Period for Surrendering to Prison
The institution of postponing enforcement at the request of the convicted person is regulated in Article 17 of Law No. 5275 on the Enforcement of Criminal and Security Measures. According to the article, the execution of prison sentences of three years for intentional crimes and five years or less for negligent crimes may be postponed upon the request of the convict who appears upon summons, for a maximum period of two years, not exceeding one year at a time, by the public prosecutor’s office. The postponement may also be subject to the convict providing security or other conditions deemed appropriate. Those convicted of terrorist crimes, crimes committed within the framework of organized crime, and crimes against sexual integrity, those subject to the execution regime applicable to repeat offenders, and those sentenced to disciplinary or coercive imprisonment are not eligible for postponement of execution.
