The path of integration into society is a complex and challenging one. Immediately after completion of a prison sentence, the moment when the prison walls are left behind, individuals are tasked with confronting a new reality that is vastly different from the one to which they have become accustomed. There are many factors that prove to be helpful in the readjustment process, one of which is the individual’s attitude towards freedom. The purpose of this article is to examine the relationships between the intensity of the dimensions constituting attitudes towards functioning in conditions of freedom in prisoners and the perceived sources of self-efficacy. The study was conducted in the Lublin Voivodeship, on a group of 116 prisoners. The results show that the emotional dimension of attitudes towards freedom correlates in a statistically significant way with the perception of experienced achievements, the intensity of experienced stress and external persuasion.
