Abstract

After suffering punishment, one of the main concerns of the offender is the ability to return to society and enjoy social rights until be protected from hazards such as labeling. Hence the ratification of a comprehensive and far-reaching regulation about the restoration of dignity is one of the important tasks of the legislature. With the adoption of the Islamic Penal Code, it was expected that after specialized bachelors and complains taken to the rules before, Legal material with high precision should be approved until the rights of the community and the delinquent to be secured. By looking at Articles 25 and 26 of the Islamic Penal Code regarding the restoration of dignity, many issues and ambiguities can be cited which its status is not clear in the criminal proceedings and in many cases with false commentary it can lead to delinquent disadvantages. On this basis, the main question is that what ambiguities and challenges are about subordinate punishments. The article is divided into two parts of obstacles including restoration of dignity and delinquency problems during the period after the criminal process. And with a critical look, it sought to answer this question until to highlight these bugs and to try the legislator will correct them in future revisions and eventually judicial authorities, criminals and citizens will be out of wandering.
