Inquiry in prisons examines the existing system
In the period June-August 2015 an anonymous inquiry was conducted among 115 workers in prisons in the country. The survey was conducted within Project “Specialized Programmes for Imprisoned People with Low Intellectual Capacity and People with Psychiatric Disorders”. It aims at increasing the capacity of the workers in places of imprisonment in applying specialized reforming programmes in the prisons in Bulgaria in accordance with the best European standards. The profile of the respondents includes: 66% men and 34% women from which 97% with high education and at a medium age of 43 years old.
The method which was used aims at reaching the first goal of the project – examining the existing system of preparation of the personnel in the places of imprisonment and the existing necessities of the workers in prisons to apply specialized re-socializing programmes for people with psychiatric disorders and low intellectual capacity.
The indicated answers identify the most important factors for a more efficient work aiming at optimizing the communication between the workers and the imprisoned people. There is certain insecurity in the workers when applying their approaches as well as a need of validating the individual interventions and copying with work through teamwork trainings, sharing experience, and relating to international practices. As additional fields of training the respondents have pointed out those with juridical subject matter as well as an initial training for the newly arrived workers.
The results from the inquiry will be summarized and analyzed with the aim to be used in the development of the programmes for training.
