Ensuring human rights and legitimate interests in Kazakhstan and Russia is a prior activity of the state. One of the most effective ways to encourage law-abiding behavior of convicts is to implement a progressive system of serving sentences. Unfortunately, the term “progressive system” is not used in the current Kazakh and Russian legislation. It is much more common in the literature than in normative legal acts.The article presents the author’s understanding of the progressive system and proposes its definition taking into account the positions of various scientists. The importance of effective implementation of the institutions of the progressive system for crime prevention both in isolation from society and after the release from punishment is considered.The key point in the application of progressive system institutions is to determine the degree of convicts’ correction. The generally recognized classification of convicts is given: positive convicts (those who have embarked on the path of correction, who have firmly embarked on the path of correction and proved their correction) and negative ones (those who have not embarked on the path of correction and petty violators of the regime). In this regard the author offers the idea of the criteria for correction of the convicts, classification of degrees of correction. Three classification groups are analyzed (those that have embarked on the path of correction, those that have firmly embarked on the path of correction, and those that have proved their correction). On the basis of this analysis the conclusion is made about the insufficiency of these criteria in modern conditions, that is, the need to differentiate the degree of correction of a large number of categories of convicts.
