Abstract. The problem of the recidivism of punishment in the form of imprisonment, traditionally refers to the most pressing problems of social science. This is due to the fact that being isolated from society, the convict is forced to integrate into the social education that has been formed in places of deprivation of liberty. The specific relationships that exist among convicts in the penitentiary society also leave a certain imprint on the nature of those relationships that are considered acceptable in this environment. The administration of correctional institutions is forced to take into account the system of informal relations that has developed among convicts in order to implement penitentiary practices necessary for the correction of convicts. For many decades, a system of qualitative assessment of the personality of convicts serving sentences of imprisonment has been formed. The article notes that there is a rather unhealthy practice of focusing on the criminal characteristics of the convict’s personality, which began to influence the shift in emphasis in the application of penitentiary practices from correction to punishment. This is most clearly seen in the institute of preventive accounting used in correctional institutions. The Administration is making efforts to identify negative personality traits in convicts in order to use them in determining priorities in the application of penitentiary practices. The authors propose to consider such an approach as hindering the effective use of penitentiary prevention. As a result, the article proposes to shift the focus in the activities of the correctional institution administration to socially significant personality traits of the convicted person in order to correctly determine priorities in the process of penitentiary prevention.

Keywords: personality of the convicted person; criminological features of the personality; penitentiary prevention; socially significant personality traits of the convicted person
