Evaluation of Changes in the Implementation of Statutory Tasks at the Rawicz Penitentiary (1989–2019)

The subject of the analysis is the evaluation of statutory changes that have taken place over a period of 30 years at the Rawicz Penitentiary. The two most important objectives of the article are: to assess the evolution of changes in the implementation of statutory tasks and to assess changes in the effectiveness of the implementation of statutory tasks. Based on the specific nature of this topic and the need to refer to a specific time period, this article oscillates within the time limits from the end of 1989, a breakthrough year for Polish history, to December 2019. Several changes that took place in this particular time period were dictated by the collapse of the communist system and, thus, a change of government. They were almost comprehensive in nature, as they included infrastructural, legal, sociological and behavioral changes at the same time. A number of trials that took place from 1989 for a period of 30 years, and most of the changes introduced in the Penitentiary in Rawicz showed a high level of efficiency in the implementation of statutory tasks.
