	The paper touches upon the issue of work of persons serving a sentence in Polish penitentiaries. The authors state that a prison is an example of a total institution. Discussing legal, psychological and pedagogical aspects of human work, the specificity of convict labour was analysed considering convicts’ vocational activation, as well as tangible and intangible benefits arising out of the employment undertaken. Ethical and social aspects of work in prison isolation conditions were listed as well.
