PrisonLIFE: Perceptions of Prisoners on Improving and Reducing the Quality of Prison Life in Serbia

This dataset was created as part of the PrisonLIFE project, funded by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia under Grant No. 7750249.

The dataset includes responses from prisoners across multiple correctional facilities in Serbia, collected using the Serbian version of the Measuring the Quality of Prison Life (MQPL) survey. It focuses on two key questions:

Perceptions of how the quality of prison life could be improved (e.g., through recreational activities, family contact, or preparation for release).

Factors perceived as most detrimental to the quality of prison life.

The dataset contains:

Responses aggregated for each prison separately.

Combined responses from all prisons included in the study.

This dataset provides valuable insights into prisoners' perspectives on improving and reducing the quality of prison life, supporting evidence-based recommendations for enhancing prison policies and practices.
