Summary/Abstract: The behavior of individuals shape society, and their effect is largely due to the impact of the system of values and social norms prevailing in a particular society, which deals with sociology as a science. Every society struggles against violations of social norms, however, the fact is that there are companies that do not violate this standard. It is therefore necessary to establish a system that will not sanction any form of deviant behavior that disrupts the functioning of the social system. All this should contribute to the security of society as a major and long-term task of the state and society as a whole. Among other things, the structure of this scientific work was influenced by the need to deal with the prison as an institution in the function security of modern societies, reviewing its social position and its intentionality in order to assess whether in fact such a system is monitored and adjusted to the needs and goals of modern society. The aim of this work is to give contribution to the understanding of the total problem of prison society as a function of security of the state as the basic social and state needs, the basic state values and basic safety guarantees.
