AB - 
	Self-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.
