Drawing up a sentence adjustment plan \u2013 which is a broader concept than his American counterpart, the probation -is a difficult stage for prisoners and their families, who are faced with a complex and often discouraging procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n BRAUN Avocats assists prisoners and their families throughout the sentence adjustment process:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n No, it is entirely possible for the criminal court to impose a sentence adjustment “<\/span>ab initio”, i<\/span><\/i>.e. as soon as the court hands down the sentence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The principle is as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n Consequently, choosing a law firm with expertise in sentence adjustment law is useful right from the time of the court hearing.<\/span><\/p>\n A number of factors are taken into account by the judge when deciding on sentence adjustment. Here is a non-exhaustive list of the main factors taken into account by judges:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Good behavior:<\/b><\/p>\n – The absence of incidents in detention, Rehabilitation efforts undertaken in detention :\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n – Compensation for victims through regular voluntary payments, Developing an out-of-home reintegration project:<\/b><\/p>\n There are 5 main sentence adjustments that can be applied for:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n It is quite possible to benefit from a shorter sentence, under the terms of a temporary or escorted release.<\/span><\/p>\n Temporary absences: <\/b>These are authorizations given to a convicted offender to leave a prison establishment for a specified period. Their purpose is to enable the convicted person to begin or continue his or her professional or social reintegration, to maintain family ties or to fulfill an obligation requiring his or her presence.<\/span><\/p>\n Escorted exit permits: <\/b>These are issued only in exceptional cases, for compelling medical reasons, to visit a dying relative, or to visit the grave of a deceased relative.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Sentence splitting and ordinary suspension allow convicts to serve their sentences in several alternating sequences of stays outside and stays in detention. Both systems can be used for medical, family, professional or social reasons requiring the offender’s presence on the outside.<\/span><\/p>\n Sentence splitting<\/b>: The purpose of sentence splitting is to reduce the impact of the sentence by allowing the offender to serve it in fractions rather than all at once. It can be scheduled over defined periods.<\/span><\/p>\n Suspension of sentence: <\/b>This differs from fractioning in that the end of the suspension is not determined in advance; it depends on the evolution of the person’s situation, and therefore cannot be planned. It also exists in a special form, the <\/span>medical suspension of sentence, <\/b>due to the particularly worrying state of health of the detainee.<\/span><\/p>\n Caution<\/span>: Unlike long-term sentence adjustments, these procedures have the effect of pausing the flow of the hourglass, so that periods of suspension are not deducted from the sentence still to be served.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the playwright Octave Mirbeau, \u00ab <\/span>business is business \u00bb. <\/span><\/i> Criminal business law<\/strong> law is a technical field in which particular expertise and competence are required.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"off","neve_meta_content_width":70,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","neve_meta_reading_time":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[81,82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-criminal-law","category-home-en"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
