One of the main tasks of any state is an effective fight against crime. At the same time, the correct choice of the criminal punishment system is of key importance. A fairly large number of recent cases in Russia, Belarus, and especially in Kazakhstan have received criminal penalties in the form of restriction of freedom. As official statistics show, this punishment is very effective, but there are both features of the implementation of restrictions of freedom in each of the countries, and some problems in its application. The purpose of this study is to identify the features of the implementation of criminal punishment in the form of restriction of freedom in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. Objectives of the study: analysis of the legal and regulatory framework; a comparison of restriction of freedom in each of the countries concerned; identification of positive aspects of implementation of penalties; identification of problems in the application of restraint of liberty; preparation of proposals to improve the effectiveness of restriction of freedom in Russia. The following scientific methods were used in the preparation of the study: analysis, synthesis, comparative legal, formal logical, historical-legal and system-structural. Based on the research, a number of changes to the current criminal and penal enforcement legislation of the Russian Federation are proposed. In particular, given the importance of such a means of correction as labor, the experience of Belarusian and Kazakh colleagues in the field of employment of prisoners sentenced to restriction of freedom may well be spread in Russia. It is also possible to consider a ban on the use of alcoholic beverages by convicted persons to restrict their freedom in Russia as an effective measure that contributes to achieving the goals of punishment.
