The research part consists of qualitative research using the method of open-questioned structured interviews that are then being used to analyse interviews with the workers of Probation and Mediation Services in South Bohemia, Prague, and Hradec Králové. Via research, it was found out that the workers of Probation and Mediation services understand the following things to be problematic: great amount of administrative work, no respect for certain recommendations meant for the courthouse, and employing prisoners. Simultaneously, it was found out that those on conditional release do not perceive any relevant problem when cooperating with Probation and Mediation Services. Based on these results, solutions and recommendations have been designed for the purposes of probation officers´ work in the future, the application of which should make some work easier for the officers. Further, some solutions have been designed to problems in employing individuals on conditional release. These solutions include simplifying administration, greater respect towards probation officers from the courthouse´s side as well as greater awareness of potential employers of individuals on conditional release.

Mádlová, Adéla ; Gabrhelíková, Pavlína (advisor) ; Svoboda, Martin (referee)
Background: Penitentiary care for clients with addictology issues is still an insufficiently discussed topic. Especially if we emphasize that a significant number of clients, ie users of addictive substances (especially illegal ones) have experience in serving a custodial sentence. The fact that more attention needs to be paid to the care of users of illegal addictive substances in prisons was confirmed by the Prison Service of the Czech Republic by creating a position for addictologists in prisons in 2018, following a successful pilot project. Targets: The core of the final work are case studies with the aim of examining the issue of matching needs in individual addictology services offered by Bělušice Prison. Given the prison's limited capacity to provide addictology services, also answer the question of whether the programs and interventions provided are sufficient or whether the possibility of setting up or amending one of the intervention programs could not be considered in the future. Research group: The research method of the case study was used for the clinical part of the final diploma thesis. The method of long-term observation and the study of available documentation were used to obtain information. Reduction and organization of information was used for data analysis, ie content analyzes...
