This study is devoted to an analysis of the mechanism of legal regulation of parole and the practice of its implementation by the judicial authorities of the Russian Federation. The main focus is on the procedure for granting parole. The problems of law enforcement are identified: the uncertainty of the criteria for correction, the subjectivity of judicial discretion, and the contradictory approaches to assessing compensation for harm in cases where employment is objectively impossible. A decline in the number and proportion of satisfied applications for parole is demonstrated, along with a simultaneous increase in recidivism among parolees. Measures to improve the system are proposed: to clarify the regulatory criteria for rehabilitation, to strengthen cooperation between the courts and the administration of correctional institutions and the probation service, and to expand post penitentiary monitoring and social support.
