Socio-pedagogical conditions for forming the readiness of future officers of the Federal Penalty Service for professional activities on the example of the Samara Law Institute of Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia

The authors consider organizational issues related to the preparation of cadets of the Samara Law Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia for service in institutions and bodies of the penal system. Of course, in order for the penal enforcement system to develop, it is necessary that every year the ranks of employees include well-trained personnel who understand the importance of working in the penitentiary system. The article analyzes the disciplines that are given special attention when preparing cadets for service, depending on the specialty and field of activity. In addition, the aspects of practical training with trips outside the institute on the territory of various correctional institutions located within the Samara region are considered more positively. It was concluded that practical visits to various types of correctional institutions favorably affect the cadets' understanding of the essence of the penal system. Communicating with current employees, cadets form an idea of their future activities. It is the process of sharing experience that is the key point of practice. This is due to the fact that some current employees have been working in the system for many years and know how to behave in emergency situations that occur almost every day in the penal system.
