Par «traitement pénitentiaire», on entend communément, de nos jours, l'ensemble des procédés mis en œuvre à l'égard des délinquants dans l'objectif d’éviter qu'ils persistent dans leurs agissements répréhensibles, une fois la condamnation subie. [...] «Le traitement pénitentiaire, a dit un éminent spécialiste belge, consiste à donner à un détenu adulte la formation générale qu'il aurait dû recevoir»(P. Cornil). Il s’agit là d’une attitude nouvelle à l'égard du délinquant. Se traduisant par un effort positif en vue de faire de lui un être socialement utile, elle contraste avec l'attitude purement défensive adoptée jusqu'alors et élargit considérablement l'horizon des institutions traditionnelles. 2, record 3, French, - traitement%20correctionnel
