Release under constraint as of right is applicable even when proceedings are pending before the sentence enforcement courts. On the other hand, it does not apply to persons undergoing sentence adjustment in prison, except when they are placed outside under the supervision of prison staff under the conditions defined in articles D. 129 of the present code and D. 424-10, D. 424-11, D. 424-12 and D. 424-13 of the prison code.
There is no need to apply the provisions of I of article 720 and articles D. 147-17 to D. 147-19 when the sentenced person is eligible for release under constraint as of right.
