“…Aplūkojot valstis kā Zambiju un Malaiziju, var redzēt, ka izglītības izmantošana cietumos kā veids, kā atjaunot noziegumus izdarījušas personas, kļūst par pieaugošu tendenci penitenciārajā sistēmā. Penitenciārā izglītība Zambijā tiek uzskatīta par svarīgu rīku uzvedības, normu un zināšanu maiņai krimināli tendēto personu vidū, kas izcieš sodu, lai sagatavotu viņus pakāpeniskai resocializācijai sabiedrībā (Kakupaa & Mpundu Mulenga, 2021). Zambijā darba iegūšana pēc atbrīvošanās ir īpaši svarīga krimināli tendētām personām, jo tā nodrošina stabilitāti, ienākumus un samazina bijušo krimināli tendēto personu atgriešanās varbūtību noziedzīgajā dzīvē.…”

The research tasks encompass various key objectives, including the analysis of offender characteristics, exploration of the formation process of offender personalities, formulation of proposals to mitigate the negative impact of macro-environmental factors, and development of resocialization recommendations. The novelty of the research is linked to changes in cultural values and social norms influencing the behavior, motivation, and transformation of social values among criminally inclined individuals. The outcomes of the research will contribute to the development of more effective strategies for crime prevention and the resocialization of offender personalities within society. The chosen research methods will provide a comprehensive insight into the formation of offender personalities and the factors influencing them. The monographic method will be utilized to describe existing research findings and provide conceptual explanations regarding offender personality and its formation mechanisms. The comparative method will be applied to assess issues related to the prevention of criminal activities among criminally inclined individuals in Latvia and other countries.

“…Also, it was further revealed that participants were never asked to make their choice in terms of choosing the type of education they want to participate in. They also view the extent of participation from incarcerated individuals as very low [ 56 ]. Correctional education is to some extent available in Nigerian prisons, but the quality varies from what is obtainable in the western world.…”

Much is not known about education programmes for Nigerian incarcerated individuals. Consequently, different correctional institutions worldwide have different forms of correctional education offered to incarcerated individuals. Nigerian incarcerated individuals perceive that there are implementations of education programmes offered to them. However, little or nothing is known about how incarcerated individuals perceive these education programmes. To this end, this study ascertains the incarcerated individuals’ perception of education programmes as well as the expectations of social work profession in ensuring that incarcerated individuals in correctional institutions are provided with quality education. In-depth interviews involving 20 convicted incarcerated individuals from Owerri correctional centre were conducted. Thematic analysis was used in analyzing data generated for the study. Findings show that education programmes are available and essential, but the quality of the programme does not go down well with the incarcerated individuals. It also revealed that incarcerated individuals were not allowed to decide on the type of education programme to be involved in. To this end, their participation in the programme is jeopardized. The findings further revealed that little or nothing is known about social workers in prison education. Therefore, the inclusion of correctional social workers as an integral part of education programmes that aim to reform, rehabilitate and reintegrate incarcerated individuals becomes necessary.

“…Departing from this general understanding, it is necessary to identify the forms of resistance carried out by convicts while serving their sentence in Correctional Institutions so that Correctional Officers can anticipate or prevent greater resistance in the form of rioting and burning of prisons. [ Kakupa, 2021]. The resistance and adaptation that characterizes the reality of prison inmates' lives often collide directly with formal rules.…”

The aim of this study is to identify and describe the forms of resistance carried out by convicts in Class IIA Correctional Purwokerto. This research is qualitative research, and its analysis is descriptive. Data collection techniques using interview techniques were conducted on informants who had the characteristics of convicts who had served a minimum of one year's sentence, tamping or workers, 9 people and Correctional Officers including the Head of the Correctional Security Unit, Security and Order Officers. 5 person observations were also made to observe behavior, developments, and other things related to prisoner resistance. Based on the results of the research conducted, the resistance exercised by inmates at Class IIA Correctional Purwokerto is a way of adapting patterns in living life in prison which is full of limitations and pain. The resistance carried out by Correctional Purwokerto inmates is open resistance and closed resistance. Where this open resistance is a way to fight the rules that restrain convicts as well as open resistance efforts against the policy, this form of open resistance is synonymous with riots, attacks on officers, individual and group protests, “lobi-lobi 86”, and not following coaching, even by lying and withdrawing respect, and this shows a pattern of adaptation to ritualism, innovation, as well as rebillion. As for the closed resistance carried out by convicts, it tends to be in the form of clandestine deviations. Forms of closed resistance include smuggling of prohibited items, both drugs and cellphones, hiding prohibited items, attempts to escape, laziness, stealing, refusal of food rations and even sexual deviation. This shows an adaptation pattern of innovation, retreatism, and ritualism.
