This punishment is the legislative history of Iran's penal law, explaining the thoughts of supporters and opponents to evaluate the weaknesses and strengths of this punishment.
The question that arises in this article is, what is the opinion of the Iranian legislator regarding imprisonment?

Imprisonment should be fundamentally revised in the amount and number of criminal titles leading to imprisonment, and the judges handling the cases should be encouraged to use alternative punishments.
