Article 85
Execution of Prison Punishments

The same Saranwal can send the order directly to the said Commander.

If the sentenced person is already detained the Saranwal shall inform the Ministry of Justice about the sentence requesting its execution.

The police shall supervise the regularity of the execution and report to the Saranwal periodically about the behavior of the sentenced person.

If the sentenced person infringes the prescriptions contained in the execution order the Saranwal shall report the case to the competent Court which can replace the adopted sanction with a prison term of original duration.

(e) Such other factors regarding the circumstances of the crime or the person sentenced, or the effective enforcement of the sentence, as may be appropriate in designating the State of enforcement.

In such a case, the costs arising out of the enforcement of a sentence of imprisonment shall be borne by the Court.
