Access to education from detention. The experience of european states

Abstract

People’s education and intellectual development have also had a significant impact on life expectancy, which has increased significantly in recent centuries. Thus, through science, through the education of people, more and more methods of healing the body were accessed and medicine took huge steps, reaching operations that recently were unimaginable - such as organ transplantation, treatment of diseases considered incurable, restoring lost or non-existent senses at birth, etc. For a long time, the inmates did not have access to training programs or school courses. Once behind bars, the individuals received the label of detainees and implicitly no longer showed great interest in society. They were used, most of the time - by physical and mental constraints, only for physical work, and the investment in their education was not taken into account, being classified as a waste of money, time and effort. In recent decades this perception has changed, and things have begun to evolve in this area, society paying more and more attention to those who have made mistakes, committed crimes and ended up losing one of the most precious things - freedom.
