Abstract
The article analyzes international legal acts and views of scientists, which are related to personal security of prisoners, and problems associated with such rights. The author came to the conclusion that the actual conditions of detention of convicts in penal institutions have significant differences with the international standards of treatment and detention of prisoners. In the reports of the European Committee for the prevention of torture noted that poor conditions of detention in places of deprivation of liberty, especially in detention centers, overcrowding in places of detention, many other disadvantages that relate to the prisoners food, medical care, handling of personnel of the penal institutions is part of such handling, humiliated dignity of prisoners. The laws of foreign countries are gradually brought into compliance with the requirements of international law, although in reality there are certain obstacles for the implementation of international rules and standards of handling of prisoners, including those associated with ensuring their personal security, which include: lack of sufficient state financing, overflow of penal institutions, insufficient number of staff colonies and the low level of professional commitment. Classifying international legal instruments, it should be noted that most of these sources are not legally binding under international law and in particular in Ukraine. However, recognizing the significant impact and the credibility of the international acts on the theory and practice of corrections, it can be concluded that they can be the moral principles that form the basis of activity of State penal service of Ukraine.
