Criminal Rehabilitation: What It Is and How to Obtain It

Criminal rehabilitation is a fundamental legal procedure for those who wish to regain their civil rights after serving a sentence. This process allows for the cancellation of the legal effects of a conviction, including accessory penalties, and restores the individual's reputation.

How Criminal Rehabilitation Works

The rehabilitation procedure is provided for by the Italian penal code and allows for the extinguishing of accessory penalties and other penal effects of the conviction. Certain requirements and timeframes must be met before a request can be submitted.

• Time Requirements: At least three years must have passed since the day the main penalty was served or otherwise extinguished (eight years for aggravated repeat offenders, ten for habitual offenders).
• Behavior: The individual must have provided substantial and consistent evidence of good conduct.
• Restitution of Damage: It is essential that the convicted person has fulfilled the civil obligations arising from the offense.

The Rehabilitation Process

The rehabilitation process begins with a request submitted to the Surveillance Court of the individual's place of residence. Once accepted, the rehabilitation order is recorded in the criminal record, eliminating the negative effects of the conviction.

"Criminal rehabilitation does not erase the conviction, but eliminates its prejudicial effects."
