Summary/Abstract: In criminological and penological theory and practice, prisoners who represent a threat or a real source of danger for other prisoners, employees and themselves are considered high-risk. Under danger is understood both the endangering of physical integrity and existence as well as the assumption of escape, destruction of inventory, attacks on visitors and convicts who for any reason pose a risk to the community after serving their sentence. Very often in treatment programs, work with high-risk convicts is based solely on the security aspect, on guarding and preventing escape, self-harm and attacks on another person. It is precisely for this reason and the aim of this paper is to point out the complexity of working with this category of prisoners, as well as the operational procedures that are important during serving a prison sentence.
