Abstract
This study was designed to examine Czech inmates' attitudes towards the relevant aspects of incarceration concerning time spent in prison and other demographic characteristics. The sample consisted of 282 male inmates from a typical prison.
Ratings on almost all aspects were positive and one major factor was found to exist. The convicts evaluated their incarceration as a whole concerning their specific prison.
With one exception, there was no relationship between the attitudes and independent variables. Attitudes towards incarceration do not differ between different groups of inmates and are stable over the course of a sentence.
The results have been discussed.
