Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the measures applied in accomplishing the objectives of criminal punishment. The authors draw attention to the fact that retribution is objectively inherent to the content of any measure applied in criminal law and that it actually reflects all the correctional measures which are applied in the process of execution of a criminal punishment (including: the regime of serving the sentence, occupational therapy, professional education/training, educational measures and wider social involvement measures. The authors also emphasize that the prisoners’ treatment during imprisonment and the limitation of the convicted persons’ rights and freedoms during the term of serving the sentence should be in compliance with the prescribed legislation, primarily in the interest of maintaining the law and order in the state. Yet, these measures have to be based on the principle of humane and ethical treatment which is essential for the development of the society as a whole.
