Journal Title: Theory and Practice of Social Systems Management - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The author of the publication is a practitioner who has been working in the Prison Service for over 20 years. Among his professional experiences, a special place is occupied by those connected with the issue of hospice voluntary service of persons deprived of their liberty. The subject of the article is to present a bold idea carried out in Polish prisons, consisting of preparing and directing prisoners to help the terminally ill pass away in a dignified manner. The implementation of this program is very difficult and involves great responsibility. However, many years of experience-hospice staff, employees of prisons, members of patients’ families and firstly, patients-confirm that this is a very good direction for activating convicts who have an opportunity to experience their humanity on a daily basis. Hospice, contact with other people, contact with patients-all this transforms their thinking, behavior, allows it to verify the hierarchy of personal values. An added value is also the opportunity reintegrate people who are not related to penitentiary isolation into the community. This experience is powerful for the prisoners and therefore very moving and transformative.
