KU REINTEGRACJI. Rodzina w perspektywie procesu indywidualizacji oddziaływań penitencjarnych wobec osób odbywających kary długoterminowe
Towards Reintegration: The Family, as seen in the Light of Individualized Penal Treatment of Persons Serving Long-Term Sentences

Summary/Abstract: The article sums up a research project carried out among persons serving longterm sentences and, simultaneously, parents of children under fifteen years of age. The project was run in penitentiary institutions in Poland and in the Czech Republic. The author analyzed the most important fields of penitentiary work with a view to individualized penal treatment of the inmates. She pointed out the significance of factors such as the structure of the meaning of life, the distress caused by isolation and confinement, and the role of the family in the process of resocialization. The empirical material gathered throughout the research enabled identification of the areas in need of intense and complex actions, which may significantly contribute to the creation of a coherent system of support aimed at persons serving long-term sentences. A system of this kind might, as a result, strengthen the individual’s inner need for a worthy, authentic and responsible life once the person in question has served his or her term.
