Unfree labor in criminal law of Ukraine: does any prospects?

The author is giving a historical and legal analysis of kind of punishment as remedial work. In this work the author defines the place of correctional labor in the system of penalties in Ukraine, the persons to whom a penalty may be applied, as well as the categories of persons to whom it does not apply (pregnant women, regardless of gestational age, disabled persons, persons who are not attained the age of sixteen, law enforcement officers and others.). The article raises the question of the future existence of the penalty of correctional labor. Theoretical and practical implications suggest the need to avoid this type of punishment from the penal system. The author believes that at the current stage of development of the criminal law of Ukraine correctional labor lost its primary punitive function.
