Education of Inmates in Polish Prisons and Remand Centre

The aim of the article is an attempt to analyze the education system of prisoners in Poland. This work is based on the available literature. The author has attempted to answer the following questions: What were the most important assumptions and legal conditions of education of inmates in Polish penitentiary units? What is the structure and organisation of the education system in penitentiary isolation? The methodology used to create the publication was to conduct a critical analysis of legal acts and other documents available on the Internet. In the course of the literature analysis, the author points out that the legislation on education in penitentiary isolation has changed over the last hundred years, but it has always been aimed at giving inmates a chance to re-enter the labour market and prevent a return to crime.
