Abstract

The apply of treatments in prisons represent one of many important themes of penologists in couple of last decades. Beside inchoate optimism about great reach of treatments in preventing criminality, in the 80is of a 20th century, the discussions about interpretation of the effects of treatments and their real range envolved. A great number of a repeaters amongst executants of a criminal act, over 60% represent a serious argument to the exponents, conduce that the treatments being applied in prisons today don’t give expected results. In this research, on the example of 412 convicts, I have explored aspects that are being used in working with convicts which are doing their penalty in opened type of prisons. I have researched the contents of examination of personality and classification of convicts, the types and magnitude of pedagogic work, educational commitment, and the bulk of convenience. I have also examined the attitude of a convict towards the treatment and the staff (therapists) that are realizing the treatment.
