Compulsory psychiatric treatment and custody in a health institution
Article 63
(1) The court shall impose a compulsory psychiatric treatment and custody in a health
institution to the offender who committed a crime in state of mental incompetence or of
significantly decreased mental competence, if it determines that due to such state the
offender may commit crime again and that for the removal of this danger, it is necessary to
treat him and put him under custody in such an institution.
(2) The court shall terminate the measure referred to in item 1 when it determines that the
need for treatment and custody of the offender in a health institution has ceased.
(3) For the offender who has committed a crime in a state of significantly decreased mental
competence and who is sentenced to imprisonment, the time passed in a health institution
is calculated in the time of duration of the pronounced sentence. If this time is shorter than
the duration of the pronounced sentence, the court may determine to send the convicted
to serve out the remainder of the sentence, or to release him on probation, regardless of
the conditions prescribed in Article 36. When deciding on releasing on probation, the court
shall especially consider the success of the treatment of the convicted, his health condition,
the time passed in the health institution, and the remainder of the sentence which the
convicted has not served.
(4) The court shall review the need for treatment and custody of the offender in a health
institution every year.
