ANALYSIS OF THE KEY ROLE OF THE PUBLIC PRESECUTOR (STATE ATTORNEY) IN POLAND IN DECIDING WHETHER TO ALLOW THE CONDITIONAL RELEASE OF AN INMATE AS DETERMINED BY DECISIONS OF THE CORRECTIONAL COURT.

Abstract

SINCE 1969 RELEASE OF MULTIPLE RECIDIVISTS HAVE NOT BEEN GRANTED EXCEPT IN EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES. ANALYSIS OF COURT RECORDS SHOW THAT THE STATE ATTORNEYS HAVE NOT YET GRANTED THE RELEASE OF ANY MULTIPLE RECIDIVISTS AND THEREFORE HAVE NOT EXERCIZED THEIR AUTHORITY TO DEFINE THE SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH WOULD JUSTIFY IT. --IN POLISH.
