REENTRY SUPPORT IN COMMUNITY LEGAL ACCESS POINTS: A LAWYER'S PERSPECTIVE

Résumé

Imprisonment cuts off inmates from society. The lack of social, family, or professional bonds leaves inmates feeling empty, forgotten and left out. Time behind bars, regardless of its duration, causes disruption. Not only do inmates have their rights temporarily suspended, but they also experience their accelerated loss – in terms of housing, employment, family, or residence on French territory, etc. Life in prison has an inherent " unsocializing " effect on inmates in that it structures their lives for them and robs them of a large part of their daily responsibilities. However, sentences are finite, and men and women behind bars eventually return to the community… They must literally re-learn to live and function in society. Recently, a man released after serving a ten-year sentence remained prostrate in front of the office door after an interview with SPIP (1) officers in Paris, waiting for the authorization to open the door. He was no longer used to doing things himself.
