Abstract

People released from prison are a specific social group that is declassified and interned in social relations in conditions of freedom with a certain set of personal qualities and properties acquired in a correctional institution, with a lot of problems (housing, material, psychological, social, family, etc.), and besides that being in the position of  a "status-role moratorium". Article updates and analyses the resources of resocialization of convicted in Russia released from places of imprisonment, as the factors that determine the degree of efficiency of the process of adaptation of this category of citizens in freedom. The author believes that a comprehensive approach to the problem of resocialization of persons released from places of imprisonment, which would take into account the fact that criminal behavior is determined by a raw of  factors, derived from qualities of determination by three sources: natural (human heredity, genotype), social (economic, cultural, political and other human condition) and personal (the free will of man, his own system of meanings, values and life coordinates). The analysis of the latter showed that ignoring the socio-psychological resources of society in the aggregate of the significance of the psychological characteristics of a person released from prison, and its microsocium as a medium of communication and adaptation becomes a factor in the reproduction of recidivism in Russia.
