Abstract

Based on the experience of the „Mateusz” Readaptive Center in Toruń, the “Dąbrowski method”, a new approach to people leaving penitentiary institutions, is presented. Th is approach involves so-called “post-penitentiary first-aid”, consisting of creating conditions that enable “positive adaptation” characterized by 1) clear and simple rules, 2) individual approach, 3) small number of same-sex residents, 4) empowerment of residents, 5) special personal traits of the person leading the centre, 6) particular style of leadership.
