СONDITIONAL AND EARLY RELEASE FROM SERVING OF THE ADDITIONAL PUNISHMENT OF PROBATION SUBJECTS: LEGISLATIVE AND PRACTICAL PROBLEMS

 

It is researched and analyzed in the article the legislative regulation and the practical application of the institution of conditional and early release from serving additional punishment of probation subjects, in particular, availability of the probation authorized agencies of the right to apply to the court with a petition for its application. Basing on the study of judicial practice, the practice of the controversial decisions of this issue in different regions was discovered, which negatively affects to the established practice and does not allow ensuring an unified approach of the implementation of additional types of punishment. The issue of the moment of consideration of materials, subjects of treatment and a list of grounds for the use of conditional and early release from serving additional punishment of probation subjects is still unresolved. It is noted on the basis of the analysis of the legal and social nature of this institute, it is noted that mentioned institute reflects the principle of humanism itself under Criminal and Criminal-Executive law. Throughout the time of its existence the release is considered to be viable and effective, since the state is interested in the fact that the offenders are more likely to percept their guilt to correct and return to society. The practice of penitentiary institutions proves that the objective of punishment in relation to a certain part of the convicted person is reached before the expiration of the time of the sentence imposed by the court, that is, ahead of schedule. The author stresses that given the humane significance of the institution of parole, it is fully justified to extend its application to convicts, including in the case of additional punishment. Accordingly, it is argued that the authorized probation bodies, as bodies of enforcement of criminal penalties, have the right, in accordance with the requirements of the Criminal and the Criminal-Executive Code of Ukraine, to apply to the court with a petition for the early release from serving additional punishment of probation subjects.

Key words: conditional and early release, probation subject, probation authorized agencies, main punishment, additional punishment.
