Summary/Abstract: With the reform of the justice system in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the situation in penitentiary institutions in BiH is much better than before. These improvements are first of all reflected in the improvement of the conditions of serving a prison sentence. The overbooking of prisons is no longer the biggest problem, because due to migration and population outflow, the coronavirus pandemic, the lack of labor and easier access to work, the number of convicted persons is also decreasing, and the current situation in all penal correctional institutions in terms of capacity is satisfactory. However, in order for the penitentiary system to be as efficient as possible, it is necessary to pay much more attention to the process of resocialization of convicted persons, in order to reducethe rate of recidivism.
