https://doi.org/10.4467/25439561.NP.17.056.8131The phenomenon of disability stems from the fact that depending on the perspective and its interpretation it can mean different things. In order to give disability a positive meaning, ablebodied people must learn about the world of the disabled. Undeniably, getting into the inner world of the disabled, makes able-bodied people understand disability itself and people who are disabled. It is significant to discover subjective meanings and interpretations of the disabled lives to notice the uniqueness of the interpretation of the world and everyday life. There is a chance that disabled people will be associated in a positive way and their voice will have a real influence on creating their social image. Taking into account the above, the article is on questions put to people with Aspergere syndrome about their views on penitentiary space in a broad sense and its different impressions.

https://doi.org/10.4467/25439561.NP.17.053.8128Self-aggressive acts of prisoners have been observed in Polish penitentiary institutions and detention centers not only recently, but for years. Although their number is decreasing and is no longer as spectacular as it used to be, an attack on one’s own body is still perceived as a challenge in the work of prison staff as well as in the holistically understood resocialization. The aim of this paper was to present the threads which relate to and describe this difficult phenomenon. In addition to showing a theoretical background referring to prison self-aggression, we also presented a statistical analysis of self-aggressive acts, including suicide attempts and deaths caused by selfaggressive, as well as the causes of self-aggression among prisoners.
