| Act no. 221/2006 on Execution of detention as amended, 15 March 2006, (Zákon č. 221/2006 z 15. marca 2006 o výkone väzby) | If detainee requests assistance in dealing with his/her adverse living situation, the detention facility shall provide detainee with social counselling and assistance. Social work is carried out in detention as a targeted, coordinated and professional activity aimed, among other things, at preparing the detainee for a normal life after release from detention. Work activities in the detention facility are allowed with the consent of the detainee. The detainee may be allowed to engage in work activities in the detention facility which aim to meaningfully preserve, develop and use the detainee's abilities and to cope with the negative effects of detention.
