Zjawisko wykluczenia społecznego więźniów i osób opuszczających ośrodki penitencjarne. Analiza problemu i możliwości przeciwdziałania zjawisku

Nowadays, it is very easy to exclude someone not only from our lives but also from the society. Prisoners and ex-prisoners are undoubtedly socially rejected people often treated like outcasts. The author of the article was not interested in an empirical research, but rather he aimed to point out the existing problem and eventual attempts to counteract it. After describing the issue of social exclusion and its effects on the post prison societies, the author focuses on difficulties and hardships they struggle with in the real life. The author provides us with an in-depth analysis of conclusions concerning different types of help and support for inmates, institutional support (not only for inmates in prison but also for released convicts) and lasting changes that need to be made. The conclusion of the paper is the call for reform that should take place not only in the structures of the state but first of all in the way of thinking of contemporary people.
