A study is made of a system of modified equations for the evolution of hard jets, in which terms are introduced to take into account phenomenologically the confinement of quarks and gluons. The mean multiplicity of hard partons in a jet and the energy carried by them are calculated. It is shown that in the initial stage of development of a jet these characteristics agree with those calculated on the basis of the ordinary evolution equations with a definite cutoff in the parton energy.
