Summary/Abstract: The national administration of Romania’s Penitentiaries is the public administration authority dealing with the application of the detention system and insurance of the psychosocial intervention with recuperative purpose for persons deprived of liberty, in contexts which guarantee compliance with human dignity, thus facilitating the rehabilitation and reintegration into society of individuals who served a prison sentence, contributing to the enhancement of community safety, maintaining public order and national security. One of the main tasks of the National Administration of Penitentiaries is to ensure the safety of prisons. In order to fulfill its rehabilitation role, the penitentiary system must firstly be a safe place for both persons in detention and employees, as well as for any other persons who come into contact with it. The security of prisons includes providing the resources necessary for supervising, escorting, and identifying ways to prevent and reduce incidents. The insurance of detention conditions in accordance with the international standards as well as maintaining a healthy environment for detainees is at the same time, a prerequisite for the exercise of all fundamental rights of inmates. These issues listed above are just a few of the defining elements of a modern penitentiary system, towards which the National Administration of Prisons in Romania strives for, through the implementation of the project regarding the development strategy for the period 2010-2013.
