Abstract

Principally, the tools available in the prison, as well as the actions and measurements of the prison authorities, are aimed at correcting and rehabilitating prisoners. Today, most countries in the world, with all kinds of government and level of development, have come to realize that inmate inflation in prisons is increasing day by day, and prison sentences are finally coming to a standstill in spite of the fact that all countries around the world are trying to correct and train criminals, and to make arrangements for all prisoners not to return to prison after their release or al least to reduce the rate of return to prison. It should always be emphasized that prisons are dynamic institutions that human beings are among the most important and constituent elements of it. It should be borne in mind that prisons do not consist solely of buildings, fences, walls, and in one word inanimate beings. Therefore, prison failure or success cannot be managed solely by means of guidelines, laws, and by-laws that enacted by the state. It should be noted that human elements must be considered at every stage. The research and data collection method in this study is descriptive with reference to library resources, articles, rules, regulations and bylaws.
