Documentary abstract — original language

In the early 19th century, the Prison Guardianship Society was established in the Russian Empire. Its overall goal was to provide assistance to prisoners in places of confinement, primarily of a moral and corrective nature. Thus, the Society's activities were primarily humanistic in nature. The establishment of the Society was the result of an initiative that arose after the presentation to Emperor Alexander I of a report by the English philanthropist Venning on the state of prisons in Russia and the experience of such public activities in his country. This article examines the emergence of the Prison Guardianship Society, its legal status, goals, and main areas of activity. Accordingly, the regulatory documents governing the Society's activities, archival documents, and scholarly works on the topic are analyzed. It is noted that this aspect of penitentiary policy was highly relevant for Russia, given that prison conditions were generally extremely unsatisfactory. The Society itself was part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Ingushetia, which included the Main Prison Administration. The territorial committees of the Prison Guardianship Society were somewhat beneficial in their activities, but they often functioned only formally.
