'is article draws attention to solutions aimed at supporting convicts a(er they serve their time in prison.

In theory it can be assumed that the resocialization process carried out in a penitentiary should be e+ective enough for the person leaving this institution to be prepared to live in a free environment and function in accordance with social, moral and legal norms. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. 'e concrete evidence and statistical data indicate a signi)cant number of persons relapsing into crime.
