Article abstractThe first part of this article deals with alternative solutions to imprisonment,emphasizing Pierre Landreville’s influence on Québec’s correctional policiesover the past decades. The author then sets out conditional sentencingmeasures implemented in Canada in 1996 with the goal of reducing the use ofincarceration. In spite of the fact that conditional sentencing provides themeans to be a credible and efficient alternative measure, it has been criticizedof late by a conservative way of thinking that aims to reduce the granting ofconditional sentences. The third and final section of the paper relates a fewobstacles to alternative measures, notably the fact that they are constantlybeing compared to incarceration, that they are not well understood by thepublic and, lastly, that they are discredited by proponents of “law and order.”
