The aim of the present article was to search for the answer: why did the legislator only on 16 September 2011 incorporate the changes into the Executive Criminal Code regarding the indications for receiving mandatory defence. The author also sought the occasion to discuss the questions arising from such measure: to what extent do the norms providing for the obligation of defence in the Executive Criminal Code commeasure with the norms included in the Code of Criminal Procedure, what kind of standards for mandatory defence are already set, i.e. by the Supreme Court of the Republic of Poland case law, what are the conditions for mandatory defence in executive procedure, or what arethe limits towards the right to choose defence counsel. The results of the analysis — in the matter suggested in this article — became the basis for formulating the conclusion that one of the most important issues of mandatory defence is that the incorporated changes opened a wide range of new possibilities both to a judge and a convict. Nonetheless, the prospects of those changes are truly luminous.

The article raises the issue of influence of the proposed changes of the Code of Criminal Procedure on the Executive Criminal Code with regard to public defence for sentenced persons. According to the current regulation, a sentenced person can defend themselves in person or through legal assistance of his own choice or, if they do not have sufficient means to pay for legal assistance, to be given it free. The author notes that the proposal of penal procedure reform will automatically change (through the use of Article 1 para. 2 of the Executive Criminal Code) the executive procedure. Sentenced persons will therefore not be obliged to prove their indigence to receive a public defender. They will only need to submit a simple application for a public defender without any further explanations. The only difficulty may be an application fee in the amount of 600 PLN. Having regard to the approval by the Sejm of the Republic of Poland of the revision of the abovementioned law on 30 August 2013, the Marshal of the Sejm submitted an adopted bill to the President of the Republic of Poland for signature. The amendment is expected to enter into force at the beginning of July 2015.

W pierwszej części artykułu autor tytułem wprowadzenia zajmuje się zaleceniami Narodów Zjednoczonych i Rady Europy w zakresie tworzenia i stosowania prawa karnego wykonawczego. W drugiej części przedmiotem rozważań pozostają kwestie dotyczące Reguł Minimalnych i Europejskich Reguł Więziennych. Autor ogólnie charakteryzuje wytyczne Narodów Zjednoczonych i Rady Europy w zakresie postępowania z osobami pozbawionymi wolności. W kolejnej części przedstawiono zalecenia Reguł Minimalnych i Europejskich Reguł Więziennych (w obu wersjach) w zakresie wolności sumienia i religii więźniów. Autor przytacza odnośne postanowienia tych wytycznych i dokonuje własnej oceny przyjętych tam rozwiązań. Autor zwraca także uwagę na przyjętą we wszystkich regułach konstrukcję praktyk i posług religijnych w więzieniu, polegającą na uczestnictwie w nabożeństwach, możliwości posiadania literatury religijnej i spotkaniach z przedstawicielem religijnym swego wyznania. W czwartej części artykułu analizy dotyczą uprawnień religijnych zapewnionych więźniom na podstawie Kodeksu karnego wykonawczego. W konkluzji stwierdza się, że przyjęte w polskim ustawodawstwie rozwiązania dotyczące wolności sumienia i religii więźniów nie są sprzeczne z wytycznymi Narodów Zjednoczonych i Rady Europy.

In the first part of the article, as an introduction, the author of the paper deals with the guidelines set forth by the United Nations and the Council of Europe with regard to the development and application of the executive criminal law. The second part of the paper deals with the issues concerning the Minimum Rules and the European Prison Rules.

The next part presents the guidelines of the Minimum Rules and the European Prison Rules (in both versions) as regards the prisoners' rights to freedom of conscience and religion. The author refers the relevant provisions of these guidelines and proposes his own assessment of the solutions adopted therein. The author draws attention to the construction of religious practices and services in prison adopted in all the rules, which involves the participation in the masses, the possibility of having religious literature and meetings with a representative of a particular religious belief. In the fourth part of the article, the author analyses the religious rights of prisoners provided for under the Executive Criminal Code.
