Civilian Control in Carceral Space: A Case Study of the Krasnoiarsk Public Oversight Commission

Abstract Details

2019, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Slavic and East European Studies.
The purpose of my thesis is to discuss the importance of studying the work of the Public Oversight Commission of the Russian Federation in the context of prisoner rights. My thesis focuses on a case study of the Krasnoiarsk Krai Public Oversight Commission as an effective mechanism of developing greater transparency and accountability in carceral space. The Krasnoiarsk Krai Commission demonstrates that a Commission can operate effectively within the societal constraints placed on civil society by the federal government. I particularly focus on the proactive behavior of the Krasnoiarsk Krai Commission and how its members effectively pursue prisoner rights reform. I discuss the importance of the Krasnoiarsk Krai Commission as a positive model for other Public Oversight Commissions, as it demonstrates that a Commission can maintain a high degree of relevance by being proactive rather than reactive.
