English
(1) Where a prisoner has served two-thirds of a sentence of
imprisonment or twenty years in case of life imprisonment, the
Court may, on the recommendation of the management of the
institution or on the petition of the criminal, order conditional
release:
(a) if, during the requisite period of performance of the
penalty or the measure entailing loss of liberty, the
criminal, by his work and conduct, gave tangible proof of
his improvement; and
(b) if he has repaired, as far as he could reasonably be
expected to do, the damage found by the Court or agreed
with the aggrieved party; and
(c) if the character and behaviour of the criminal warrant the
assumption that he will be of good conduct when released
and that the measure will be effective.
(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, conditional release
shall not be granted to persistent recidivists.
