THREATS IN CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES OF THE PRISON SERVICE IN POLAND

Abstrakt

The functioning of the correctional facilities of the Prison Service in Poland involves
those serving a prison sentence, those convicted, and those in temporary custody,
as well as the officers and staff of the Prison Service (PL: Służba Więzienna – SW).
Many incidents of various natures threaten security in correctional facilities in
Poland. On the one hand, such threats arise in the course of carrying out official
duties; on the other – dangerous situations may result from a complex relationship
between an officer and a person in detention. The present threats emerging in correctional
facilities in Poland have forced the state authorities to pay special attention
to the functioning and improvement of security standards in all units of the Prison
Service. In this article, the authors first classify the threats in correctional facilities
in Poland. A categorisation of threats into those arising from the officer, those arising
from the attitude of prisoners, and those arising from other causes is presented.
External threats in the vicinity of the correctional facilities and internal threats
within the said units have also been taken into account. The analysis of threats in
SW correctional facilities in Poland, made in the article, covers the period from 2011
to 2021, and its aim is to present the scale and trends of threats occurring in penal
institutions and remand centres.
