THE NEED FOR MUSIC THERAPY IN CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES

This paper aims to enrich the resocialization process in the prison of the Republic of Macedonia through the application of music therapy and the opportunities it offers to achieve positive results in the personality of the prisoners. Music therapy offers very useful methods and work that can be applied in working with this category of people serving a prison sentence. A large part of the time prisoners spend in prison is insufficiently used. The organization of time by employees in the resocialization sector and the regular general and specific programs intended for their resocialization while serving a prison sentence should also be filled with other useful activities. This primarily refers to the organization of free time, which is also of great importance and is an integral part of the socialization of prisoners.
