Summary/Abstract: Life imprisonment without the right to apply for conditional early release (parole) is not a common institution in many legal systems. The view that social rehabilitation measures carried out during incarceration are devoid of scientific grounds and should be questioned almost immediately induced a discussion on the need to tighten criminal policy. The arguments raised during its course were overly simplistic and widely used in the political debate of the time. There is no doubt that the motivations used to justify the repressive, retaliatory purpose imprisonment as a form of punishment generally gain greater public approval than those underline the fact the primary goal of prison sentences should be to create such conditions of the penalty should be to create conditions enabling the correction of the convict while serving the sentence.
