If the Legislator deserves the credit for having initiated the construction of the constitutional face of punishment in the phase of enforcement, the Constitutional Court must be credited with having fueled this process, exercising significant control over the choices of the legislature by enhancing the principles of re-education, humanity, as well as proportionality and this in synergy with the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights. Dampening the enthusiasm for this path of recognition of the dignity of the prisoner is the consideration of the reality of the prison system, which is at a tremendous distance from the model outlined in the Constitution.

Keywords: Re-education, Humanity, Proportionality; Individualisation of treatment, Prisoners’ rights.
