The current problems of reintegration of people released from prison sentences
HOJDEKROVÁ, Adriana
This bachelor's thesis deals with the current issue of reintegration of persons released from prison. The iam of the bachelor's thesis is to describe the current state of reintegration of persons released from prison in the Czech Republic and to identify the problems faced by socil curators and probation officers working in post-penitentiary care. A partial objective was also to propose some optimization recommendations for this area. The theoretical part is divided into three chapters focusing on current trends in the Czech Republic and abroad. It also deals with the process of reintegration of convicted persons from the time of their incarceration until their return into society with an emphasis on the deveploment and support of activities during the execution of their sentence. Two research questions have been identified for the research part: 1. What problems with the reintegration of the persons released from prison do the respondents (social curators, probation officers) see in their work? 2. What solutions to reintegration problems and difficulties do the respondents propose? To research these issues a qualitative method was used in the form of semi-structured interviews with social curators and probation officers. The obtained data were categorized using open coding and the results were recorded in the tables. Finally various recommendations suggested by the respondents aiming at the best possible results of the reintegration are outlined. The research shows that the problems of persons after serving a prison sentence are "deep", and systemic, and not just those that are apparent at first glance. For example problems with housing are only visible manifestations of deeper causes. I am concerned that an effective solutions is not possible in the current socio-political setting of our society because the first-plan solutions are not enough and we are not willing to introduce systemic plans. Under current circumstances, functional family relationship appear to be the most significant element supporting the reintegration of persons after serving a prison sentence. It is necessary that the experts assist this target group during the execution of their sentence and work with them on specific topics. Because if you put a broken car in the garage, it won't fix itself either.
