SELECTED TECHNICAL-PROTECTIVE SECURITY MEASURES USED IN PENITENTIARY UNITS

Summary/Abstract: The article provides an extensive analysis of selected technical-protective security measures used in penitentiary institutions and remand centres in Poland. Constant civilisational progress also brings an increase in the number of threats, and consequently the possibility of committing prohibited acts under applicable law. In order to prevent dangers on the premises of penitentiary units, the breaking of laws and regulations by inmates, and to properly separate convicts from the rest of society, the Prison Service uses various means to support the work of its officers. These include, among others, CCTV monitoring, access control, devices for checking persons, luggage, vehicles and cargo, but also standard mechanical elements such as walls, bars, mesh and locks. The author also defined the role of technical-protective security measures, drawing attention to the growing importance of modern technologies in the security system of penitentiary units in the future.
