Article 723-15-2 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

If the sentenced person does not wish to benefit from an adjustment or conversion of his sentence or if, in the light of the reasoned report from the prison integration and probation service, such an adjustment or conversion does not appear possible, the sentence enforcement judge may set the date of incarceration.

Failing a decision by the sentence enforcement judge within six months of the communication of the copy of the decision, as well as in the cases provided for by Article 723-16, the public prosecutor may bring back the sentence for enforcement.

If, unless there is a legitimate reason or an appeal is lodged, the sentence enforcement judge informs the public prosecutor, who then carries out the sentence.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 723-15-2

Si le condamné ne souhaite pas bénéficier d’un aménagement ou d’une conversion de sa peine ou si, au vu du rapport motivé du service pénitentiaire d’insertion et de probation, un tel aménagement ou une telle conversion ne lui paraît pas possible, le juge de l’application des peines peut fixer la date d’incarcération.

A défaut de décision du juge de l’application des peines dans les six mois suivant la communication de la copie de la décision, ainsi que dans les cas prévus par l’article 723-16, le ministère public peut ramener la peine à exécution.

Si, sauf motif légitime ou exercice des voies de recours, la personne ne se présente pas aux convocations, le juge de l’application des peines en informe le ministère public qui ramène la peine à exécution.
