Abstrakt:

In the 1920s there were almost thirty thousand prisoners in Poland, and by the next decade the number grew to nearly fifty thousand a year. In 1918–1939 several hundred thousand, probably more than a million citizens of the Second Polish Republic passed through its prisons. The present book is the first monograph in Polish historiography attempting to answer the questions: who those people were, why they were imprisoned and what their life looked like within the confined space of the prison. The monograph is based on almost three thousand personal files of inmates (only men) imprisoned in one of the largest prisons of interwar Poland, Mokotów Penitentiary in Warsaw. The prison population, due to the universal character of the Mokotów Prison, is regarded as representative of the totality of prisoners in the largest Polish prisons at that time (the so-called first class prisons, that is the over 450-inmate prisons: there were over thirty such prisons in interwar Poland, and their inmates made ca. the third of the total number of prisoners).
