    Příčiny vzpoury vězňů v Nápravně výchovném ústavu ministerstva vnitra Minkovice v roce 1968
    Hartman, Ivo
    The groundbreaking year of 1968 is not significant only from a socio-political point of view. The changes were also reflected in the taboo environment behind bars. All political events in society are the catalyst f or the atmosphere of that time in correctional institutions. An important role was also played by the media, which critically evaluated situation in prisons during the 1950s. The election of the new president, from which some convicts derived chances for extensive amnesty, had a great influence on the behavior of the prisoners. The tension culminated in multiple breaches of discipline, escape attempts, and ultimately riot. The biggest manifestations of dissatisfaction include the riot in the Department of Correctional Education of the Ministry of the Interior (NVÚ-MV) in Minkovice. A large number of convicts joined the „rebellion“. The media provided ongoing information on what was happening at Minkovice Prison, and articles were published in regional newspapers. A discussion show was on air and the riot was also discussed in the National Assembly. The main part of the study is a description of this event based on a thorough study of preserved archival materials.
