The research of subjects and forms of public participation in the activities of the penal system of Russia has recently received considerable attention. The article studies the formation and development of the institution of guardianship as a form of interaction and public control over the activities of penal institutions. For two centuries with some interruptions guardianship was not only present in the system of execution of criminal sentences, contributed to the achievement of state objectives, but also exercised control functions. The study allows us to assess the significance and effectiveness of the activities of the boards of guardians over the entire period of its existence. Currently there is a significant decrease in the level of this type of interaction, and in some institutions its complete absence. The current level of organization and authority does not allow the the guardianship to develop. This is confirmed by the analysis of the regulatory legal acts regulating the activities of the boards of guardians in the institutions of the penal system, the data of the survey of employees in the institutions.
