The author presents the results of research aimed to show parental attitudes of fathers serving the penalty of imprisonment in the penitentiary unit. In the research two questionnaires were used: Questionnaire of the Parental Attitudes by M. Ziemska and the authorial questionnaire. Inclusively there were 153 imprisoned and 137 without criminal records fathers. The analysis of the scientific research revealed that imprisoned fathers typify statistically higher level of helplessness and emotional concentration than control group consisting of fathers without criminal records. In terms of distance there was no difference. Furthermore, it was revealed that in the field of predominance, concen-tration, distance and helplessness both research groups evince educationally unwanted intensity of particular attitudes. This research acknowledges the problem of parental attitudes of imprisoned fathers but also, they can be the encourage-ment for undertaking another research projects connected with this issue.
