Iranian judges have handed creative alternatives to imprisonment for lesser included crimes. Criminals charged with misdemeanors can now do community services instead of going to jail.
A movie director in Iran's province of Khorasan Razavi was sentenced to producing a documentary about the wildlife. He was convicted of poaching. Such sentences are now becoming a trend in Iran; they are called imprisonment alternative punishment or community sentencing. It is a form of punishment that a court can impose on a defendant other than a jail term. But judges in Iran have recently tapped into a new law that allows for more creative replacements for incarceration, with a focus on environment conservation activities such as tree-planting.
