibilities of developing and forming a positive legal consciousness among convicted believers, based on the principles of implementing religious rights and freedoms. The article states the need to rethink the procedure for interaction with religious organizations. The religious and educational work carried out today satisfies the interests of the penal system of the Russian Federation only in terms of ensuring the religious rights and freedoms of convicts. It seems appropriate to expand religious and educational work and, in order to increase its effectiveness, it is necessary to develop a concept aimed at forming a positive legal consciousness in believing convicts. This work should be carried out not only on the principles of ensuring legal rights, but also stimulate proper legal perception, law-abiding behavior and the ability to adequately understand social norms and rules.
