The methodology. In the course of the study, a complex of general scientific and special methods of scientific search was used, including scientific abstraction, a systematic approach, a dialectical method of cognition, as well as comparative legal and structural-system methods of research.

The prerequisites for promising changes in the legislation that determine the need for a significant modernization of the production sector of the penitentiary system are identified. The expansion of the practice of implementing production projects with the involvement of private business initiatives in penitentiary institutions makes it possible to strengthen the corrective impact of socially useful labour, to improve convicts’ food and clothing provision, as well as the communal living conditions of their detention. Conclusion. The article substantiates the need to develop a concept of interaction between the penitentiary system and the business community in order to improve the efficiency of convicts’ employment and their correction, within the framework of which the most relevant directions and stages of the development of public-private partnership should be determined in the future.
