The aim of this work is to look at the prison's environment in Světlá nad Sázavou and to present the results of qualitative examination implemented just in that environment. Those results have been found out through the dialogues with sentenced mothers and prison service employees (psychologist, educator). Furthermore found out through non-structured observation. The research examination wants to answer folowing questions: What are the life conditions of children placed in mothers with children prisons like? What is the convicted mothers' view of their children's care, upbringing and education themselves? What is the prison service employees' view of sentenced mothers' care of their children? The results show the lack of outer motivation which influence the children in prison and unsatisfying psychic needs. The uncompromising priority seems to be material conditions and children's dependency on mothers. The research indicates that prisons are unable to provide such background, which a child gets at home in family environment. Mothers must realize that they have been confinemented.
