Measures concerning the increase in the security period, conditional release or suspension of sentence which do not fall within the jurisdiction of the sentence enforcement judge are granted, postponed, refused, withdrawn or revoked by reasoned judgment of the sentence enforcement court hearing the case at the request of the sentenced person, at the request of the public prosecutor or on the initiative of the sentence enforcement judge to whom the sentenced person is subject pursuant to the provisions of l’article 712-10.
The judgements of the sentence enforcement court are handed down, after the opinion of the prison administration representative, following an adversarial debate held in chambers, during which the court hears the prosecution’s case and the sentenced person’s observations and, where applicable, those of his lawyer. If the convicted person is detained, this hearing may take place in the prison. The provisions of Article 706-71 may be applied.
