The article discusses some methodological and theoretical problems of studying the legal consciousness of convicts serving sentences in correctional centers of the penal system of the Russian Federation. The relevance of the study is due to the expansion of the network of correctional centers in the Russian Federation, the specifics of the regime of serving sentences in correctional centers, as well as the need to study the legal awareness of this category of convicts. In the context of the humanization of criminal policy and the expansion of the use of alternative measures for the execution of criminal penalties, the importance of studying the legal awareness of convicts held in correctional centers is increasing, as the most important criterion for indirectly judging the effectiveness of the correctional process..
