The effects of imprisonment on behavior of convicted offenders
PROCHÁZKOVÁ, Andrea
Abstract The title of my thesis is {\clqq}The effects of imprisonment on behaviour of convicted offenders``. In my opinion this is a challenging issue, not spoken about enough in the public. Since 1989 the pathological, anti-social and deviant behaviour in our fellow citizens has enhanced. It is one of phenomena of the democratization of our country. The number of offenders convicted to imprisonment has been increasing. My thesis is composed of two main sections. The objective of the theoretical section is to give information on life conditions in prisons, the rights and duties of prisoners which are both statutory and stated by the internal regulation of the particular prison. First of all I mention effects of imprisonment on a person serving a sentence{--} his/her social status, family relations, mental balance and possible recidivism. The important component forming the prisoners´ attitudes are ideas and approach of social workers and psychologists who have long-time experience in treating prisoners. Their view of life conditions, prisoners´s readiness for the return into society and resocialization are very interesting. In the practical section of my thesis I demonstrate the effects of imprisonment. I used the questionnaire method. Questionnaires were handed out to prisoners, they themselves answered a series of questions in which they expressed their own opinions and described how imprisonment influenced their lives. The research shows that consequences are fatal in many cases. In my opinion alterations in the prison system are necessary. Improved life conditions and an effective social system would contribute to the effectiveness of imprisonment.
