In this phase, establishing reformation-oriented and treatment-oriented courses, evaluating the effectiveness, priority in reformation and changing and specializing reformation are considered prominent. Paying profound attention to practical functions of reformatting mechanisms that being used in the stage of implementing imprisonment in Iran and Canada indicates that rather on first strategy that had given the most effort, in other cases Iran’s reformation system, unlike Canada’s, has weaknesses and lack of attention.
