Summary/Abstract: The Central Training Center of the Prison Service in Szczypiorno near Kalisz has educated tens of thousands of officers of the Prison Service at various levels during its 69 years of existence. Prison officers from the lowest ranks of non-commissioned officers and standard-bearers to officers’ cuts were trained here, through specialist and improvement training for managerial staff. From the beginning of its existence, it was associated with the Kalisz community, but its activities covered the entire country, and at the end of its existence also Europe, Asia and North America - in a word, the world. The article presents the history of the center and its role in the development of modern penitentiary thought and the education of prison staff.
