Faculty of Theology. Department of Social and Charity Work, Head of thesis PhDr. Jaroslav HÁLA. This bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of summer children's camps for children of incarcerated parents in the practice of the international prison community.

The thesis is based on an analysis of literature and relevant documents, as well as primary research conducted through interviews with camp organizers and other stakeholders. The findings suggest that administrative difficulties on the part of families and lack of funding are key challenges to be faced. Suggested actions include improving communication with families, providing financial support and support from government institutions. The results of this work may contribute to a better understanding and optimization of the process of establishing and operating summer children's camps for children of incarcerated parents, which may lead to enhanced support and care for these children in challenging life situations.

Impacts on men's mental health when limiting their personal freedom- from the perspective of people working with this target group
KROPÍKOVÁ, Markéta
The diploma thesis deals with the impact on men's mental health when personal freedom is restricted from the point of view of people working with this target group. It is based on the results of the research "Psychological aspects of the consequences of criminal activity in convicted men serving a prison sentence" from 2019, conducted by Mgr. Marie Ouředníková. This work thus shows a view of life in custody or prison from the other side of the bars. It thus reveals the rules that prevail here among men who face the strict regime of the prison every day, but also the internal hierarchy itself. Such an environment subsequently negatively affects the mental health of the men who have to deal with it, in different ways. The diploma thesis reflects these impacts and thus gives a comprehensive view of the mentioned issue. It also has up-to-date research and statistics pointing to current events in such an environment, such as institutions restricting personal freedom. The diploma thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. In the practical part, there is a description of the research methodology itself, followed by Ouředníková's reflected results with the opinions of people with professional experience in this practice.

The influence of leisure activities on the resocialization of convicted persons
HULÁK, Pavel
The Bachelor thesis is focusing on the function and influence of freetime activities during resocialization of convicted man in Remand prison in Ceske Budejovice. The theoretical part of the thesis describes not just socialization and resocialization concepts but also deals with phenomenon of execution of the sentence. The key part of the thesis deals with the freetime activities itself. We are interested in their creation, nature but especially of these activities during the execution of the sentence in use. This is closely related to specific description of activities of individual professional employees who include convicted man into freetime activities. There were answered four research questions using the quantitative approach in this empiric part of the thesis. As data collection method, I used the questionnaire. The results show that the convicted men get willingly involved in the freetime activities however the benefit of freetime activities in the convicted men's life are questionable.
