Introduction of probation service will enable to save funds
Probation service arranges and implements criminal punishments which are not related to imprisonment and exercises control over the implementation process, Armenian Minister of Justice Hovhannes Manukyan said on Tuesday.
According to the Minister, the introduction of probation service will be an important step in terms of improving the efficiency of criminal justice in the country. “In all likelihood, we will carry out the organization work by the end of the year,” he said.
In his words, the introduction of probation service will also enable to save funds as savings on the cost of imprisoning all offenders are expected.
