If the sentenced person has already been remanded in custody, the sentence enforcement judge who receives a copy of the decision pursuant to article 723-15 examines the situation of the person concerned with regard to any reductions in sentence that may be granted in respect of the incarceration undergone while in pre-trial detention.
The decision is then taken without the prior opinion of the Sentence Enforcement Commission, but, unless it is urgent or impossible to do so, after consulting the head of the institution in which the convicted person was imprisoned and on the basis of a socio-educational summary drawn up by the relevant probation service in that institution.
If, as a result of any sentence reductions granted by the sentence enforcement judge, there is no remaining time to serve, the sentence enforcement judge will inform the public prosecutor after carrying out the formalities provided for in Article D. 147-13.
