The Socio-psychological Repercussions of the Environment of Deprivation of Liberty

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the socio-psychological effects of the penitentiary environment. Thus, the author mentions that in the conditions of social isolation, the human personality is influenced by different psychogenic factors which lead to neurotic reactions, suicide attempts, mental disorders, and other similar issues. By affecting the entire personality and leaving its imprint on the behaviour, the lack of freedom deeply marks the life of individuals and their social relations. In this context, it is pointed out that better collaboration between the penitentiary system and other state institutions would certainly support an easier social reintegration of persons who have served sentences of deprivation of liberty.
