The main purpose of detention in a modern, humanitarian prison system is to bring the prisoners to live in a free society in a manner consistent with applicable laws and morals. The indicators of modernity are also ways and means by which attempts are made to achieve this goal. In many European and non-European prisons, physical culture achievements are commonly used in working with prisoners. They organize programmed resocialization activities for prisoners with a substantial share of physical education and recreational free time activities. Sometimes, prisoners are offered the chance to take their own initiatives to encourage healthy lifestyles. In addition to teaching, during which the prisoners participate in physical activity, they use interaction with sports authorities in the form of discussion meetings between prisoners and athletes. Such meetings are also organized at the House of Detention in Inowrocław, which operates a half-open unit for the convicts. These meetings are the part of the activities of “Paragraph”, the Olympian club (based at the Inowrocław prison) subject to the Polish Olympic Committee. The author participated in several such meetings as an invited guest or co-organizer and observed that they are primarily of a recollective character. But it was hard to find in them specific, praxeologically structured and conceptually implemented resocialization interactions. Teleological vagueness initiated the search for the real purpose of these meetings by means of observation. The meetings clearly appeared to have more of an ad hoc (referring to the conditions in prison) than a prospective character (undertaken with a view to the period after release). These findings were the inspiration for the development of the main objectives of a two-step strategy of a change in scenarios of the meetings between the convicts and athletes, the ultimate goal of which was to give them the characteristics of programmed rehabilitation. They defined the procedure for involving sportsmen to accomplish the objectives in the area of mental health and social development and made the selection and development of tools to measure the effects of these interactions. The article is a report on research designed to determine differences in perception of health, as well as on conducting health activities among those inmates who participated in the program “Active today, different tomorrow” and those who did not participate in it. The study involved 67 penitentiary recidivists. Two questionnaires by Siegfried Juczyński were used: the List of Health Criteria and Health Behaviour Inventory. The results gave the possibility to formulate important methodological implications for practitioners who involve prominent sportsmen in resocialization. They also proved useful in efforts to create another resocialization program that uses sports activity in resocialization.

Social support is essential for mental and physical health and plays an important role in reducing the risk of returning to prison. The main sources of prisoners’ social support are relatives with whom they have the right to communicate using a variety of forms. The frequency of contact depends on the type of prison. However, little research examines prisoners’ communication with their relatives. The study was conducted on 478 men between the ages of 16 and 68 (M = 35,2; SD = 9,7), who were serving a prison sentence in one of five penitentiary facilities. The analysis revealed that the majority of incarcerated men had contact with their relatives, usually in a form of phone calls. The majority of them had contact with a mother. The study also demonstrated that the percentage of contacts with relatives decreased with age and time spent in prison.

W materiale zawarto wyniki projektów (2003 – N = 100 i 2013-2014 – N = 485) zrealizowanych w siedmiu męskich więzieniach podległych Okręgowemu Inspekto-ratowi Służby Więziennej w Rzeszowie. Stwierdzono następujące prawidłowości w relacjach więźniów z żonami/partnerkami: niski odsetek więźniów posiadających żony/partnerki (34-51%); wielokrotne próby stworzenia przez mężczyzn stałej relacji (84-93%), niską trwałość związków (do 3 lat), niedojrzałe motywy wchodzenia w związki – często przypadek, materialne lub emocjonalne korzyści. Badani unikają obowiązków rodzinnych, zmuszają kobiety do współudziału w przestępstwach, stosują wobec nich przemoc – również seksualną, lekceważą zdrowie seksualne kobiet, podejmują współżycie z innymi, w tym prostytutkami. Pomimo tak poważnych problemów w związku więźniowie bardzo dobrze oceniają swoje partnerki, są gotowi kontynuować związek, są przekonani o ich wierności, a także pozytywnie oceniają kontakty seksualne sprzed uwięzienia. Stwierdzono, że w procesie socjalizacji osadzonych wystąpiły czynniki, które mogą w sposób destrukcyjny oddziaływać na pomyślne wypełnianie przez nich roli męża/partnera: wychowywanie się bez jednego rodzica lub obojga rodziców (35%), restrykcyjny model wychowania seksualnego w rodzinie (42%), niekorzystne doświadczenia seksualne. Uwzględniając, że wielu mężczyzn nagannie realizuje rolę męża/partnera życiowego, a izolacja więzienna przyczynia się do rozluźnienia i zerwania więzi z żonami/partnerkami, postuluje się włączyć w proces resocjalizacji poradnictwo rodzinne.

The material describes the results of research conducted in seven male correctional facilities of the Regional Prison Service Inspectorate in Rzeszów (in 2003 N = 100, in 2013-2014 N = 485). On the basis of the research results, the following conclusions on prisoners’ relations with their wives or life partners were drawn: the percentage of prisoners who have wives or life partners is very low (34-51%); prisoners strive for stable relationships but often fail (84-93%); prisoners’ relationships do not last long (up to 3 years); their motives for forming relationships are often immature and they result mainly from a coincidence, material or emotional profits. The interviewees avoid family obligations, force women to commit crimes, they are violent against their female partners (also in sexual contacts), neglect women’s sexual health, have sex with other women and prostitutes. Despite so serious problems in prisoners’ relationships, the respondents evaluate their female partners very well and they want to continue the relationships. Moreover, they are convinced about their partners’ faithfulness and loyalty and they are also very satisfied with their sexual contacts from the period preceding the imprisonment. It was stated that during the process of socialisation, the prisoners experienced some factors that could negatively influence the fulfilment of their role as a husband or life partner. The factors were the following: growing up in a single parent family or without parents (35%), a restrictive model of sex education within family (42%), bad sexual experience such as early sexual initiation age, numerous sex partners, sexual contacts with random and unknown partners, having sex under the influence of psychoactive drugs, using or offering sexual services with the use of sexual violence and avoiding contraception. The research also revealed that many men fulfil their role of a husband or life partner in the righteous way and that prison isolation contributes to loosening the bonds and ending the relationship with their wives and female life partners. Hence, it is recommended that one of resocialization process elements is family counselling.
