Treatment of Convicts in the Rehabilitation Process – International Standards

Summary/Abstract: Adequate organization, both of the educational and the work process, is a prerequisite for the success of the effects of treatment in the process of resocialization of convicts. The survey data shows that 58% of convicts are involved in some of the work processes, and that 42% of convicts are out of work at the institute. Also, of the 200 convicts, 55 of them have only eight-year school, or do not have a full primary school, 118 have completed high school, and 27 convicts have higher or higher school qualifications. The decline of man's physical abilities is a consequence of the reduced need for movement, which can be compensated only by daily exercise and the adoption and maintenance of hygiene habits, a healthy diet, fostering a humane relationship between people, a better and more successful life. According to the data, although there is a will for recreation, there is no condition. Thus, in the Correctional Institution for Women in a semi-open and open department, on a sample of 100 respondents, 31 of them declared that sports and recreational activities do not take place, as well as in the closed department, out of 100 of them, 69 declared that there are no adequate conditions for recreation. Recreation may not attract the attention of every prisoner, the research concludes, but they give a strong emphasis on the individualization of the individual's various forms of interest. Together with other innovative approaches – as a role in promoting renunciation by motivating, engaging and inspiring individuals, as well as promoting meaningful and constructive therapeutic connections and support opportunities, recreational sport can be used as a platform to facilitate other innovative prison-based programs.
