In order to improve the enforcement of court statements and to clarify the excusable reason for failure to attend by convicts, the change is to be adopted to the law on Non-imprisonment Penalty Enforcement Rule and Probation. According to the Deputy-Minister of Corrections and Legal Assistance, Grigol Giorgadze noted, the list of excusable reason for absence of convict shall be added with the conscription. As to the probation period, the changes are to be adopted to the Criminal Code and the upper level shall decrease to 6 years instead of 7. “A probation convict cannot be under supervision during 41 years”, - G. Giorgadze stated. The restriction will onset from January 1, 2015. The Committee considered the changes to the law on Struggle Against Narcotic Crimes. Currently, the Standing Commission of the National Probation Agency considers the restoration of deprived rights and reduction of deprivation terms. As G. Giorgadze stated, it is a problem for the persons who were sentenced with imprisonment. “The term of deprivation of rights of these persons starts from release. Thus, Commission cannot obtain objective information about his/her behavior”, - he stated.
