Rehabilitation is one of the major principle in treating of persons who are convicted to prison sentence and consists of numerous rules set in some international documents as well as in national legislations. In work is given an overview of the historical development of the rehabilitation model both in global and domestic level as well as modern approaches in realization of rehabilitation expectations. The author further analysis some retributive tendentions in modern legislation. One of the problem is the trend of imposing a life sentence which is particularly problematic in case of absence the possibility of parole for certain convicts.
