The article analyzes the markers of professional personal deformation and describes the features of their manifestation in the staff of the penitentiary system with different content of professional tasks (department staff and employees who work directly with suspects, accused, convicted). It was attended by 70 employees (men) aged 22 to 49 years old. The study used the following psychodiagnostic methods: questionnaire "Professional (emotional) burnout (MBI)" adaptation N.Е. Vodopianova; W. Cook's hostility scale D. Medley; personal questionnaire G. Shmisheka; Methods of multilateral personality research in the modification of Berezin FB; Individually typological questionnaire (L. Sobchik), and also questioning. Frequency analysis of the answers of respondents obtained through the use of the author's questionnaire showed that the majority of employees use obscene expressions when communicating at work and can communicate roughly. Some employees consider it acceptable for them to use physical force and swear words in relation to the special contingent, to violate legal norms for the sake of their personal goals. Comparative analysis of the severity of professional personal deformation markers among the staff of the penitentiary system performing various professional tasks showed that the security department tends to reduce achievements (negative evaluation of its activities, its success, decrease in work motivation) more than the regime department. They are also less sensitive, sentimental, more suspicious, prone to cautious thinking about their own and other people's actions than the staff of the regime department. The department of the regime has less emotional coloring of behavior, their social contacts may differ in formality.
