Problems of the application of parole in relation to those sentenced to deprivation of liberty in the presence of disciplinary sanctions
When considering a petition for parole in relation to a convicted person, the courts take into account, among other things, information about extinguished disciplinary sanctions. I believe that this approach contradicts the principle of the fairness of criminal punishment, and also leads to a violation of the constitutional right of the convicted person to the possibility of mitigating punishment. The legal norms governing these legal relations have significant contradictions, which, in my opinion, allows the courts to arbitrarily approach the resolution of the issue of parole. In my opinion, extinguished disciplinary actions should not count towards a parole application. I also propose to differentiate the terms of repayment of disciplinary sanctions applied to convicts held in correctional institutions, depending on the severity of the violation committed. The article suggests ways to improve legislation in this area.
