Od systemu celkowego do systemu dozoru elektronicznego. Zmiany w sposobie wykonywania kary pozbawienia wolności
2020
The evolution of the methods for execution of the custodial penalty demonstrates changes in the treatment of convicts. In the historically oldest systems, the aspect of subjectivity of convicts was completely omitted in favour of their complete isolation (objectification), which resulted in the lack of corrective effects. It was only later that the system of progression in its various forms was adopted, which allowed strengthening of the convicts’ position by appreciation of their work and education as well as gradual mitigation of the effects of prison isolation. Finally, the concept of executing a penalty outside the prison in the electronic surveillance system was adopted, which departed…
Comparing deep‐end confinement in England & Wales and Norway
2022
Extreme forms of custody represent the boundary points of state power. The configuration of the most restrictive corners of prison systems, and what goes on within them, is highly instructive in exposing the objectives, limits, and implications of state coercion at its most severe. Based on data collected in England & Wales and Norway, this article has two main aims. The first is to explore the degree to which “deep-end” confinement differs between jurisdictions with different penal philosophies. The second is to understand how the most extreme form of confinement in each jurisdiction differs from the more typical carceral experiences within each system and its overall penal ethos. Empirica…
The freedom of conscience and religion of particularly dangerous offenders (Article 88a and 88b of the Executive Penal Code)
2020
Wolność sumienia i religii należy do katalogu podstawowych praw człowieka. Jednak realizacja związanych z tym uprawnień w przypadku skazanych niebezpiecznych została ograniczona przez konieczność ich wykonywania w warunkach oddziału, w pomieszczeniach o wysokim stopniu zabezpieczenia ochronnego. Również kontakt skazanych niebezpiecznych z innymi osobami (w tym także duchownym) ograniczono w sposób maksymalny. Ustawodawca uznał, że stosowanie ograniczeń w realizacji uprawnień sprawców szczególnie niebezpiecznych jest potrzebne do zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa zakładu karnego. Jednak wprowadzone obostrzenia można także uznać za element nieludzkiego traktowania, zwłaszcza wówczas, gdy ich stosowa…
Eine Kurzversion des Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-25-F) zum Einsatz bei Gefangenen im Langzeitstrafvollzug in Europa
2014
Strafgefangene sind im Vergleich zur Allgemeinbevölkerung deutlich höher psychisch belastet und stärker suizidgefährdet. Die forensisch-psychologische Diagnostik kann jedoch zumeist nicht auf validierte Testverfahren zurückgreifen. Das kann negative Konsequenzen für Interventionen und somit für das Rückfallrisiko von Straftätern haben. Die vorliegende Studie extrahiert aus dem Brief Symptom Inventory 53 (BSI-53), das bei 1001 Langzeitstrafgefangenen (Mindestfreiheitsentzug 5 Jahre) in 11 europäischen Ländern eingesetzt wurde, eine Kurzversion mit 25 Items. Die vier Skalen Einsamkeit/Depressivität, Körperliche Beschwerden, Selbstwert/Minderwertigkeit und Herausforderndes Verhalten/Aggressiv…
Nessuna speranza senza collaborazione per i condannati all’ergastolo ostativo? Un primo commento a Viola c. Italia (n. 2)
2019
The paper deals with a recent judgment delivered by the European Court of Human Rights dealing with the compatibility of the Italian "ergastolo ostativo" (life imprisonment without parole) with Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
A New Technique for Implementing ECtHR Judgments: Will It Work? The Corte Costituzionale “Urges” the Houses to Reform the Ergastolo Ostativo
2021
In this much-awaited ruling (Order No. 97 of 15 April 2021), the Corte Costituzionale had to decide on the constitutionality of the existing prohibition on release on parole for life prisoners convicted for Mafia-related crimes, in the absence of any cooperation with justice (ergastolo ostativo). This form of life imprisonment without prospect of release had already been deemed in contrast with Article 3 of the European Convention of Human Rights (echr) in the judgment rendered by the Strasbourg Court in Viola v. Italy (No. 2): on that occasion, the ECtHR invoked a legislative reform of the ergastolo ostativo. In the order at hand, the Corte Costituzionale, instead of formally declaring the…
Comentario a la crónica del miliciano Orwell
2013
En estas paginas tratare de acercarme a la tragica experiencia del combate, siguiendo principalmente el texto Cataluna 1937, en el que Orwell narra su paso por la milicia armada del POUM en el frente de Aragon, su participacion en los Hechos de Mayo, la represion y encarcelamiento de los dirigentes trotskistas y su penosa salida del territorio republicano. In these pages I will try to approach the tragic experience of combat, mainly following the text Homage to Catalonia, in which Orwell narrates his way through the armed militia of the POUM in the Aragon Front, his participation in the Barcelona May Days, the repression and imprisonment of the Trotskyist leaders and his painful departure o…
Deporte entre rejas. ¿Algo más que control social?
2009
Sport practices belong to the prison’s landscape. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge about the role they play in prisons ordinary life. Therefore, we developed an ethnographic study, mainly located in the sports hall of a Spanish prison, to understand exercise and sport meanings among inmates, workers, educators and monitors. Data indicate that social rehabilitation through sport is an illusion, although it is the official goal of imprisonment. Even so, participants assign different benefits to exercise and sport, especially inmates. Educative potential of self-control through sport and, mainly, distraction and compensation strategy to cope with boredom, time and confinement’s physi…
The Predictive Properties of Psychiatric Diagnoses, Dynamic Risk and Dynamic Risk Change Assessed by the VRS-SO in Forensically Admitted and Released…
2020
Psychiatric diagnoses, static risk factors and criminogenic needs at time of admission and release were examined in a mentally ill sample of psychiatrically detained sexual offenders. Although clinically found to be at low or even very low risk at discharge, 12% reoffended sexually over an average follow up of 7 years. Psychotic disorders were present in only 5% of offenders, whereas 93% had a personality disorder diagnosis and 76%, a paraphilic disorder diagnosis. Only exhibitionism and alcohol misuse were associated with relapse. Static risk factors captured by the Static-99 also did not significantly predict recidivism; however, the VRS-SO – a structured risk assessment tool that assesse…

2017
Darba nosaukums ir „Ieslodzījums kā biogrāfiskais pārrāvums”. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir noskaidrot kā atrašanās ieslodzījumā ietekmējusi cilvēku dzīvi, kas mainījies viņu dzīvē ieslodzījuma laikā un pēc atrašanās ieslodzījumā. Darbā izvirzītie pētnieciskie jautājumi: 1) Ar kādām grūtībām un izaicinājumiem ieslodzītie saskaras atrodoties ieslodzījumā; 2)Kā būtu vieglāk pārdzīvot ieslodzījuma negatīvo ietekmi atrodoties cietumā; 3)Kas būtu nepieciešams, lai pēc ieslodzījuma vieglāk būtu atgriezties sabiedrībā; 4)Kā mainās cilvēka dzīve pēc atrašanās ieslodzījumā. Pētījumā tiek izmantota biogrāfiskā pieeja un naratīva analīze. Kā metode tiek izmantotas padziļinātās intervijas. Autore secina, k…
