Execution of imprisonment during the COVID-19 epidemic

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the relationships related to the execution of a custodial sen-tence in the period of an epidemic threat or state of epidemic announced due to COVID-19 – a break in the execution of a custodial sentence, placing a convict in an appropriate treatment facility and ”remote” treatment penitentiary court. These solutions have been in force until now, but it is postulated that the court will not be able to hold meetings in executive proceed-ings in a ”remote” form ”permanently”.
