The federal legislation views the prevention of juvenile delinquency and antisocial actions as very significant, since an offense is understood as an administrative offense and a criminal offense, and antisocial actions include other offenses. This issue is topical for young offender institutions; however, the special category of detainees implies a special category of crimes and violations of the established order of serving the sentence (disciplinary responsibility of convicts). By the end of 2020, there were 949 people in 18 young offender institutions. According to the statistics, the convicts did not commit crimes, yet there were more than 545 other violations. In the current circumstances, it is necessary to improve the prevention of offenses by focusing on specific activities in penal institutions, including active use of non-contact supervision over the behavior of convicts (stationary video cameras, portable video recorders, biometric identification means, access control and management systems). The researchers and practitioners are discussing the possibility of using electronic monitoring systems to supervise the behavior of convicts. This will allow a better quality of supervision over the special contingent and more effective preventive activities in young offender institutions.

Offenses of convicts serving sentences in youth detention centers are a socially dangerous social phenomenon that (1) is expressed in the form of action or inaction, (2) exists in a certain time period on the territory of the center or an adjacent territory where regime requirements are established, (3) violates the provisions of legal norms and rules of conduct established by the laws of the Russian Federation, (4) aims to satisfy personal or group interests or evade the fulfillment of legal requirements imposed on convicts by the administration of youth detention centers. Offenses committed in centers, on the basis of their public danger, are divided into crimes (criminal) and misdemeanors (disciplinary, administrative, civil law, material); on the basis of the number of subjects who committed them into individual and group. Of interest both in theoretical terms and for practical activities are offenses with an increased level of public danger and frequent in youth detention centers, these are group crimes and group violations of the established procedure for serving sentences committed in centers. These types of offenses should be given special attention both in the development of their theoretical foundations and the formation of practical measures aimed at preventing them.

The object of the present study is the penitentiary legal relations associated with the participation of convicts in videoconferencing with the courts. A study is made of the practice of implementation in the activities of correctional institutions of measures related to the participation of convicts in video conferencing with the courts. An analysis is made of the provisions of regulatory legal acts regulating the withdrawal, escort and supervision of convicts participating in videoconferencing with the courts. A survey is conducted among employees of correctional institutions, whose activities are related to the organization of the participation of convicts in videoconferencing with the courts. Legal and organizational shortcomings associated with the withdrawal, escort and supervision of convicts participating in video conferencing are identified, and ways to eliminate them are proposed. The methodological basis of the study is a questionnaire survey, which involves receiving written answers to the questions formulated in the questionnaire from employees of correctional institutions of the Siberian Federal District in order to obtain real data on activities related to organizing the participation of convicts in videoconferencing with courts. This method made it possible to identify organizational problems associated with the withdrawal, support, organization and supervision of the convict during their participation in videoconferencing with the courts. As a result of the study, an algorithm is proposed for withdrawing, accompanying and supervising convicts participating in video conferencing.
