Possibilities of Activation of a Client Set at Liberty from Imprisonment from the Point of View of a Social Worker
LUDÍNOVÁ, Ivanka Anna
As a subject-matter of my bachelor's thesis I have chosen "Actuation possibilities for a person released after serving the imprisonment sentence (SIS) in a social worker's view", because the theme is so actual in respect of the number of the imprisoned and the urgent need to motivate such clients towards active cooperation with social workers in order to succeed in their reintegration to our society. The bachelor's thesis is divided into two parts. Within the theoretical chapter, I am defining key terms and latest approaches which are both the most current in the field of social services and welfare, and essential for the research pursuit. I also deal with the hottest issues of people recently experiencing the SIS, their characteristics, life situation and the imprisonment impact on their personalities. In other chapters, I address to particular activities of social curators, their scope of work and tasks being applied upon treatment of clients released from prison after SIS. As for the elaboration of the research chapter of this bachelor's thesis and the accomplishment of stipulated objectives, a quantitative observation/questioning survey is used. The original and main aim of my bachelor's thesis has been to detect all needs of prospective clients, who are to be released from prison after serving the imprisonment sentence in near future, while residing permanently in the territory of the Pilsen City, to find out more on potential difficulties of a social curator-client cooperation within their mutual continual work and post penitentiary care, and also, in terms of the ascertained needs of such clients including the mentioned collaboration risks, to recommend a practicable actuation process of a client released from prison after serving a sentence. Based on the specified objectives, two hypotheses have been formulated. The research section describes the initial goals of investigation, methodology and techniques chosen for gathering the required information, and I am describing the search sample and the execution of data acquisition, too. Furthermore, I focus on the data interpretation and last but not least the discussion over the interviewing results. The intention of my thesis is fulfilled. The assumption no. 1 cannot be confirmed at all while the second assumption has now been fully proved to be true. This approach could be used as a guideline for other colleagues ? social curators, and/or it might also broaden the awareness horizons of the laics and general public on this tough and complicated situation of the clients released from prison sentence along with a social curator's challenging job.

Social Including of Convicted Offenders Left from Prison
PROCHÁZKOVÁ, Andrea
The title of the thesis is Social Integration of People Released from the Prison. The theoretical part describes current situation concerning living conditions of the people sentenced to the prison, that are determined by legal standards in Czech Republic and by internal regulations of each jail house. These conditions form the personality of convicts and influence their social situation, relationships, and connections. The convicts need after the release to be helped with their integration into the society the most and also to be helped with handling their social situation to avoid recidivism. The aim of the diploma work is to describe problems of individuals released from the prison and the process of resocialization in detail. The thesis also provides the survey of possibilities for helping these people, thus service provided for people with inability to adapt to a society and types of facilities dealing with this target group. The practical part was conceived as the qualitative research in form of case studies using semi-structured interviews with the individuals released from the prison. I asked eight clients 28 questions in following categories: social situation of clients before the sentence, their life while imprisoned, their return to freedom and cooperation of the clients with institutions. There was also performed subsidiary quantitative research within the diploma work. I inquired social workers supervising released adults two questions, using e-mail correspondence. The questions were concerning the most frequent problems they had to deal with, after a client was released from the prison, and also services in Czech Republic{\crq}s system that workers missed in helping the target group. I outlined the comparison of the results coming out of my investigation with the current situation in related area, and also with other investigations at the end of my thesis. I recommend for improving the situation of the released individuals from prison to establish institutions with complete range of assistance, multi focused team, and the support in employing the people with criminal records as the high quality instrument of their social integration.

Assisting ex-convicts to find permanent placement and employment and their chances for successful rehabilitation back into society.
KOPAČKOVÁ, Bohumila
The issue of adaptation of persons released from imprisonment to the life of freedom is a complicated matter. Recovery or even the necessity to learn completely new life habits, skills and activities is a complex and long process during which the newly released prisoner faces many risky moments and such a person could be re-failure. This thesis is focused on mapping the extent and availability of services to persons released from imprisonment. I would especially like to focus on finding out about the degree of qualification, work experience, skills, work habits and motivations of released people in their reintegration process after the release. Chances of getting a job are related to this. The research was conducted through interviews using a questionnaire survey among the imprisoned who were a short time before the release from imprisonment (maximum of 6 months) and those just after the release from their imprisonment. Research was conducted in the period from February to June 2010. The research results show what factors and how they can undermine the process of rehabilitation of people released from imprisonment. In practice, this bachelor thesis can be used as an outline for the prevention of problems in the field of recidivism. It can be completed by a number of local studies dealing with this issue and which are based especially on the examination of criminal statistics. It offers a subjective perspective of the evaluation of life position and risks of recidivism of prisoners. I believe that the objective of the thesis, which was to map the scope and availability of services to persons released from imprisonment and the related issue of their chances in the labour market, has been met and I have managed to handle the given topic in the form I had outlined.

PRIMAKOVÁ, Martina
The present bachalor{\crq}s thesis titled The work of Probation and Mediation Service with a group of people on parole and under police supervision deals in detail with the activities of the said institution in the Czech Republic. Long-term sentence have no positive results, therefore alternatives are being sought, alternatives that would replace traditional forms of criminals´ punishments. A large contribution has been seen in activities carried out by the staff of Probation and Mediation service. Thanks to it, many of those condemned are allowed to accept another/alternative form of punishment apart from imprisonment. Theoretical part of the thesis gives an account of the activities performend by Probation and Mediation Service in the Czech Republic, it describes its origins, organizational structure, principles, objectives, and function. The thesis also dwells on some projects the Service is participating on and which are essential for reintegration of the people released from prison. The research part of the thesis presents a quantitative survey that employed a method of questioning using the technique of semi-standardized (semi-conducted) interview, and a method of content analysis using the technique of secondary data analysis. The surveyed group contained the total of 15 clients of Probation and Mediation Service in České Budějovice. The aim of this work was to find out whether the people released on perole have a chance to come back to their original family bacgrounds, if they can find jobs and shelters, the impact of the punishment on the family as a whole, the amount of information they have, and the positive and negative aspects they saw in being sentenced and sent to prison. The findings of the survey are as follows: If the prisoners released from prison heve a functional family background even befor they started their imprisonment, they are welcome to come back even after having been released from prison. Upon their release, they tend to find some dwelling and proper job. The least negative impact has been detected in connection with relations between parents and children, noticeably negative impact has been observed in connection with relationships between partners. The amount of economical information provided for people released from prison is insufficient. The positive aspects of imprisonment include lessons the prisoners learn from their mistakes, and tendency to emphasize family relations. The negative aspects of imprisonment include mainly damaged family relations, the loss of a close person, the feeling of life loos, and stigmatization.
