Preventing Sexual Denial of Convicts in Conditions of Social Isolation

Abstract

The deviant sexual behavior of the convicts is a negative influence on society. It affects a wide range of phenomena of social life and therefore studied criminology, especially in the system of execution of criminal punishment.

For employees of the penal system, the knowledge of the legal and psychological nature of sexual excesses is extremely important. Unfortunately, official data does not allow us to establish a true picture of this phenomenon in penitentiary institutions. When assessing crime rates in places of detention (especially those related to the sexual sphere), one should take into account the high latency of crime, which is largely due to shortcomings in the system of assessing correctional indicators.

The facts of malignancy and other deviant sexual manifestations negatively affect the morale of convicted prisoners, reduce their level of optimism and positive activity in the process of serving a 

sentence. From the legal point of view, the facts of sexual deviations from convicts are similar to actions directed against the health of other persons, harm the public order, which contradicts the objectives of criminal-executive legislation, which include regulation of the order and terms of serving a sentence, the choice of remedies for the convicts, the protection of their rights and legitimate interests, providing them with assistance in social adaptation.

The most significant factors influencing the formation of deviant sexual behavior of convicts are: early sexual experience (girls are more likely to be prostitutes up to the formation of early deviant sexual activity (up to 14 years); hereditary burden with various psychological illnesses, chronic alcoholism (narcotism) of parents; sexual violence in childhood; unfavorable conditions of education; incomplete family (absence of a parent); prolonged stay in same-sex groups (social shelters, children’s boys dignas, boarding schools, educational colonies), the presence of signs of psychological and psychosexual deviations, the impact of the specific environment of penitentiary institutions and other places of isolation from society. Magullous has a number of distinctive features, for example, its passive form denies group norms of convicts, since passive homosexuals belong to the category «Offended» – convicts with a low social status, the most disgraced part of the deprivation of liberty. It includes passive homosexuals, individuals convicted of sexual offenses, and some other categories of persons. They are also called «comb», «marigold», «cock» and give them a separate area «cock crowd». The unofficial regulation of malignancy contributes to its significant spread among convicts and complicates detection and disclosure.

Homosexual relationships concentrate the object of conflict criminogenic situations in male penitentiary institutions. Particular attention deserves forced forgiveness, which, in conditions of social isolation, is closely linked to criminal behavior, such as sexual exploitation, prostitution.

Often, convicts are stepped up at a place of non-liberty already with this status, previously attributed to them by representatives of the criminal subculture in a temporary detention center or a detention center. This status is recognized by the bulk of the convicted person and stored in a person not only before the expiration of the sentence, but for life.

The more severe the trauma of the victim in sexual violence (especially the subject he first), the higher his risk of suicide and 

more severe depression. Young people, especially minors, victims of such violence may develop deep emotional (mental) violations.

Despite the fact that the person acquired low sexual status in places of non-freedom, to change practically n.

The more severe the trauma of the victim in sexual violence (especially the subject he first), the higher his risk of suicide and more severe depression. Young people, especially minors, victims of such violence may develop deep emotional (mental) violations.

Despite the fact that the person acquired a low sexual status in places of non-freedom, it is virtually impossible to change, victims of homosexual violence, displaying unlawful behavior, often try to confront the situation, improve their social status, take revenge on the abusers, leading them to commit serious crimes (murders, damage to health, escape, etc.

When organizing individual educational work with this category of persons, one should be guided by the fact that they readily carry out any violations that come from the leaders of informal groups of negative orientation, including those connected with violent actions against others, do not claim to take leadership positions in a criminal subculture, commit the same type of offense.

Disciplinary measures of influence do not significantly affect their behavior, since its causes are related to defects of the individual. Educational work with such people involves achieving a higher level of personality, integrating and disclosing their opportunities for therapeutic purposes and successful adaptation in society. The high latency of husbands and other sexual deviations of convicts is indicated by the fact that in almost every colony (often in many detachments) there are such convicts.

The development of a complex of measures (organizational, regime, medical, legal, etc.) to prevent deviant sexual behavior of convicted prisoners is obvious, since it increases the effectiveness of counteracting these negative manifestations.
