Rehabilitation means first and foremost the explicit recognition of a profound moral transformation which makes the young offender feel that he has regained his dignity as a person. It also means that he must reassert himself on a social level, so as to deserve to be accepted everywhere, without any reservation, as an honest and responsible citizen.
La réhabilitation signifie avant tout la reconnaissance explicite d'une transformation morale profonde qui a permis au jeune contrevenant, en tant que personne, de retrouver le sentiment de sa dignité humaine et, sur le plan social, de se revaloriser suffisamment pour mériter d'être accueilli partout, sans la moindre réserve, comme un citoyen intègre et responsable.
