Within the framework of the publication, he considers a separate fragment of the ideological and political heritage of the founder of the movement of Siberian democratic regionalists (regionalists) - N. M. Yadrintsev. The author focuses on the philosophical and political reflection of the adherent of regionalism around the problem of the profession of a prison officer in the framework of the ongoing penitentiary policy in the Russian Empire. The purpose of the work involves the identification and reconstruction of the socio-political views of the Siberian intellectual in the field of penitentiary policy and, above all, on issues of its staffing. The ideas and concepts of a prominent representative of the ideology of the regionalists are not always explicated, often eclectic and disparate. This circumstance caused the application of a certain methodology. To achieve the designated goal, the most successful is the interdisciplinary toolkit of political textology, which is being thoroughly developed at the Faculty of Political Science of Moscow State University. Methodological techniques of political and textological analysis in synergy with classical hermeneutical research guidelines allow us to reconstruct and conceptualize the problems of employees of the pre-revolutionary prison system in the socio-political views of N. M. Yadrintsev. Mainly, the study is based on published sources, the works of current political journalism of the founder of the regional ideology are analyzed. Despite open access, most of these sources in the modern history of political doctrines are almost a bibliographic rarity. Therefore, the appeal to the little-known works of N. M. Yadrintseva seems to be important and justified. In general, the work found that in the political concept of the founder of the ideology of Siberian democratic regionalism, the thesis is obvious that the success of the state penitentiary policy directly depends on the personnel of penitentiary institutions.
