The legal and organizational aspects of correction are considered, including the revision of sentences, the expansion of probation, the improvement of educational work and deradicalization programs. The risks of prolonged isolation, which contributes to the deepening of criminal identity, loss of social skills and the formation of destructive religious views, are analyzed. Measures are proposed for the individual support of convicts, the development of work, educational programs and social adaptation. Special attention is paid to the need to reform the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, introduce modern penitentiary practices and strengthen control over penitentiary institutions. The article also examines current trends in the development of the penitentiary system of the Republic of Kazakhstan and analyzes factors contributing to the formation of extremist views among persons serving sentences of imprisonment. Particular attention is paid to the prevention of radicalization, the development of educational and labor programs, and the introduction of mechanisms for individual support and social adaptation of convicts. Based on the analysis of domestic and foreign practice, the author proposes directions for improving the penitentiary system aimed at reducing recidivism and preventing the spread of destructive ideologies within correctional institutions.
