ABSTRACT
The article is devoted to the issues of classification of persons sentenced to imprisonment. Attention is drawn to the fact that the achievement of criminal responsibility goals largely depends on a clear division of convicts, depending on the criteria established by law, into homogeneous groups with subsequent differentiation and individualization of correctional and educational impact. As a result of the research, the author came to the following conclusions. In order to efficiently and effectively organize the process of correctional influence on convicts, it is rational to divide them into such categories, in relation to which the main means of correction provided for by law (established procedure for execution and serving of sentences, socially useful work, educational work, education of convicted persons, and social impact) could be applied in different volumes and with different degrees of intensity in order to ensure the achievement of the goals of punishment. Thus, differentiated application of correctional measures to convicts is possible only if they are correctly divided into homogeneous groups. Classification of persons sentenced to deprivation of liberty is of great practical importance for organizing the process of their correction and achieving criminal responsibility goals. It provides isolation from each other of various categories of convicts, thereby preventing the possibility of negative influence of more dangerous criminals on less dangerous criminals, and suggests the possibility of strengthening security and supervision, as well as the correctional and educational impact of punishment against dangerous criminals, while reducing the legal restrictions for convicts who do not pose a great public danger.
