Abstract
The article examines the civil, socio-economic, and cultural rights and freedoms of persons sentenced to deprivation of liberty and held in places of detention. Based on the study of international standards for the treatment of prisoners, the experience of the penitentiary system of developed democratic countries, opinions of domestic and foreign scholars, national legislation, and its application in the institutions of the penal system of the Republic of Kazakhstan, gaps, norms contributing to corruption, and other shortcomings in legal regulation have been identified. Based on this, recommendations have been formulated for improving criminal-executive legislation, developing and adopting organizational and financial measures to address existing problems.
