CORRECTIONAL WORK AS A TYPE OF CRIMINAL PUNISHMENT

Abstract

Federal Law No. 218-FZ of July 23, 2025 amended the procedure for assigning correctional labor as a type of criminal punishment. The article discusses some issues related to these changes, for example, the issues of sentencing a person who has a primary place of work with part-time employment, the issues of the procedure for calculating the terms of correctional labor, which were not lifted by the order of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation dated January 19, 2026 No. 6, which establishes the procedure for organizing the execution of correctional labor. In ad-dition, the factors influencing the effectiveness of correctional labor as a type of criminal pun-ishment are analyzed: the provision of leave during the period of serving the sentence and its terms, the procedure for deductions from the convicted person's salary. The debatable issues of the need to change the employment contract with a person serving a sentence in the form of correctional labor, the possibility of providing him with the remaining part of the vacation after serving his sentence, etc. are considered.
