On some directions of improving the educational process with convicts in penal institutions

Currently for many domestic facilities the issue of shortage of workers has become topical. It seems that this problem can be partially solved by able-bodied citizens who are in places of detention. It is noted that a large number of convicts do not have a secondary education as well as a profession or specialty. In this regard the authors analyzed the most relevant areas of the educational process in correctional institutions in order to identify the conditions for the professional self-determination of convicts and their basic preparation for the development of working professions. In the context of the problem under consideration the main mechanism can be educational work carried out by prison staff with convicts, focused on a differentiated and integrated approach. The individual form of work will allow the convicts to form moral, physical and labor qualities to achieve material benefits through their education and work. It is important that for effective educational work from the initial stage of being in the quarantine unit, the convicted person must be given psychological support and outlined his future perspective in getting an education, choosing the working specialty. Attention is focused on building the necessary interaction with the employment service with the ability to find a job after being released from prison. The analysis of the regulatory literature regulating the organization of the educational process of convicts was carried out. The conclusion was made that the educational process in correctional institutions should be implemented taking into account the further improvement of educational and psychological work through effective interaction between the heads of the units, psychologists, school teachers and masters of vocational schools.
