Babková, Johana ; Šmídová, Olga (advisor) ; Kurucová, Ľubica (referee)
The subject of this thesis is a description and analysis of life imprisonment prisoners' daily life. The thesis deals with wider integration of daily life in jail. The jail as an institution and its impact on prisoners' life is described in theory. Problems of life imprisonment, key words connected with daily reality of total institutions and jail as a formal organization are also analysed. This work points out the lost of life imprisonment prisoner's identity and the importance of process adaptation in it. That means that life in jail is connected to identity lost during his collision with total institution. This process of identity lost is obvious particularly in of life imprisonment prisoners.

I would like to summarize the daily routine of life imprisonment prisoner. I suppose that this thesis doesn't give unambiguous conclusions but I would like to expound this sphere and...

The topic of this thesis is the issue of the life imprisonment and the main aim is to analyze this punishment in Czech legal environment and to point the possible improvements that could be done in this legal area. Since this kind of punishment has been involved in Czech system of punishments for only 24 years now, it gives enough space for its study and that is why I chose it as the topic of my thesis. This thesis consists of six main chapters. In the first one my task was to enlighten the meaning of the basic terms which are necessary to apprehend in order to be able to understand the problematic of punishments in general. Other half of this chapter is dedicated to the evolution of understanding the term "punishment" itself and the main opinions of the prominent philosophers such as Cesare Beccaria, Ch.L.Montesquieu, J. Locke and others. Second chapter describes the history of the highest penalty and criminal law in general in Czechoslovakia and Czech Republic in the years 1918 - 2009. In this period of time the significant historical events influenced the Czech law, especially the creation of independent Czechoslovak republic, the period of World War II, consequential rise of communism and its fall more than 50 years later..All of these events had main significance for the journey to death...
