Geneza i motywy wprowadzenia do Kodeksu karnego możliwości wymierzenia kary nieredukowalnego dożywotniego pozbawienia wolności
Origins and motives for the introduction into the Criminal Code of the possibility of imposing an irreducible life sentence

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the genesis and motives of the introduction to the Criminal Code of the possibility of imposing the life imprisonment without parole (Act of 7 July 2022 amending the Act – Criminal Code and certain other acts). In the author’s opinion, the provisions in question have the character of penal populism and constitute an example of objectification of the convict, who becomes a means to achieve certain goals. The analysed provisions refer to primal (atavistic) instincts (revenge). The regulations in question will not reduce the level of crime. The introduction of the possibility of imposing a sentence of irreducible life imprisonment into the Criminal Code is also part of the change in axiology that the legislator has given expression to in terms of the sentencing directives.
