Abstract: The object of this research is the social relations in the area of execution of criminal sentences not related to isolation of prisoners from society. The subject of this research is the norms of criminal and penal law regulating the types of criminal sentences and procedure of serving  them. Attention is turned to the fact that the current system does not fully resolve the goals of the correction of convicts, prevention of commission of new crimes by them, as well as restoration of social justice. It is necessary to make the system more logical, eliminate duplication of separate types of punishments, and improve their organization and execution. The scientific novelty of this study consists in determination of the problems in the legal regulation and law enforcement practice in execution of punishments unrelated to isolation of inmates from society. The research particularly reveals duplication of types of punishments with regards to incarceration and irrationality of their structure within the system of punishment depending on the punitive effect. The author proposes making an accent on the execution of punishment in form of fines and mandatory community service as the main types, and incarceration as an additional form of punishment.
