The aim of this paper is to introduce discipline of penitentiary soci ology, discuss its forms in the context of the Czech Republic, and answer the question of why sociologists do not participate in everyday practice behind bars of Czech prisons even though they have formal ties with this environ ment. The findings presented in this paper are based on qualitative research conducted in Czech prisons. The data corpus includes qualitative interviews with selected actors in the prison world and an analysis of relevant documents relating to the research topic. Sociology and the prison system meet on two basic levels in the Czech Republic. As an external partnership that seems to have grown stronger over the years and as an internal bond that has weakened (and almost been dismissed) since the end of the 1990s. Sociology has formally retained a place behind the bars of Czech prisons thanks to the sociologists who according to the regulations of the Czech prison service should figure among the prison staff. In reality, the initial enthusiasm for this practice faded over the years and there are no sociologists currently working in Czech pris ons. In this paper the author presents some possible explanations for this, ofers a historical description of the (non)participation of sociologists in Czech prisons, and discusses the possibilities for the future development of Czech penitentiary sociology.

Vězeňská duchovní služba, tedy pastorační činnost vězeňských kaplanů a s nimi spolupracujících dobrovolníků z řad duchovních, patří v českém teologickém prostředí k málo reflektovaným oblastem církevní praxe, 1 byť už má i svou vlastní memoárovou publikaci. 2 Mnohem vyššímu zájmu se toto téma paradoxně těší u sociologů náboženství a představitelů akademických větví různých pomáhajících profesí, které působí ve věznicích jako neuniformovaní zaměstnanci. 3 Záměrem této studie je proto konceptualizace vězeňské pastorace z pozice pastorální teologie -a to vzhledem k českému kontextu. Protože je celá vězeňská duchovní služba organizována jako jiné kaplanské služby v ČR striktně ekumenicky, bude zohledněna i nekatolická teologická literatura. Metodologicky bude studie postupovat osvědčenou pastorálně -teologickou metodou Josefa kardinála Cardijna Vidět Posoudit Jednat, 4 resp. její akademickou modifikací. 5 * Tato studie je výstupem projektu TAČR v programu Éta (Podpora inovačního potenciálu společenských věd, humanitních věd a umění) č. TL02000390 s názvem "Odborná příprava vězeňských kaplanů s ohledem na specifika vězeňského prostředí."
