The sentence enforcement judge may provide that the sentence will be served under the semi-liberty or work release scheme either in the event of a sentence of one or more custodial sentences whose total duration does not exceed two years, or where the sentenced person still has to serve one or more custodial sentences whose total duration does not exceed two years.
The sentence enforcement judge may also make the conditional release of the convicted offender subject to the execution, on a probationary basis, of a semi-liberty or work release measure, for a period not exceeding one year. The semi-liberty or work release measure may be executed one year before the end of the probation period provided for in article 729 or one year before the date on which the conditional release provided for in Article 729-3.
This Article shall not apply to persons convicted of one or more of the offences referred to in Articles 421-1 to 421-6 of the Criminal Code, excluding those defined in Articles 421-2-5 to 421-2-5-2 of the same code.
