A Study on the Improvement of Correctional Facilities in Foreign Countries

The paper discusses the preventive measures carried out in the penitentiary institutions of foreign countries, preventing the penetration and spread of coronavirus infection. Persons serving sentences in places of detention are at increased risk of infection in the event of an outbreak of the disease. Their situation requires separate consideration in planning and responding to crises. Measures to ensure social distancing are implemented through a special legal regime, the introduction of which limits the subjective rights of convicts. The introduced legal restrictions in some states provoked the emergence of criminal emergencies, which required the optimization of criminal and penal legal relations. Due to the emergency in the healthcare sector, it seems possible to use such institutions of criminal law as release from serving a sentence, deferment from serving a sentence, replacing the unserved part of a sentence with a milder type of punishment as an exceptional measure, and developing alternative ways to maintain socially useful ties. These methods include: increasing the duration of calls in correctional facilities, conducting visits through video conferencing, organizing a prompt exchange of information on the health status of relatives and convicts using a hotline, and using secure mobile devices.

В настоящее время набирает популярность использование на территории организаций, аэропортов и в других сферах, в том числе в исправительных учреждениях Российской Федерации (далее - ИУ РФ) и зарубежных стран двухмерного штрих-кода для передачи информации. Безусловно, применение данного штрих-кода в биометрической идентификации личности имеет огромное преимущество перед осуществлением аналогичной деятельности непосредственно сотрудниками уголовно-исполнительной системы Российской Федерации (далее - УИС), которое выражается в усиленном контроле пропуска и безопасности сотрудников и осужденных от несанкционированного прохода посторонних лиц. Биометрическая идентификация личности производится путем сканирования сетчатки глаза, отпечатков пальцев, сканирования биометрии лица, измерения температуры тела и распознавания голоса. Однако даже такая современная система имеет определенные недостатки, выявленные специалистами в сфере инженерно-технического обеспечения, которым посвящен ряд научных работ, рассмотренных в данной статье. Также авторами проанализированы основные разновидности 2D-кодов, такие как Stackedlinear и Matrixcode. Отмечается, что 2D-кодировка применяется во многих отраслях: при производстве, транспортировке грузов, идентификации личности, шифровки данных документов и отчетов, проведении инвентаризации. Nowadays using a two-dimensional barcode for transmitting information becomes more popular in the territory of organizations, airports, and in other spheres such as correctional facilities of the Russian Federation (hereinafter - CF RF) and in abroad counties. Undoubtedly, the application of this barcode in biomedical identification of personality has a huge advantage over similar activities, which has been realized by penal officers (hereinafter - FPS ). This dignity includes enhanced control and safety of employees and convicts from an unauthorized passage of unauthorized persons. Biometric identification of personality conducted by retinal scan, fingerprint scan, facial biometrics scan, body temperature measurement, and voice recognition. However, even such a system has several disadvantages, which were identified by engendering specialists. Lots of scientific works are dedicated to these flaws, which we are going to consider in the article. Also the main varieties of 2D codes were analysed in this article, such as Stackedlinear and Matrixcode. It was found out that 2D coding is used in many different industries: in the process of production, transportation of goods, person identification, encryption of these documents and reports, inventory.
