Prison spiritual care
CHARYPAROVÁ, Ludmila
The aim of the diploma thesis was to analyze the availability of prison spiritual care in prisons, detention prisons and detention facilities in the Czech Republic and also description of the Prison spiritual service, the possibilities of using this service and the most frequent problems connected with it. The theoretical part describes an introduction to the problems of the Czech prison system and spiritual care in prison facilities in the Czech Republic. In the area of providing spiritual support in the Czech Republic there are a Prison spiritual service performed by prison chaplains, Prison voluntary care provided trained volunteers in this area and a Prison Fellowship International.The practical part of the thesis was done by means of a questionnaire survey, which was used to map out the availability of prison spiritual care. There participated prison chaplains, the public, and some members of the prison voluntary care as respondents in this research. The aim of the thesis was achieved with the help of obtaining information in the theoretical part of the thesis, but also thanks to the questionnaire research from the practical part. From questionnaire research and from analysis of available sources, I came to the conclusion that the availability of Prison spiritual service in the Czech Republic is not sufficient because it is not provided in all prison facilities. If convicted or accused persons were interested in this service in facilities where it is not provided, they do not have the opportunity to reach it. The results show that if the number of prison chaplains continues to, the availability of spiritual care in prisons and detention prisons in the Czech Republic would be better, and then it would be possible to provide it even in those facilities, where it is not available now. The second questionnaire survey revealed that the public does not have enough information about the prison spiritual service. Half of the respondents said, that they mostly did not hear about prison spiritual service, but still they thought it was necessary, so it would be good to give the public more information about this problems, for example, using regional newspapers or regional television stations.
