دور المؤسسات العقابية في إعادة إدماج المحبوسين في التشريع الجزائري

Abstract

This study addresses a highly significant topic within modern criminal policy, namely the contribution of correctional institutions to the process of social reintegration of prisoners in Algeria. It examines the legislative and regulatory frameworks governing these institutions and analyzes the effectiveness of rehabilitation, sychological, and vocational training programs. The study is based on the central hypothesis that correctional institutions, as rehabilitative and educational spaces, do not merely serve punitive functions but also aim to prepare inmates for a responsible and socially integrated life post-incarceration. The objective is to assess the alignment of Algeria's reintegration policies with international human rights standards, their effectiveness in reducing recidivism, and their overall impact on social security. A combined scientific methodology was adopted. The descriptive and analytical method was used to examine legal and regulatory texts, while the comparative method allowed for an evaluation of the Algerian experience in light of international best practices in rehabilitative justice. Data were collected through content analysis of legislation, official reports issued by the Ministry of Justice and prison administration, academic and legal literature reviews, and semi-structured interviews with experts in criminology and criminal law. This comprehensive approach aims to evaluate the real impact of correctional policies and identify the challenges that hinder effective social reintegration in the Algerian context.
