Abstract

The article addresses the issue of support for prisoners' families. Its aim was to examine the possibilities of providing support to the families of individuals deprived of liberty by selected entities from the public and private sectors. To achieve the intended goal, the method of analysis and synthesis was employed.
The research findings include the identification of key sources of assistance from both sectors. The results showed that the individual units belonging to these sectors are decentralized and have limited influence. Consequently, at least two recommendations emerged: the necessity of establishing a central institution/organization to coordinate the actions of other entities and the creation of extraordinary pastoral care (both categorical and situational) to offer support to the families of incarcerated individuals with various confessional orientations.
