It is concluded that compulsory work as a type of criminal penalty is enshrined in the country’s criminal legislation and has its own content.The content and essence of compulsory work as a criminal penalty are expressed in the fact that during it the convicted person engages in useful social work without pay and thereby compensates for his sin before society. This punishment has punitive consequences and acts as a measure of correction of the convicted person. The content and essence of compulsory work as a criminal penalty are simultaneously expressed by its characteristics and features.
