Abstract

Criminal law jurists have been searching for alternatives to short- term custodial sentences, the aim of which is to reform the convict and discipline him away from correctional and rehabilitation centers, and to avoid corrupt mixing inside prisons. There is no doubt that short- term custodial sentences are not sufficient to achieve general deterrence, and are not suitable for deterrence. Special punishment, which makes this punishment fall short of achieving its goals. Therefore, the Libyan legislator took a set of alternatives, including stopping the implementation of the punishment as an alternative to short- term custodial punishments. Lt is intended as a description that responds to the criminal ruling issued a specific punishment and strips it of its executive power. If the implementation is suspended, it will not be completed. By force of law, but by the fulfillment of its conditions, and that is left to the discretion of the court.
