UNDERSTANDING PARDONS IN CT

A FRESH START THROUGH LEGAL FORGIVENESS

A pardon in Connecticut represents a legal exoneration for a crime, effectively allowing for the expungement of criminal records and restoring an individual's civil rights. Known as a "Clean Slate Pardon," this form of relief can remove various civil impediments such as barriers to employment and voting, which are often consequences of having a criminal record. Connecticut offers two main types of pardons: the absolute pardon and the conditional pardon. An absolute pardon in CT completely erases the criminal record, while a conditional pardon may come with terms and still be visible to law enforcement agencies.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the benefit of a Clean Slate Pardon?

    The Clean Slate Pardon in Connecticut is designed to offer individuals a second chance by erasing offenses from their criminal records. This type of pardon is particularly beneficial for overcoming employment hurdles and easing other long-term consequences of a criminal conviction.
