Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on innovative solutions undertaken in prisoner rehabilitation in chosen European countries: England and Wales, France, Germany, Spain and Scandinavian countries: Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark. New solutions implemented in systems of offender rehabilitation in these countries, which aim to avoid recidivism, are linked to the current tendency of liberalization of penal politics. As such, their particular emphasis is on applying nonisolation methods of punishing acts of offending as one of their key goals is to promote offenders’ social reintegration and – on the other hand – preventing them from further social marginalization.
