Cizinci v nápravně výchovných ústavech v letech 1968-1989.

In the second half of the 1960s, Czechoslovakia adopted legislation for the imprisonment of foreigners which was essentially in force until 1989. For the purposes of criminal proceedings, a foreigner was defined as a person of a nationality other than the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic or a person without a nationality, taking into account whether the person was allowed to reside permanently in the territory of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. Terms of imprisonment for convicted foreigners were served in accordance with the law in force and the rules of service of terms of imprisonment, but with certain variations from the service of terms of imprisonment by Czechoslovak citizens. The presented edition of documents includes the most important archival materials, providing an idea of the status of convicted foreigners in Czechoslovak correctional institutions. They demonstrate the legal rules used to derive their rights and obligations, the problems faced by the prison administration, the conditions in which the convicts lived, how they adjusted the environment in which they were forced to live, how their cultural and ethnic differences were manifested, and the issues they discussed. The collected documents are divided into three parts, each representing a different set of archival records in terms of their purpose and the information provided. The first part contains the most important legal regulations determining how to deal with convicted foreigners and what rights they have. These are the orders issued by the Chief of the Correctional Service Corps Directorate. The second part includes documents providing information on the convicts' accommodation and their assignment in prison production. The last part contains documents of various kinds illustrating the convicts' inner life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
