specified term according to the provisions relating to the offence in question. The general provisions on minimum and maximum fixed terms of imprisonment state that imprisonment cannot be ordered for less than 30 days or more than 16 years.
A prisoner serving a fixed term sentence of imprisonment may be released conditionally on expiry of two thirds of the term or, where particular circumstances warrant it, after having served half the term. Conditional release cannot be granted unless the prisoner has served at least two months of his term nor may it be granted if the prisoner has less than 30 days left to serve or if a release is considered inadvisable in view of the prisoner's circumstances. There are no provisions about the conditional release of a prisoner serving a life sentence.
The law relating to prisons and imprisonment provides that when deciding in which penal institution imprisonment is to take place account should be taken of the age and sex of the prisoner, where he lives and his criminal record.
b. Simple detention is ordered for a specified term ranging from five days to two years. The same rules apply regarding conditional release as in the case of imprisonment.
c. Security measures may under certain conditions be imposed on abnormal offenders who are exempted from punishment owing to irresponsibility and to persons who, because of psychic abnormality, are considered impervious to influence through punishment. Such sentences involving security measures and implying deprivation of liberty are indeterminate and are served in a special institution or a hospital. Their termination requires a court order.
