Summary/Abstract: Rehabilitation represents the right of a convicted person to be considered a person who has not committed a criminal offense after a certain period of time has passed since serving the sentence, and under conditions determined by law. So, the purpose of rehabilitation is to stop the negative effect of the legal consequences of the conviction, and in this way to make the ex-convict equal in all rights with other citizens. In the paper, the authors talk about the concept, types and historical development of the rehabilitation system. They indicate problems related to rehabilitation, as well as differences compared to similar criminal justice institutes, which can create confusion in the understanding of this institute. In the largest part of the work, they give an overview of the current solutions in the regulations of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Serbia, emphasizing important similarities and differences between the aforementioned solutions and pointing to specific institutes, criminal records and special registers of specific perpetrators of certain criminal acts.
