Hořejší, Šárka ; Veteška, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Kříž, Jaroslav (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the issue of education of people serving a prison term. Education represents the key tool of resocialization, i.e. a specialist work with convicts. The first part of the thesis is going to devote attention to resocialization and to the subsequent education of convicts in terms of prevention as well as in terms of the atonement by means of the integrative tools. Within the scope of the execution of the prison sentence, education is an essential part of the treatment programs, which are oriented to create the preconditions for an independent way of life. The theoretical part is also going to focus on the legislative embedding of education of convicts in the Czech Republic and the best practice from abroad.

It describes their connection with the motivation of convicts for further education. KEYWORDS imprisonment, resocialization of convicts, factors of...

Prokopová, Hana ; Veteška, Jaroslav (referee)
The aim of the rigorous work is to identify and characterize the innovative concept of penitentiary care applied in the treatment of convicted men in the building Open Prison in Jiřice. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of elements of innovation at the architectural level (modification of outdoor spaces "Open Prison", specific accommodation for convicts, construction of a breeding zone, cultivation zone, ornamental gardens) and at the socio-psychological level. This is reflected in the professional work and application of specifically focused activities of the treatment program. It is based on a higher degree of professional intervention in terms of the application of the method of "accompaniment" and "case management", an open approach of employees in a mutually constructive, supportive communication with convicts. In the practical part, a qualitative survey will be used, which will aim to compare selected areas of activities of the program of treatment of convicts included in the execution of imprisonment in a ward with a medium level of security and a low level of security. Case studies were chosen as the research method. The intention is to find out whether the applied foreign trends of penitentiary care in Open Prison in Jiřice correspond to the needs of convicts in terms of the overall...

The thesis aims to describe and analyze the process of professional treatment with emphasis on reducing criminogenic risks with convicted men placed into guarded prisons in section with a high level of security. Convicted criminals show diverse degrees of riskiness and different structures of criminogenic factors. In order for the Prison Service of Czech Republic to work with them effectively, it needs to know their criminological profile.

Sentence od Life Imprisonment
PEČENKOVÁ, Kateřina
Life imprisonment presents the most severe penalty that can be imposed according to the Czech legislation. It belongs to the system of capital punishments and the extreme severity of its imposition is subject to the legislator himself. In the Czech Republic, the imposition of life imprisonment is a unique phenomenon. A meticulous attention should be thereby paid to its legislation, which is exceptionally complex in the Czech Republic. It is equally important to provide persons who are serving the term of life imprisonment with social services, aid and a social worker, who plays one of the most important roles in the life of the convicted. The social worker enables the convicted to communicate with the social environment outside the penitentiary, to communicate with public administration bodies and, in addition, he provides the convicted with follow-up social services after his/her release or while serving the term. These services aim at the quality improvement of the life of the convicted. This bachelor thesis presents a document that may serve future social workers in the prison service as a supplementary material to their studies and work. It includes the overview of important information that the specific social worker should know and subsequently develop. This thesis encompasses the legislation of both - life imprisonment and social work and associated rights and duties. Moreover, this thesis defines specific terms that the social worker should know and understand - the treatment of prisoners and treatment programmes in particular. The thesis followed the method of document analysis, the analysis of laws, judicature, scholarly journals and books. It synthetises pieces of information that are necessary for a social worker to know and understand. The legislation of life imprisonment is carefully drafted in the Czech Republic, which tremendously helped me with dealing with related laws and regulations. 7 On the other hand, what surprised me was a lack of documents related to the legislation governing the social work in the prison service. In my opinion, this lack of documents in the designated area needs to be completed.

Psychological aspects of the consequences of criminal activity in convicted men serving imprisonment
OUŘEDNÍKOVÁ, Marie
The aim of the diploma thesis is to describe the consequences of imprisonment from a psychological point of view and to compare it with the testimonies of convicts. Every convicted person who gets into a prison is exposed to psychological problems associated with imprisonment. These problems can be associated not only with pleading guilty and accepting a sentence connected with a commited crime but also with, a transition from civil life to life in prison, adaptating to life in prison, dealing with restriction of freedom and restrictions of contact with their loved ones and so on. The thesis has a theoretical part divided into three chapters, where data has been added from transcripts of interviews with four sentenced men. The first chapter focuses on the characteristics of serving imprisonment, including the functions and the purpose of imprisonment and on penitentiary psychology. The second chapter describes the adaptation of prisoners to imprisonment in view of the length and frequency of imprisonment as well as the personality of the convicted person. The third chapter focuses on the psychological aspects of imprisonment (the second life of prisoners, aggression, bullying, suicide, self-harm, abuse and use of narcotic and psychotropic substances, limiting social contacts). The aim of the diploma thesis is to describe the consequences of imprisonment from a psychological point of view and to compare it with data from interviews with sentenced persons.
