THE SCOPE OF TASKS OF PRISON SERVICE INTERVENTION GROUPS IN ENSURING SAFETY FOR OTHER PRISON SERVICE OFFICERS AND INMATES – SELECTED ISSUES

Summary/Abstract: The Prison Service Intervention Groups (GISW) are one of the key entities guaranteeing a sense of security in facilities supervised by the Service in the event of extraordinary situations. Their specialised training, skills and equipment guarantee the performance of assigned tasks in a way that minimises the risk of potential threats to the life and health of inmates. In the literature, GISW units are very rarely analysed due to the limited access to information resulting from their elite character. The author considers it justified to point out the role of the described formation in guaranteeing security for Prison Service officers and inmates themselves in penitentiary institutions and remand centres, in order to highlight the need to increase the resources devoted to developing this formation. The article aims to theoretically outline the role and character of the GISW within the framework of ensuring security.
