الآليات القانونية لإعادة إدماج المحبوسين في الجزائر

Abstract EN

Summary The criminal law aims to give the prison sentence three basic things: public deterrence, community-related, and private deterrence, which is to inflict pain on the offender and finally reform it and to reintegrate it into society after the expiry of the sentence.

Hence, the problem of research is to shed light on the legal mechanisms developed by the Algerian legislator for the reintegration of prisoners and applied to them in the environment both inside and outside the prison.

Within the penal institution, the prisoner can conduct studies, education and vocational training, and provide psychological, social and health care, in addition to benefiting from awareness and sensitization sessions.

Outside the punitive institution, the law also grants the detainee a range of mechanisms facilitating his integration into society, including the system of external workshops and the system of midterm freedom, and also if his good conduct and behavior prove to benefit from the conditional release or to spend the rest of his sentence outside the prison.

There is therefore a set of legal mechanisms to focus on the idea of social defense, which makes the application of the penalty of imprisonment a means to protect society through re-education and social integration of detainees.
