In the book, the author points out the lack of serious attempts to modernize the prison system and adapt it to the requirements of the modern era. He critically assesses the amendments to the Prison Service Act of 2010, which, in his opinion, constitute a step backwards, petrifying the existing situation and focusing on corporate privileges. Lasocik emphasizes that Poland still does not have a modern law on the organization of the prison system, which is curious, considering that the institution managing the Polish prison system is the Central Board of the Prison Service, and not the prison system.
