ŽELEZNÁ, Tereza

Based on the statistics taken from the World Prison Brief database, it analyses the number of prisoners in the given countries of the world. The theoretical part of the work is focused on the definition and delineation of basic terms from the field of penology and social pathology, as well as theories that are closely related to prison systems. The analytical part examines the influence of individual groups of economic, social and other factors on the share of imprisoned persons. The quantitative method of evaluating the influence of selected factors is characterized by correlation analysis. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to clearly interpret the spatial differences in the observed phenomenon and to find the main determinants that encourage the occurrence of criminal behaviour and imprisonment itself. The synthetic part focuses on the distribution of the investigated phenomenon in a macro-regional concept in order to generalize and facilitate the determination of the main determinants and specifics of the distribution of the investigated phenomenon.

The research part consists of qualitative research using the method of open-questioned structured interviews that are then being used to analyse interviews with the workers of Probation and Mediation Services in South Bohemia, Prague, and Hradec Králové. Via research, it was found out that the workers of Probation and Mediation services understand the following things to be problematic: great amount of administrative work, no respect for certain recommendations meant for the courthouse, and employing prisoners. Simultaneously, it was found out that those on conditional release do not perceive any relevant problem when cooperating with Probation and Mediation Services. Based on these results, solutions and recommendations have been designed for the purposes of probation officers´ work in the future, the application of which should make some work easier for the officers. Further, some solutions have been designed to problems in employing individuals on conditional release. These solutions include simplifying administration, greater respect towards probation officers from the courthouse´s side as well as greater awareness of potential employers of individuals on conditional release.

The thesis Prison Privatization in the United States: The Limits and Consequences of the Transfer of Public Power into Private Hands analyzes selected consequences of prison privatization in the United States.

The thesis then examines the factors that led to the decision to privatize prisons, namely overcrowding of prisons, other political factors, and so-called PIE-program that enabled interstate trade with prisoner-made goods. Further, it provides detailed statistics to illustrate the steep rise in the prison population. It also addresses the question of cost-savings and efficiency and it provides examples of specific factors that influence economic performance of private prisons.
