The sentence enforcement judge may provide that the sentence will be served under the regime of home detention under electronic surveillance defined by the Article 132-26 of the Criminal Code 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 home detention measure under electronic surveillance, for a period not exceeding one year. The home detention measure under electronic surveillance may be executed one year before the end of the probationary period provided for in article 729 or one year before the date on which the conditional release provided for in l’article 729-3 is possible.
When the place designated by the sentence enforcement judge is not the sentenced person’s home, the decision to house arrest under electronic surveillance can only be taken with the agreement of the owner of the premises, unless it is a public place.
