New possibilities in the field of resocialisation and education of convicts
Bareš, Jindřich ; Veteška, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Kříž, Jaroslav (referee)
The thesis deals with new possibilities and approaches in the field of education and resocialization of individuals in prison. The process of treatment of prisoners in the prison system is carried out by systematic and professional methods of treatment. At present, according to the current strategic document, the Concept of the Prison System until 2025, the main focus is on education and employment of persons in prison. The issue of resocialisation and further education of convicts is developed within the framework of social andragogy. The theoretical part will analyse the possibilities of using andragogical, social and social andragogical counselling in imprisonment. The sub-objective of the thesis is to characterize the individual stages of the counselling process and to define its contribution to the reintegration of convicts. New methods and their use in the framework of further education and resocialization of convicts will be observed within the research. This is especially the concept of an open prison, which is quite unique in the Czech Republic and is implemented within the Jiřice prison. It is based on trust between convicts and the staff of the Prison Service of the Czech Republic. It is currently considered an effective model of penitentiary care, which includes elements of...

Temporary release from prison or provision of escort for urgent family reasons as part of the right to respect for private and family life of detained persons
Drahorád, Jakub ; Řepa, Karel (advisor) ; Suchánek, Radovan (referee)
Temporary release from prison or provision of escort for urgent family reasons as part of the right to respect for private and family life of detained persons The thesis deals with the issue of exercising the right to respect for private and family life by persons deprived of personal liberty due to detention or imprisonment in the form of the possibility to temporarily leave prison space, accompanied by an escort or alone, for serious family reasons. By these the thesis means attending the funeral of a close relative or the possibility to visit them in the hospital while suffering from a life-threatening condition. While in the case of persons remanded in custody, this issue is not regulated in any way by legal or secondary legislation, in the case of persons serving a custodial sentence in prisons with increased security or for life, it is partially explicitly prohibited. In practice, therefore, these persons are barred from exercising their right under Article 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. In the case of persons in the "regular mode" of serving a prison sentence, the execution of this right is dependent on the discretion of the prison director, who does not have to justify his informal decision to suspend the sentence, which is not...

Imposing Punishments in Czech and Polish Legislations
Pustówka, Urszula ; Vokoun, Rudolf (referee)
Imposing Punishments in Czech and Polish Legislations Abstract The comparison of the legal systems of individual states is an important source of inspiration for the further development of legislation. In my work I compare the legal regulation of punishments in the Czech Republic and in Poland, namely those of them which both Czech and Polish legal systems refer to as punishments. These are Czech fines, community service, imprisonment, and an exceptional sentence together with their Polish equivalents. The aim of the thesis is to find inspiration and stimuli for de lege ferenda considerations for further development of Czech criminal law by comparing Czech and Polish regulation of punishments, as well as the types of punishments most often imposed by courts in both countries. In the first part of the work I deal with the systems of criminal sanctions in both states in order to introduce the context for the subsequently analysed punishments. Furthermore, each part is devoted to one type of punishment and a comparison of its regulation in the Czech Republic and Poland. The second part is devoted to the Czech fine and the Polish sentence of grzywna, the third part to the Czech community service and the Polish sentence of imprisonment, the fourth part is related to the regulation of imprisonment, and the fifth...

Dealing with the guilt of persons serving a sentence.
Doskočilová, Veronika ; Fošum, Jan (advisor) ; Mohelník, Tomáš (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the ethical topic of guilt and its processing in persons serving a sentence. The paper elaborates with the topic of guilt on a practical and theoretical level. The theoretical framework deals with concepts related to guilt (morality, good, evil, conscience, sin), then presents the concept of guilt and the possibilities of its processing. Based on the description of the theory, the theoretical part formulates questions, which are used in the practical part. It describes three case studies of persons serving a sentence. The research is devoted to their individual perception of guilt and subsequently to ways of coping with it. Special attention is paid to Christianity and its influence on the perception of guilt, as two persons believe in God. Research shows that guilt is a fundamental issue for people in prison, whether it is in its negative or positive manifestations. The research confirms the fundamental theoretical starting point that there is a line from the negative effect of guilt to its positive contribution. As all three convicts confirm, guilt is the path to awareness, acceptance, and finally to the correction. Although there are many ways how to deal with guilt, the key is willingness to be opened to cope with guilt. Though there are a number of shortcomings in...

Social dilemmas of resocialization of conditionally released
LIDOVÁ, Štěpánka
The diploma thesis deals with dilemmatic situations, which are solved by conditionally released individuals. It is primarily aimed at gaining and retaining employment and the resulting dilemma. The first part deals with the theoretical description of the process of reintegration of prisoners, the factor of work in the prison and the activities of the Probation and Mediation Service during parole. The next part of the work focuses on employment, reintegration tools and the dilemmatic situation of parole prisoners. In order to describe the dilemmatic situations that the target group experiences during the acquisition of the work, these were conducted in a sample of three informants as part of the survey using semi-structured interviews. As a result, several major dilemma situations have arisen. Quotations from interviews with informants are reflected in the work findings from the literature dealing with the issue of employment of people after serving a sentence of imprisonment. In the past, many researches have described dilemmas and dilemmatic situations that a probation officer or other parole worker. However, this work aims to point out the dilemmas that specifically address conditional release.
