The article considers one of the tasks of the guard units, namely the organization and implementation of access control to the territory of correctional institutions. In this context, we analyze the legal regulation concerning the implementation of access control to the territory of correctional institutions, identify its main types (access to a restricted area, access to an institution, access to areas inside the institution), and propose a definition of the term “access mode”. By analyzing Federal and departmental legal acts as well as the rulings of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, some conflicts are identified in the legal regulation of the procedure for access mode implementation, namely, concerning the access to the territory of correctional institutions of persons entitled to visit the institutions without special permission, as well as lawyers and persons providing legal assistance. To avoid the above conflicts of law, some amendments to normative legal regulation are proposed, namely, some changes in the access procedure for the said persons.
