Overcrowding of Serbian Prisons – Problems and Possible Consequences
Keywords:
overcrowding, prisons, prisoners, consequencesAbstract
The phenomenon of overcrowding of prisons in the world, as well as in Serbia, is becoming more and more visible since the seventies of the last century, even though statistical evidence does not show an increase in crime rates. This problem, however, is growing up with prison riots as one of the possible consequences. But when riots really happen, we all try to answer why they did, instead of answering the question of how to prevent them. This article, however, does not have pretensions to answer all of the questions connected to the considered problem, but it should give the answers to the most important of them.
