Abstract

The paper studies the institution of conditional early release from criminal punishment in its relative historical aspect. The survey allows us to estimate the historical conditionality of the specified institution and take into account the positive experience of the previous legal regulation. Studying conditional early release from criminal punishment, we can conclude that the institute of exemption from criminal punishment has gone a long way of evolution from the replacement of punishment with a more lenient one to the independent institution. This path indicates the presence of historical conditionality which is one of the criteria of efficiency of the institutions of law. The legislator’s accounting of positive experience will reduce the percentage of relapse.
