We inform you about the entry into force of the Law of the Donetsk People’s Republic No. 295-IIHC dated 04.06.2021 “On Amendments to the Criminal Code of the Donetsk People’s Republic”.
These changes are aimed at improving the situation of pregnant women and women with a child under three years of age, that is in a children’s home at a correctional facility, who are sentenced to imprisonment for committing a crime of minor gravity.
Thus, Conditional early release (parole) from serving a sentence can be applied only after aconvicted pregnant woman or a woman who has a child under the age of three, that is in a children’s home at a correctional facility, has actually served at least 1/4 of the sentence imposed for a crime of minor gravity.
The unserved part of the punishment may be replaced by a milder type of punishment after such persons have actually served at least 1/4 of the penalty.
Conditional early release can also be applied to a pregnant woman or a woman with a child under the age of three, that is in a children’s home at a correctional facility, who has been convicted to sentences of imprisonment, and who has committed an offence as a minor, after having actually served at least ¼ of the penal imposed for a crime of minor gravity.
