I focused on the observance or violation of ethic norms and what kind of ethic dilemmas arise during the day-to-day service in the prisions. How the individual prision officers are coping with the dilemmas and how are affected by them in both private and professional life. In the thesis the method of so-called in-depth interview is used and five subjects (prison officers) were interviewed anonymously. I interviewed them with the use of predefined questions. Based upon the five in-depth interviews I formulated a list of crucial points of similarities and differencies in respect to the answers of the subjects. At the end of this thesis I commented on the dissimilarity of the opinions of the subjects and I suggested what could be improved in the Prison Service of the Czech Republic regarding the work of the prison officers. In the first appendix the levels of moral ity according to Kohlberg are explained.
