Item type:Publication, POST PENAL ASSISTANCE OF EX-PRISONERS – the case of the Republic of Macedonia –(Iustinianus Primus Law Review, 2011)Gruevska Drakulevski, AleksandraThe author of the paper deals with the issue of post penal assistance of ex-prisoners. The author gives a review of the best practicies of implementation of the post penal assistance, namely the Anglo-Saxon countries. The paper analyses the application of the post penal assistance of ex-prisoners in the Republic of Macedonia. Post penal assistance is seen as an extended treatment of the convict. This form of treatment is an element of re-socialization as a continuous process aimed at successful engagement of the ex-prisoner in the lawful life. Post penal assistance can be internal, that is encouragement and advice of the convicts to solve their own problems they would face immediately after release from the penal institution. On the other hand is the external assistance that is manifested through various forms, such as: providing temporary accommodation and nutrition, providing necessary treatment, selection of a new environment in which the convicted person will live, assisting in arranging family situation, finding suitable employment, enabling to finish school, providing financial assistance to cover the most necessary needs, etc. External post penal assistance is the real after care of ex-prisoners. Post penal assistance as a form of treatment provides achievement of the principles of humanity in the execution of criminal sanctions. Measures taken by the institutions and bodies responsible for post penal assistance should be in accordance with the needs of prisoners. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, CONDITIONAL RELEASE (PAROLE) IN THE SYSTEM OF EXECUTION OF SANCTIONS IN THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA: IS IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECOMMENDATION REC (2003) 22 ON CONDITIONAL RELEASE (PAROLE)?(Iustinianus Primus Law Review, 2012)Gruevska Drakulevski, AleksandraThe author considers the Macedonian legal regime on conditional release and compares it with the principles of the Recommendation Rec(2003)22 on conditional release (parole) and the Appendix to Recommendation Rec(2003)22. The author argues that the Macedonian parole system needs certain improvements, especially regarding procedural safeguards in the decision-making process. In a separate chapter, the author of the paper analyses the data on the requests and proposals submitted by the directors of penitentiary institutions for conditional release and their acceptance and refusals in the Republic of Macedonia. According to the data on application of the conditional release (parole) in our penitentiary practice, the author concludes that it is very rarely imposed. In cases where the request is accepted, the parole is usually granted to prisoners sentenced to short sentences and it is mostly approved for up to 3 months. Hence, it turns out that the main objective of the institute conditional release is not realized. This main objective is to motivate inmates to engage actively in their own re-socialization process, to stimulate exemplary behaviour and to participate actively in the work engagement in the institution. The data prove that conditional release should be monitored and studied further in terms of its application for special categories of inmates and types of crimes. The study should facilitate setting criteria ensuring wider application of this institute. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, GRANTING PRIVILEGES TO PRISONERS IN THE PENOLOGICAL PRACTICE OF THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA(Iustinianus Primus Law Review, 2013)Gruevska Drakulevski, AleksandraThe author of the paper addresses a very important institute in the process of re-socialization of prisoners - the granting of privileges to prisoners. Privileges of prisoners are incentives that motivate 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 the serving of 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 analyzes a number of granted privileges to prisoners in the Republic of Macedonia in the period between 2008 and 2012, and their subsequent abuse. The author concludes that our penological practice regarding privileges of prisoners has 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, prisoners should clearly acknowledge 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 hand, selective granting of privileges to prisoners can have the opposite effect. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Life Sentence Prisoners in the Republic of Macedonia(2014)Gruevska Drakulevski, AleksandraThe article analyses the most important personal traits of life sentence prisoners in the Republic of Macedonia in order to give a profile of an offender of the most serious crimes. In determining the profile of an offender in general, he is analysed and is examined not as a biological being, but as a distinct social type of person with characteristics and traits formed under the influence of the negative features of the social environment. In a separate chapter, the author of the article analyses personal characteristics and traits of life sentenced prisoners in the the Republic of Macedonia based on the results of a research conducted in prison Idrizovo as a penitentiary institution, where all life sentence prisoners are serving their prison sentence. Personal characteristics of life sentence prisoners are relevant in determining the aetiology of the most serious crimes. Also, knowing the personality of a serious offender is of great importance for the application of appropriate treatment for successful realization of the process of re-socialization. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, THE NELSON MANDELA RULES: THE REVISED UNITED NATIONS STANDARD MINIMUM RULES FOR THE TREATMENT OF PRISONERS – SHORT REVIEW(Iustinianus Primus Law Review, 2017)Gruevska Drakulevski, AleksandraThe author of the paper provides a brief review of the structure of the new `Nelson Mandela Rules` - The Revised United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners with the emphasizes of the most important revisions and amendments of the previous United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners from 1955.The Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners were adopted in 1955, and constitute since then the universally acknowledged minimum standards for the management of prison facilities and the treatment of prisoners. The Rules were revised in nine substantive areas to reflect standards that have emerged in correctional science and human rights since 1955, which are now called the Nelson Mandela Rules. This designation was made to honor the legacy of the late President of South Africa, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison in the course of his struggle for global human rights, equality, democracy and the promotion of a culture of peace.These rules represent an updated blueprint for prison management in the 21st century which upholds and promotes prisoners' dignity.
