Serving of Sentence of Imprisonment

Article 86

(1) The offenders shall serve the sentence of imprisonment in prison prescribed by the statute.

(2) The offenders shall be placed in the above-mentioned prisons according to the degree of deprivation of liberty.

(3) The sentence of imprisonment up to nine months may be substituted with house detention. The court shall decide on substitute house detention with a decision, in which it shall determine that the offender may not leave the building of his permanent or temporary residence or a public institution for medical treatment or care. The court may exceptionally allow the offender to leave the premises of house detention for a definite period of time, when it is absolutely necessary to ensure vital necessities of life, medical assistance, or to perform work. If the offender leaves the building of house detention without the court’s prior consent or outside allowed time, the court may decide that the imposed sentence of imprisonment shall be executed.

(4) The sentence of imprisonment may also be implemented so that the offender in the period of maximum two years performs community service in the amount of minimum eighty and maximum four hundred and eighty hours. The community service shall be distributed in a way not to disturb the offender's obligations of his employment relationship. Such form of implementation shall be decided by the court, which ordered the sentence at the first instance, considering the objective and subjective circumstances of the perpetrator and his consent with this kind of implementation of the sentence. The sentence of imprisonment, which was imposed on the perpetrator for the criminal offence against sexual inviolability, cannot be substituted by community service. If the offender does not fulfil the tasks arising from performing community service, the court may order the execution of the sentence of imprisonment.
