Letters, exive and petitions: written communication of detainees

*University of Bucharest
Abstract: Following Vaclav Havel and Milan Simecka, will be observed the functions of the written correspondence between inmates and their families. Is, the diminution of uncertainty, tested by the newcomers in prison, one of these functions? Preparing a practical research, the academic paper contains a documentation of this question. On the other hand, the clandestine written correspondence - as exive or kites - seems to enhance the accommodation to the prison community. In their correspondence with the public authorities, the inmates may exercise the right to petition. The result of this dialog may influence either the inmates biography and the prison's practice.
Keywords: detention, uncertainty, turning point, deculturation, written correspondence.
Cuvinte-cheie: detenţie, incertitudine, bifurcaţie, deculturaţie, corespondenţă scrisă.
