The Quebec government considers program evaluations to be a necessity if public organizations are to monitor and improve their performances (Lalande, 2010). However, relatively few evaluations are conducted in prisons, despite the important need for programs in such an environment (Cortoni & Lafortune, 2009). The numerous challenges that face researchers who attempt such evaluations may partially explain the reluctance to undertake them. This article traces and explains the process used by a team of researchers in evaluating an addiction program in a provincial prison. Th e article describes the challenges and problems faced by the team and the strategies that were implemented to overcome these challenges. Resume : Pour le gouvernement du Quebec, l’evaluation de programme est incontournable pour que les organisations rendent compte de leurs performances et les ameliorent (Lalande, 2010). Pourtant, peu de demarches evaluatives sont realisees en contexte carceral, malgre les besoins importants (Cortoni & Lafortune, 2009), les nombreux defi s qui y guettent les chercheurs pouvant expliquer la reticence de plusieurs chercheurs. L’experience d’une equipe de recherche a travers l’evaluation d’un programme specialise en toxicomanie off ert dans un etablissement de detention quebecois est presentee afi n d’illustrer les diff erents defi s auxquels elle fut confrontee, mais surtout, de quelles facons ces defi s ont ete surmontes.
