Summary/Abstract: This presentation deals withsome problems of the Czech prison system during last six years. It bings two different views of this area. First view, it means a criminal law and penology view, deals with the new conception of the Czech prison systems reform. This conception is based upon the philosophy of the European Prison Rules, which is concerned with the reeducation and resocialisation of the delinquent and with the respect for fundamental rights of individuals and emphasizes two basic lines of the reform - the changes of the structure and the functional changes. Second view can be seen as a critical view of the sociology.
