Dvorská, Kateřina ; Brenza, Jiří (advisor) ; Matoušek, Petr (referee)
RESOURCES: The work of the Prison Service is associated with a higher rate of the frustration tolerance, increased stress, resilience and awareness. The prison environment carries with it very demanding working conditions, shift work and contact with human suffering and/or death. These risks that accompany the work of helping professions within prison facilities may lead to using of addictive substances by facilities' employees. Thus, a hypothesis was formed, among others based on the personal experience of the author of the work, that these employees use addictive substances. To this time, no other research was performed within the environment of the Prison Service of the Czech Republic that would aim on using of addictive substances among the professional staff coming into contact with an imprisoned person.

METHODS: The study is performed in a quantitative form via standardized questionnaires: the AUDIT test and Fagerström Test of Nicotine Dependence. The selection of the file was performed via an Intentional (Purposeful) Selection within which persons were chosen who met criteria given by us and were interested in participating in the...
SECURITY AS ONE PRINCIPLE OF MODERN PRISON SERVICE
KLOZAROVÁ, Lenka
The modern prison service is formed by three principles. One of them is a principle of security. The penology security can be understood from different points of view depending on if we look at the problem as general public, prison staff or the prisoners themselves. The development of the prison service, its total cultural level and material conditions reflect the cultural and economic state of the society. The way in which criminal offenders are treated expresses the relation of the society to an individual and the attitude to civil rights and liberties. The work consists of two basic parts. The theoretical part contains all records concerning security within the prison service. The current prison service has to do with lots of problems such as overcrowded prisons, low prisoners´ employment, unsuitable premises, insufficient hardware and unsatisfactory professional and personal qualities of prison staff. The practical part describes the realised qualitative research method, a semi-structured interview. Representatives of general public, prison service staff and prisoners were . interviewed with the aim to find out details of penitentiary security. This work has been a probe into the penology problem. The findings and conclusions can serve as a basis for further more detailed and extended investigation in the Czech Republic as a whole.
