Ciąża, poród i opieka nad dzieckiem w więzieniach Królestwa Polskiego (1815–1867)
Pregnancy, delivery, and childcare in the prisons of the Kingdom of Poland (1815–67)

Summary/Abstract: The origin of contemporary solutions concerning the children of the imprisoned should be sought in the days of the Kingdom of Poland, when the need to regulate the problem of pregnant women, delivery, and living conditions of mothers who remained in penal institutions together with their children, as well as the life of the minors who remained outside the prison during the imprisonment of the parents were regulated. Early in the 19th century, the condition of Polish prisons did not meet even the contemporary standards. The authorities of the Duchy attempted to introduce reforms, and prison law (literally: ‘arrangement of state prisons’) was drafted, yet the unstable situation in the country aggravated by the lack of funds did not allow its implementation.
