Abstract:
Здійснено правовий аналіз і висвітлено питання залучення до суспільно корисної праці
засуджених, які відбувають покарання у вигляді позбавлення волі на певний строк, у
пенітенціарних установах Іспанії. Проаналізовано думки іспанських науковців, які вивчали це
питання, з погляду на роль, місце і значення праці у житті засуджених, під час відбування ними
покарання, судова практика, а також іспанське пенітенціарне законодавство і міжнародно-правові
акти, що діють у цій сфері. Встановлено, що відмова засудженого від навчання та здійснення
продуктивної праці не вважається проступком і не тягне за собою відповідальність.
Description:
The article carries out a legal analysis and highlights the issue of
involvement in socially useful work of convicts who are serving a sentence of imprisonment for a certain
period in Spanish penitentiaries. The opinions of Spanish scientists who studied this issue were analyzed
from the point of view of the role, place and importance of work in the lives of convicts, during their
sentence, judicial practice, as well as Spanish penitentiary legislation and international legal acts
operating in this area.
It has been determined that in the Spanish penitentiary legislation, work is considered as a right
and a duty of the convict. At the same time, work is considered in a broad sense and is divided into
productive and non-productive. In turn, non-productive, along with training and vocational education, can
include other types of socially useful activities that can be carried out in a penitentiary institution taking
into account its regime, without harming its normal activity, the safety of personnel and convicts, and the
implementation of necessary measures for orderly life in the institution.
It has been found that work is considered as a fundamental element of the process of serving the
sentence and is carried out with the aim of re-education and social reintegration of the convict, preparing
them for life in freedom. The process of its implementation is built with the participation of a specially
created state body of public law, which acts as an employer and was created for the purpose of promoting,
organizing and monitoring productive work and professional training of convicts in penitentiary
institutions. It has been emphasized that the convict’s right to work depends on the material and
budgetary capabilities of the penitentiary institution.
It has been established that the convict’s refusal to study and perform productive work is not
considered a misdemeanor and does not entail responsibility.
