Summary/Abstract: Deprivation is a phenomenon that is expressed in the prison system and that often negatively affects the overall resocialization of convicted persons. It makes serving a prison sentence difficult and often has a negative impact on the prisoner's adaptation. Deprivations are an indispensable part of the psychological atmosphere of penal and correctional institutions. They occur automatically with the deprivation of freedom, because by this very act, the status of a free man, a normal member of society, is lost, and it passes into another - specific, convict status. Deprivation often impairs mental health, but also the acceptance of punishment and treatment by convicted persons. Precisely for these reasons, in this paper we will deal with some of the most well-known types of deprivation and their negative effects on the personality of the convict.
