Security of convicted women in penitentiary units

Summary/Abstract: Security is one of the most important needs that a person has to meet. This hasbeen well reflected in A Maslov’s theory of hierarchy of needs. The term “security” itself isdefined in the field of security studies. The term Human Security refers to the security levelof each person. It is in this respect that it can be considered in social sciences, including atthe social rehabilitation level.Therefore, security concerns issues such as: socialization, social control, which directly affectthe process of changes made during the period of imprisonment. Own research on thesense of security among women staying in prison breaks away from the common stereotypethat acts of violence are common in penitentiary institutions. For many women, this is thefirst time that such a sensation has occurred, which is associated with the deprivation ofthis need in everyday life. Reinforcing the sense of security in the institutions by educating,motivating and controlling prison guards results in the fact that the process of social rehabilitation(in some cases socialization) leads to the emergence of a need for security amongwomen serving prison sentences. The presented approach to the issues raised takes place inthe field of social rehabilitation studies, although in many cases it uses terms derived fromsecurity studies.
