The perspective of the quality of life of the killer – a critical discussion on the importance of the multicontextuality of experience

Summary/Abstract: The author discusses the subject of the convicted person’s aging, revealing the sense of his duality: age advancement and prison isolation. Discussions on attempts to promote the fuzzy idea of care for the elderly in today’s prisons are worrying. The aim of the research was to provide a vision of needs, corresponding to the real circumstances of the seniors from the perspective of their narrative. The subject of exploration was the phenomenon of a specific perception and experience of time by the prisoners, in particular, feedback events. The intention of the researcher was to separate out what had been unnoticeable so far. The text presents an analysis of the biography of the person whose life has been marked by moments of crisis, interpreted by including them in the story of life breakthroughs. In view of the described background, an additional “frame” clarifying the intentions of the hermeneut was an epiphany as a unique experience, an original one, dividing the life of a senior into “before” and “after”, “then” and “now”.
