Communists had ambitious plans with regard to young people. They intended to educate them in such a way that they would ultimately become the builders of the “new system”. Yet this plan turned out to be impossible to implement in Poland where young people were strongly attached to tradition, religion and most importantly, where they were inculcated with patriotic values in their family homes. The communists, who knew that controlling young people would be a diffi cult process, issued a number of instructions to the security apparatus. The latter concerned among others the ways in which one ought to control the young generation. Young people had to bear the consequences of their independence activities. Following their arrest, they were usually subjected to a brutal investigation which lasted many hours; during these investigations the Intelligence Service (UB) officers usually bullied and harassed the detained. In most cases the investigation ended with drawing up charges and bringing a case to the Military District Court. As a rule, the military courts issued verdicts of a few years imprisonment. After the verdict had been passed, the young people could lodge an appeal to the Supreme Military Court in Warsaw; the latter could lower the sentence, but it could also refer the case for reconsideration with the recommendation that the defendants should obtain the highest possible punishment. After the passing of the sentence, members of youth independence organizations were for instance sent to forced labor camps. When having served their prison terms, they left the detention centers, the security apparatus continued to gather information about them, fearing that the young people will begin to set up independence organizations yet again. Sometimes, the invigilation continued for years.

Before the emergence of colonial rule in Nigeria, pre-colonial societies had well-organised political and judicial institutions that guided customary laws and orderliness. Among the means employed in implementing order and laws was the ‘prison’ locally referred to as ‘Tubu’. The advent of colonial rule under the British Native Administration also witnessed the use of prisons to maintain law and order in the colonies. The colonial authority put at its disposal the coercive security apparatus of police, court, and prison to enable a conducive environment for society. The prison operated within the basic framework of maintaining peace and order. In Ilorin Province, the Emir, under the indirect rule system, controlled these instruments of power and authority, such as treasuries, prisons, courts, and police. Using a historical research method that relies on archival documents collected from the National Archive Kaduna (NAK), Nigeria and secondary source of data from books and peer-reviewed journals, the article examined crime, prison services and administration in Ilorin Emirate. Under the prison administration, the article seeks to understand how issues of rehabilitation, prisoners’ health, food, genderisation of prisoners, and the condition of service provided by prison wardens were handled under colonial rule. The article contributes to a global perspective on how British colonialists conceptualised and handled issues surrounding punishment and prison during colonial rule.

: The study responds to the lack of theological reflection on prison spiritual ministry in Czechia. Although the Czech Republic has a well‑developed ecumenical prison ministry of chaplains, its operations are primarily of interest in the sociology of religion and penitentiary sociology. The reflection in pastoral or practical theology is significantly weaker. Thus, this study aims to describe the essential elements for the first theological conceptualisation of the prison spiritual ministry in the Czech Republic. It is based on the analysis of the current discourse in the sociology of religion, penitentiary sociology, pastoral theology, and partially other helping professions. Such an analysis serves as the basis for pastoral‑theological evaluation and hermeneutics. The study attempts to draw the core lines for the possible pastoral conceptualisation of the Czech prison spiritual ministry of chaplains with a background in Christian churches.

This article provides insight on two Polish prison officers, Wladyslaw Dilaj and Franciszek Jadownicki, who were wardens of the prison located near Grodzki Court (Sąd Grodzki) in Jaroslaw. Due to a scarcity of sources on the aforementioned people, the article is based on archival sources. These sources need to be viewed through a critical lense due to the socio-political reality they were created in. After all, the years 1944–1946 are the period when the communistic system was being “introduced” to Poland. The sources mentioned earlier are quoted in extenso, which in the author’s opinion reflects the reality and the atmosphere of those very dreary times. By serving as an example, this small prison unit is a gateway to present and highlight some of the problems that prison management staff in every prison had to face. Staff shortages, drinking on the job, small intellectual capability of the prison officers, penchant for exhibiting illegal behavior, and finally the abuse of power. This article highlights the lack of competence of some prison officers. However, it focuses on the difficult situations the prison management staff near Grodzki Court found itself in when prison breaks happened. During 1944–1946 there were numerous prison breaks all over the country. The prison near Grodzki Court was not an exception in this regard.

Artykuł przybliża w pewnym stopniu postacie dwóch funkcjonariuszy polskiego więziennictwa. Władysław Diłaj i Franciszek Jadownicki, w takiej właśnie kolejności w latach 1944–1946 pełnili funkcję naczelnika więzienia (aresztu) przy Sądzie Grodzkim w Jarosławiu. Z braku innych materiałów, które dotyczyłyby wspomnianych osób, oparto się na źródłach archiwalnych. Wymagają one krytycznego spojrzenia, były bowiem tworzone w określonej sytuacji polityczno-społecznej. Lata 1944–1946 to przecież czas „instalowania” systemu komunistycznego w Polsce. Wspomniane wcześniej źródła cytowane są in extenso, co zdaniem autora dodatkowo oddaje atmosferę i rzeczywistość tamtych, bardzo ponurych przecież, czasów. Na przykładzie małej jednostki więziennej udało się pokazać niektóre problemy, z jakimi spotykały się osoby piastujące funkcje kierownicze w jednostkach więziennych. Braki kadrowe, pijaństwo na służbie, niewielki potencjał intelektualny większości funkcjonariuszy ówczesnej Straży Więziennej, skłonność do zachowań niepraworządnych, wreszcie nadużycia władzy. Ten artykuł ukazuje przede wszystkim brak kompetencji zawodowych u niektórych więzienników. W pierwszej kolejności jednak zwraca uwagę na problemy ludzi kierujących więzieniem przy Sądzie Grodzkim w Jarosławiu w kontekście licznych ucieczek więźniów. Skala tego zjawiska, zwłaszcza w latach 1944–1946, była bardzo duża. Więzienie (areszt) przy Sądzie Grodzkim w Jarosławiu nie stanowi pod tym względem wyjątku.
