Summary/Abstract: In the Polish penitentiary reality, people with disabilities still face problems with organising prison sentences in prisons. The need to ensure a proper and coherent system, taking into account the needs of people with various dysfunctions, is a challenge for states and societies. The detention of people with disabilities is a contribution to the discussion on effective methods and effective instruments of social policy implemented by the state, enabling the process of social rehabilitation and reintegration. This paper contains a reflection on the relationship between the European Prison Rules and the Polish law regulating the execution of imprisonment and penitentiary practice.
