This edition is a publication on the problems of reforming prisons and improving the conditions of detention of prisoners. Much attention is paid to the disclosure of prison problems and proposed ways of solving these problems in the spirit of humanism and social responsibility. In each issue of the magazine, information is shared about the society's work, the results of research in the field of criminal responsibility, and other interesting materials aimed at improving prison conditions and rehabilitation of convicts.
