- Abstract
The author of the paper addresses a very important institute in the process of resocialization of prisoners - the granting of privileges to prisoners. Privileges of prisoners are incentive that motivates prisoners to actively engage in their own rehabilitation. The basic function of privileges is to stimulate inmates to a disciplinary and responsible behavior and exemplary efforts in work and other rehabilitative activities during serving their sentence. In this article the author specifically focuses on international standards and regulations in the Republic of Macedonia concerning the conditions and procedure for granting privileges to prisoners. In a separate chapter the author makes an analysis of the number of granted privileges to prisoners in the Republic of Macedonia in the period 2008-2016. The author concludes that our penological practice regarding the privileges of prisoners have a positive attitude because it is a very suitable method for dealing with inmates. When deciding to grant privileges to prisoners the prescribed criteria for granting should be respected. Also, the prisoners should be clearly acknowledged that their active involvement in the process of their own re-socialization will pay off; they will be granted privileges because of their positive behavior. On the other side, selective granting of privileges to prisoners can have the opposite effect. In order to minimize the abuse of the granted priviliges, the re-socialization sector and the commission for granting priviliges need to make an appropriate assessment of the prisoner's behavior after receiving the privilige.
