Penitentiary Measures Applied to Convicts as Seen by Prison Service Officers

Abstract

The purpose of a custodial sentence is to change an individual’s personality and behaviour so that they do not revert to crime in the future. The article discusses penitentiary measures applied in penitentiary units with the aim of helping convicts reintegrate with the society to play specific social roles. In the research performed, a diagnostic survey method and a questionnaire technique were used. The survey was conducted in 2021 in 15 penitentiary units in Poland. The results obtained indicate that the surveyed officers serving on a daily basis in category II units assess the penitentiary effects better than officers serving in category I units.
