Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyze some normative solutions included in currently applicable Executive Penal Code, which ensure that prisoners sustain contact with the outside world. From among the entire range of instruments, the ones that allow a convict to leave prison walls were discussed. The role of sustaining contact with outside world, with particular emphasis on family ties, was also analyzed. Potential threats resulting from granting of passes or permits to temporarily leave the prison were also indicated, which allowed to formulate de lege ferenda postulates.
