Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with possible ways to implement the reintegration model of serving imprisonment in the reality of Polish penal institutions and remand centres. The study is divided into two major parts. The first one outlines the structure of the European Prison Rules of 2006 as well as the key regulations concerning the issue under investigation. The second part comprises a historical glance at the problem of overcrowded penal institutions in 20th century Poland and a discussion of space norms currently in force in Poland, as seen against space requirements observed by other European countries. The presented work has an indisputable merit of being topical for it provides the latest statistical data (published on 31 January 2014) regarding the number of inmates in all penal institutions nationwide.
