Abstract
The publication is devoted to the reconstruction of social and political ideas of N. M. Yadrintsev in the field of problems of penitentiary policy. The authors emphasize the current political journalism of the ideologist of the Siberian regionalism, presented in the pre-revolutionary publications Delo and Nedelya. The purpose of the study is to show that it was on the pages of these central publications that the Siberian intellectual for the first time in his ideological and political heritage multilaterally reflected on exile as a punishment and widely discussed the “prison issue”. The article establishes that the founder of Siberian democratic regionalism consistently and systematically outlined a set of problematic issues and pain points of the state penitentiary policy of pre-revolutionary Russia already at an early stage of his ideological and political work. It is also shown that, within the framework of cooperation with democratic St. Petersburg publications, N. M. Yadrintsev shared with the reader his own observations and thoughts about the correctional and colonization significance of exile. Trying to substantiate the thesis of the inexpediency of exile to Siberia, the educator on the pages of the "Case" gave a detailed analysis of the historical sketch of Russian exile. Also, the ideologist of regionalism emphasized that solitary confinement, especially long-term one, only coarsens the criminal.
