At least once a year, and even in the absence of a request from the persons concerned, the sentence enforcement judge shall examine in good time the situation of convicted persons eligible for conditional release so that they may be eligible for the measure as soon as they meet the conditions laid down by law. In the case provided for in the second paragraph of Article 730, the sentence enforcement judge may refer the matter to the sentence enforcement court if he considers that the measure may be granted.
Unless it is intended to attach the benefit of the measure to one of the conditions provided for in 3° and 4° of Article D. 535, the examination provided for in the previous paragraph focuses on the sentenced person’s efforts at social rehabilitation based on their personal, family or social situation.
As far as is necessary, additional information is gathered by the prison integration and probation service in the place where the offender wishes to establish his residence.
