The article substantiates the gaps in the consistency and content of the tasks of operational investigative activities carried out in correctional institutions. Taking into account the provisions of the Federal Law "On Operational Investigative Activities", the need for institutionalization of such a task as the identification and identification of convicted persons who prepare, commit or have committed crimes is argued. It is pointed out that it is inappropriate to consolidate the task of assisting in the identification and disclosure of crimes committed by convicts after release and when replacing the type of criminal punishment, as well as in establishing property subject to confiscation. Legislative proposals have been formulated in the order de lege ferenda.
