The paper deals with financial issues associated with imprisonment which may be one of the causes of social exclusion of persons released from prison. The authors of the contribution briefly characterize the prison system in the Czech Republic. They describe the negative effects associated with imprisonment which may lead to social problems and social exclusion. They address the potential financial problems associated with imprisonment more specifically, not only describing the reasons why imprisonment is costly for the individuals and their families but also pointing out the fact that imprisonment without probation is a financial burden for the state. They highlight the benefits of alternative punishments not connected with imprisonment of individuals and the necessity to focus on the issue of employing the persons released from prison.

Keywords: imprisonment, social exclusion, negative phenomena, financial problems, post-penitentiary care, alternatives to imprisonment
