Advocates fought to ban incarcerating people in provincial jail on “immigration hold” who have committed no crimes and are simply there for administrative reasons. Instead of not incarcerating them, the government is planning on federal prison instead cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

Contribuez à réduire la stigmatisation pour les gens ayant un casier judiciaire en utilisant un langage centré sur la personne et non sur ses actions. Dites « personne qui réintègre la société », « personne ayant vécu l’incarcération » ou « personne ayant un casier judiciaire ».

Language matters! The University of Toronto's Criminological Highlights Vol 20 No 6 (2023) also suggests "returning citizen" as a palatable, inclusive term that might foster greater support in our #communities. crimhighlights.ca/criminological… #Stigma #Reintegration #PeopleFirst
