In the protection of human rights, compensation for harm caused by a crime is important. This constitutional obligation of the State is to a certain extent ensured by the current legislation, including criminal and operational investigative legislation. However, the practice of executing claims while serving sentences by convicts indicates a low level of compensation for harm. The analysis of the penal enforcement legislation makes it possible to establish unused reserves. The purpose of the study was to consider the process of ensuring compensation for harm caused as a result of the commission of crimes as a task of carrying out operational investigative activities in the execution of sentences in the form of imprisonment. The author suggests specific measures to improve criminal legislation and legislation regulating operational investigative activities in correctional institutions.
