Kantonsgericht Entscheid Entscheid/2020/384 vom 12.05.2020 (VD)

Date:	12.05.2020
Force of law:	-

Summary:	X.________, a Swiss citizen convicted of drug trafficking, applied to the penitentiary Enforcement Authority (SVP) for early release. The SVP rejected the request because X.________ had not yet served half of his sentence. X.________ appealed, and the Chambre des recours pénale proved him right. The Board noted that X.________ had made significant progress during his time in custody. He had followed the rules of the SVP and participated in drug therapy. In addition, he had found a job and planned to move into his own apartment after his dismissal. The board concluded that X.________ was no longer at risk of relapse and that he met the requirements for early release. Here is the summary in five sentences: X.________, convicted drug trafficker, applies for early release. SVP rejects application, as X.________ has not yet served half of the sentence. X.________ appeals, and Chambre des recours pénale agrees with him. Chamber annuls SVP decision because X.________ has made progress. X.________ is released early. I hope this is helpful.
