For sentences up to one year of imprisonment, the court may, due to the obligations of the convict in relation to work, education, qualification or professional training, essential family responsibilities or the need for medical treatment or rehabilitation, decide the execution of the sentence in open prisons.
The convict serving the sentence in open prison is obliged to return to prison, after carrying out responsibilities outside of prison, within the deadline set out by the court.
When the convict does not fulfill the obligations according to this article, Article 62 of this Code shall apply.
