Court upheld prison disciplinary fine for inmate who refused work to protest cell change.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court upheld the prison director's disciplinary decision imposing a fine on the inmate for refusing to go to work. The inmate argued he was unfairly punished for saying he didn't care about work and claimed he had the right to resign, but the court found his resignation letter was merely a protest against his cell assignment. The court ruled that since the inmate intentionally refused work while still obligated to do so, the disciplinary measure was justified.
