Summary/Abstract: The article presents the views of Zygmunt Bugajski on the issue of physical education in prisonsof the Second Polish Republic. Bugajski was one of the main representatives of the Polishpenitentiary thought in the years 1918–1939. Many of his thoughts were accomplished. Physicaleducation was also brought to prisons. The article presents his thoughts on physical exercises,but also (as far as the sources allowed) their practical applications in prisons of interwar Poland.Increased interest in physical education as a form of social rehabilitation ended in the early1930s. Bugajski played an important role in this, being not only responsible for introducing legalfunctions, but also covering the theoretical foundations presented in his work: “Education andphysical education in prisons” published in 1929. Bugajski was murdered by NKVD in the springof 1940 in Katyn.
