Meanings attributed to punishment by recidivists from the Wołów Prison

Summary/Abstract: The concept of punishment is strongly connected with penology. Justice system is punishing criminals to make them change and discourage them from inappropriate behavior. I as a scientist, was interested in question: what prisoners who reoffends repeatedly think about punishment, effectiveness and necessity of this. In theoretical part of my publication I described how scientist write about purpose and functions of punishment. I did that because I want to compare scientific theory with reality. I was talked to ten recidivists from Prison in Wołów and every conversation was different, so my conclusions are not ambiguous. There is a need to make more research.
