Tendency to Imprisonment and exacerbation of prisons’ problems in the mirror of Note of Article added to War against Narcotic Drugs Act

Nowadays, increase of prison population (convicted criminals for narcotic drugs and psychedelics) is an important aspect of the problem of narcotic drugs and psychedelics. Considering the studies’ results and experiences of the past, therefore, it is reasonably prospected that policies in this aspect should be revised. In the viewpoint of incarceration penalty, however, not only the prospect has not been occurred, but the penal policy of narcotic drugs and psychedelics over imprisonment has been exacerbated in the middle of 1390 decade with ratification of Acts that was favorable with the last incarcerating policies including the note of Article added to narcotic drugs and psychedelics Act that represents severity and tendency to imprisonment. This article by descriptive-analytical method examines reasons and quality of the Act and evaluates it with the viewpoint of decarceration policy and concludes that the Act enacted for satisfying adherents of execution and to response to their populist applications of penalty, instead of relying on jurisprudential-legal bases or scientific reasons. The Act develops and strengths tendency to imprisonment on the contrary to general policies of the State, development programs, and approach of the statutes. It also confronts criminal justice system with several problems like increase of prison population, increase of costs of prisons, raise of problems of convicted person’s family and engagement of juveniles in criminal justice system.
