Swiss Criminal Code (SCC)

Art. 75SCC from 2022

Art. 75

¹ The execution of sentences must encourage an improvement in the social behaviour of the prison inmates, and in particular their ability to live their lives without offending again. The conditions under which sentences are executed must correspond as far as possible with those of normal life, guarantee the supervision of the prison inmates, counteract the harmful consequences of the deprivation of liberty and take appropriate account of the need to protect the general public, the institution staff and other inmates.

² ...¹⁰³

³ The institution rules shall provide that a sentence management plan be drawn up in consultation with the prison inmate. This plan in particular contains details of the supervision offered, the opportunities to work and receive basic or advanced training, making reparation, relations with the outside world and preparations for release.

⁴ The prison inmate must actively cooperate in resocialisation efforts and the preparations for release.

⁵ Account is taken of the gender-specific concerns and needs of the prison inmates.

⁶ If the prison inmate is released on parole or granted final release and it subsequently comes to light that on his release he was subject to another executable judgment imposing a custodial sentence, execution of that custodial sentence is waived if:

a.

it was not executed concurrently with the other custodial sentence for a reason within the control of the executive authorities;

b.

the prison inmate was able to assume in good faith that on his release he was not subject to another executable judgment imposing a custodial sentence; and

c.

the reintegration of the prison inmates would be prejudiced.

¹⁰³ Repealed by Annex 1 No II 8 of the Criminal Procedure Code of 5 Oct. 2007, with effect from 1 Jan. 2011 (AS 2010 1881; BBl 2006 1085).
