The measures mentioned in articles 712-5,712-6 and 712-7, with the exception of reductions in sentence not leading to immediate release and escorted leave authorisations, may not be granted without a prior psychiatric assessment to a person who has been sentenced to socio-judicial supervision. This expertise is carried out by two experts when the person has been sentenced for the murder, assassination or rape of a minor under the age of fifteen.
This expert assessment determines whether the convicted person is likely to undergo treatment.
When they concern the violent or sexual offences mentioned in article 706-47, the psychiatric assessments ordered prior to sentence adjustment measures in accordance with this article must specifically rule on the risk of the sentenced person reoffending.
A breach of the obligations incumbent upon the sentenced person may give rise, depending on the case, to the issue of the warrants provided for by article 712-17, suspension of the accommodation measure provided for by article 712-18, to the provisional incarceration provided for by article 712-19 or the withdrawal or revocation of the measure provided for by article 712-20, refusing to start or continue the treatment prescribed by the treating doctor and offered to him/her as part of a care order.
