Summary/Abstract: Imprisonment as a sanction is known to every class society. The essential meaning of its existence was justified with the action of keeping criminals safe until the day that they will be publicly executed. Years later, imprisonment got repressive and retributive elements keeping inmates far away from their communities, for a long period of time. Today this sanction kept its retributive side, but also got another, preventive one, changing its dimension into a contradictory one.
