Spiritual Ministry in Czech Prisons
HRUŠKOVÁ, Hana
This paper deals with Christian spiritual ministry offered to accused and convicted prisoners in the prisons in the Czech Republic. First the paper treats the up to date penology trends and penitentiary systems in the Euro American realm and the system in the Czech Republic in detail. The second part is focused on the non-governmental organisation Vězeňská duchovenská péče (Penitentiary spiritual solicitude), the prison chaplains, ecumenicity and relations between the prison staff and the clergymen. The following chapter is based on interviews with experienced prison chaplains, their opinions concerning the contemporary conditions in prisons and services offered to the prisoners. It is obvious, that the clergyman cannot be substituted in his task by any other professional among the prison staff. A clergyman is often the last one who can see any hope in cases where the other specialists have already given up. He can work with the accepting of guilt and searching for values very well. The future of the ministerial services in the prisons in the Czech Republic depends on the active and supportive cooperation with the Penitentiary Service of the Czech Republic and ecumenical openness.
Women in the Prison Service of the Czech Republic
DUCHKOVÁ, Helena
The Prison Service of the Czech Republic has passed through a period of transition from the totalitarian conception of punishment and detention to a humanitarian one. The chief goal of the new philosophy of treating prisoners is to reach a positive change in the behaviour of a convicted person, so that he/she will be capable of living in compliance with the laws of this country in the future.Within the framework of this transformation the proportion of expert workers in the Prison Service of the Czech Republic increases,these expert workes being not only men, but women too. This degree work inquires into the role of women in the Czech penal system and provides answers to affrairs related to this aspect. The primary goal was the monitoring of women working in individual prisons and inquiry into their working risks and contributions. The authoress chose a combination of qualitative and quantitative research in order to verify hypotheses.
