Iron hand in a velvet glove
Briestenská, Monika ; Hýlová, Adéla (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
Annotation What is a prison? What is its meaning or role? What does prison mean in the context of architecture? How did prisons develop and how did these changes relate to the development of society? And should prisons not exist at all? Prison is a very controversial topic, but it still affects the lives of many people. Former convicts face prejudice and social barriers and often relapse, which we should try to prevent. The work discusses the relationship of architecture to the correction and reintegration of convicts. The architecture of the prison should respond to the tendencies that have proved effective, follow them and together with them form the most effective correctional facility. It can be seen that the course of prison designing is moving towards a more open, smaller and more friendly space. Correctional programs in open prisons work with convicts on the basis of contact with the outside world, reintegration, through work, retraining and educational programs, where architecture has a significant impact, as it maximizes the chances of convicts to be rehabilitated and is inscribed into their lives. During the work on this project, a proposal for an open prison in Olomouc was created, which considers the stages of the correction of convicts and reflects the routine of everyday life outside prison. It uses movement to break the monotony of prisoners' recurring days.

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...

A Comparison of Prisoners' Voting Rights Legislation in Europe
Rozman, Jakub ; Stauber, Jakub (advisor) ; Čapek, Jakub (referee)
This work illustrates, in both theoretical and practical terms, the tension between the standard of democratic establishment in the form of universal suffrage and, on the other hand, the exclusion of certain groups, in this case prisoners, from the electoral process. The right to free choice is the essence of a democratic society, and any limitation to it naturally raises questions seeking appropriate justification. While the weight of an individual's voice throughout society is insignificant, and only in rare cases can an individual or a small group influence the final outcome, the right to vote also serves another function - it is a symbol of a person's status in society as a citizen. The restrictive notion of prisoners' suffrage has its roots in the antiquated concept of "civil death" and typically makes a counterfactual argument. But society has gradually undergone fundamental changes, and modern justifications are being demanded. Legal punishment is the natural implication of committing a crime, but what must a person commit in order to have his or her citizenship temporarily or forever diminished in liberal democracies that espouse values such as equality, inclusiveness, and the right to self- determination?
