In the article, based on the analysis of the materials of criminal cases initiated in 2010-2015, an attempt is made to identify certain criminal characteristics of the personality of a typical convicted person who commits crimes in the form of disorganization of the institution providing isolation from society during the period of serving a criminal sentence in the form of imprisonment in correctional colonies of general, strict and special regimes. It was found that the commission of such crimes is typical of male persons with secondary education. As a rule, penitentiary criminals disorganizing the activities of institutions that provide isolation from society are not on preventive and medical records. However, such a category of criminals more often has two or more criminal convictions, the experience of committing crimes related to violence or the threat of its use, as well as crimes against justice and state power. A characteristic feature of convicts committing such crimes is also the fact that the majority of such persons are violators of the established regime of serving punishment.
