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.

Smutná, Kateřina ; Kotlík, Kamil (advisor) ; Pavlová, Ilona (referee)
Title: The impact of physical activity on the quality of life of persons serving a term of imprisonment Aims: The main aim of this thesis is to detect, if the health-oriented fitness and the level of quality of life of persons serving a term of imprisonment increases after ten weeks of a regular exercise. Another aim is to find out, if the results of the observed aspects of persons who did take part in the exercise programme will be much different from those who did not. Methods: This is an empiric-theoretical research thesis. Four ensembles took part in this quantitative research. The ensembles I. (N=5) and II. (N=7) filled out a self- designed questionnaire about quality of life and were tested for health-oriented fitness with the Fitnessgram test battery. The partial motor tests evaluate endurance, muscle strength and flexibility. This measurement was hold before and after a ten weeks long organized exercise program. The ensembles III. (N=15) and IV. (N=15) only filled out the questionnaire of quality of life twice, in the same period as the ensembles I. and II. Results: The results showed a positive impact of regular physical activity on the physical condition of the participants, because most of them improved their health- oriented fitness. Alongside the higher value of the quality of life in...

Restrictions on personal freedom in theory and practice
Pouska, Tomáš ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (advisor) ; Vokoun, Rudolf (referee)
1 Restrictions on personal freedom in theory and practice Abstract The subject of this rigorous thesis is the connection of the theoretical and practical concept of permissible interference with the personal freedom of an individual in criminal proceedings, with an emphasis on the protection of the fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned. The basis of the thesis is the description and more detailed definition of some specific institutes of criminal law, in the form of detention, arrest, detention and imprisonment, which seriously interfere with personal freedom and are directly connected with the imprisonment of persons. The rigorous thesis compares and analyzes the legal embedding of the above- mentioned criminal law instruments at the national and international level with their application in real life practice and points out some fundamental differences that occur when they are used by law enforcement authorities. Attention is primarily paid to the degree of compliance with the guarantees of permissible interference with personal freedom by public authorities, the legitimacy of individual interference and also their adequacy and proportionality in relation to the goal pursued by these means. The rigorous work examines whether these criminal law institutes are applied rationally, whether...

Constitutional Aspects of Imprisonment Focusing on the Protection of Family Life
Bohuslavová, Adéla ; Hofmannová, Helena (advisor) ; Suchánek, Radovan (referee)
68 Constitutional Aspects of Imprisonment Focusing on the Protection of Family Life Abstract This thesis aim is to analyze some constitutional aspects of imprisonment relating to the fundamental rights and freedoms of convicts. The thesis is divided into two parts - the general part and the special part, which is aimed specifically at protecting family life. The general part theoretically deals with the definition of the meaning and purpose of imprisonment and its execution, the status of convicts as holders of fundamental rights and freedoms, constitutional limits of restrictions on their fundamental rights and freedoms, and the means of their judicial and other legal protection. Except for the third chapter dealing with the role of protection of family life when imposing a prison sentence, the special part focuses on the protection of family life during the period of imprisonment. It discusses the issue of placement and relocation of convicted parents, interventions in parental responsibility associated with the imposition of imprisonment, and analyzes specific institutes for protection of family life (such as visits, written and telephone communication, postponement or suspension of sentence, stay of the child with the mother in prison). The special part concludes with an overall evaluation of the...

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?
