Summary/Abstract: The occupation of the Prison Service officer belongs to the professions of public trust and is associated with the penitentiary social mission. In choosing their career path, officers should identify themselves with the mission of the penitentiary system and follow prosocial motivation. The paper presents research results on the prosocial motivation of officers. 617 respondents were surveyed using the diagnostic survey method, using a questionnaire of our own design. It was established to what extent officers identify with the penitentiary mission, their interests in the scientific problems constituting the essence of the penitentiary system (criminology, social rehabilitation, law), desire to act for society in the fight against pathology, motivation to assist prisoners and their social rehabilitation and improvement.
