Granting Parole to Prisoners in the Criminal Law of Iran and France

Iran's legislator has long since accepted the judicial establishment of parole and has taken effective steps in the implementation of the policy of decriminalization and in particular removing of imprisonment, which can help the convict and society to reform and educate him/her and encourage her/him to definitely return to her/him family and community. Of course, this action requires the reform and creation of infrastructures in the judicial system and the organization of prisons. In French criminal law, the institution of parole is one of the most important aspects of the criminal justice system, which focuses on the resocialization of the convict. Although the prison sentence, in addition to general deterrence, provides social defense, especially in serious crimes, but with the passage of time, society gets used to the severity and violence of those punishments, and when the society is no longer deterred by those punishments as expected by the legislator, it It's time that the personal and social disadvantages of prison make the society suffer from the inflation of the criminal population and increasing decriminalization. Paying attention to the parole system as one of the first generation measures of alternatives to imprisonment and an important issue in the direction of reform and rehabilitation, considering its wide effectiveness, is still involved in some differences of interpretations in terms of substantive and formal provisions which is the correct way of granting It has sometimes faced ambiguities.
