(3) The discontinuance or substitution of an institutional educational measure by another type of institutional
educational measure shall be subject to the following restrictions:
a) Enforcement of the educational measure of committal to an educational institution may not be

substituted by the educational measure of committal to an educational-reformatory home or the
educational measure of committal to some other training institution;
b) Enforcement of the educational measure of committal to an educational-reformatory home may not

educational measure of committal to an educational-reformatory home may be discontinued or be substituted
by some other measure even before the expiration of the deadlines referred to in paragraph 3, items a) and b)
of this Article if special circumstances that relate to the personality of the juvenile manifestly show that the
purpose of these measures has been attained.
Article 98
Reconsideration of Educational Measures
(1) The court shall reconsider the need of enforcing the educational measure imposed if more than one year
has elapsed since the day when the decision imposing an educational measure of intensified supervision or
an institutional educational measure came into force, and if until such time the enforcement of the measure
has not commenced. Reconsidering it, the court may decide that the previously imposed measure be
enforced, not enforced or substituted with another measure.
(2) The educational measure of committal to a disciplinary centre for juveniles shall not be executed if more
than six months have elapsed since the day when the decision imposing the measure came into force, and if
the enforcement of the measure has not yet commenced.
Article 99
Punishment of Senior Juveniles
Punished may be only a criminally responsible senior juvenile, who has perpetrated a criminal offence
for which a punishment of imprisonment for a term exceeding five years has been prescribed and if it would
not be justifiable to apply an educational measure because of the grave consequences of the offence
perpetrated and the high degree of criminal responsibility.
Article 100
Juvenile Imprisonment
(1) The duration of the punishment of juvenile imprisonment may not be shorter than one or longer than ten
years, and shall be imposed in full years or half-years.
(2) In meting out punishment for a senior juvenile for a criminal offence, the court may not impose juvenile
imprisonment for a term exceeding that of imprisonment prescribed for that particular criminal offence, but
the court shall not be bound by the minimal measure of that punishment prescribed.
Article 101
Meting Out Juvenile Imprisonment
In meting out juvenile imprisonment for a senior juvenile, the court shall take into consideration all
circumstances that may influence the punishment being longer or shorter (Article 49, General Principles of
Meting out Punishments), paying special attention to level of mental development of the juvenile and time
needed for his correction and occupational training.
