Are Past Convictions Shadowing Your Future?

Our Mission: The Connecticut Pardon Team, Inc. provides tools and information to help change the lives of individuals who:

Were formerly convicted of a crime
Who have successfully completed their parole and / or probation
Who have made significant steps toward rebuilding their lives and have taken positive action to rehabilitate themselves
Who are taking a proactive role in giving back to their communities
Who are setting an exceptional example for other convicted persons
Who have remained conviction-free for the term prescribed by law

The Connecticut Pardon Team has provided information and education to thousands of individuals since 2004 which has helped them determine their eligibility to apply for a non-inmate pardon. By raising public awareness of the process of applying for a Pardon, and the procedures surrounding the Pardon Process, we have helped to publicize the process and make it more visible:

Applicants can be considered up to 4 times per year, instead of only 2 times per year
Legislation has been passed which requires the Pardon Board to give a reason for denial to the petitioner
Documentation requirements have been reduced and simplified, and there are two full-time investigators who assist the Pardon Board and interface with applicants
Hearings are now being held at Judicial Districts throughout the state 4 times per year instead of petitioners being forced to travel to Hartford, Connecticut. Click here to see the schedule of hearings.

Special Note Pertaining to Employment Applications

You are not required to disclose the existence of any arrest, criminal charge or conviction, the records of which have been erased pursuant to Connecticut General Statues § 46b-146, 54-76o, or 54-142a. If your criminal records have been erased pursuant to one of these statues, you may swear under oath that you have never been arrested. Criminal records that may be erased are records pertaining to a finding of delinquency or that a child was a member of a family with service needs (C.G.S § 46b-146), an adjudication as a youthful offender (C.G.S. §54-76o), a criminal charge that has been dismissed or nolled, a criminal charge for which the person has been found not guilty or a conviction for which the person received an absolute pardon (C.G.S. § 54-142a).
