We study the effect of confinement on the spin polarization of holes bound to Mn acceptors in paramagnetic GaAs:Mn/AlAs multiple quantum wells. It is demonstrated that the polarization of these bound holes is governed by the properties of the host material rather than by quantum confinement. The theory of a single Mn acceptor in a quantum well is developed, and the polarization in the limit of zero temperature is calculated.
