The Canadian judicial and penal systems emphasize the social reintegration of offenders. However, we must recognize that there is a discrepancy between this philosophy and reality: in the community, people who have been sentenced are confronted with a series of restrictive elements.

Knowing that the sentence ordered to an individual has been carried out, why inflict a second sanction that compromises his social and community reintegration?

More than 15 years ago, the Comité consultatif clientèle judiciarisée adulte (CCCJA) initiated, in collaboration with the Association des services de réhabilitation sociale du Québec (ASRSQ), a training and awareness project entitled "Les impacts du casier judiciaire".
