Act C of 2012 on the Criminal Code (as in force on 1 April 2022) This document has been produced for informational purposes only. Section 121 (1) If special education in a juvenile correctional institution is ordered, the court shall establish that the juvenile may be released from the juvenile correctional institution temporarily after serving half of his period of special education in a juvenile correctional institution if a) he has served at least one year in the juvenile correctional institution, and b) there is reasonable ground to believe that the objective of the measure can be achieved without any further special education in a juvenile correctional institution. (2) The period of temporary release shall be equal to the remaining period of special education in a juvenile correctional institution, but it may not be shorter than one year. (3) The court shall terminate temporary release if the juvenile is sentenced to imprisonment, with the exception specified in section 122, or special education in a juvenile correctional institution during the period of temporary release. If the court imposes another penalty or applies another measure on the juvenile, temporary release may be terminated. (4) If temporary release is terminated, the period spent on temporary release shall not be credited to the period of special education in a juvenile correctional institution. Section 122 If a juvenile is sentenced to imprisonment to be served during the period of special education in a juvenile correctional institution or of temporary release for a criminal offence committed after he was sentenced to special education in a juvenile correctional institution, the sentence of imprisonment shall be enforced. In such a case, the remaining period of special education in a juvenile correctional institution shall be converted to imprisonment, replacing two days of special education in a juvenile correctional institution by one day of imprisonment. Concurrent sentence and accumulative sentence Section 123 (1) For a juvenile, a concurrent or accumulative sentence shall not exceed imprisonment for a) twenty years in the case specified in section 109 (3) a), b) fifteen years in the cases specified in section 109 (2) a) and (3) b), c) seven years and six months in the cases specified in section 109 (2) b) and (3) c). (2) The term of imprisonment applicable to a juvenile shall not exceed the periods specified in paragraph (1) a) and b), even if section 90 (2) is applied. (3) If special education in a juvenile correctional institution and imprisonment concur, imprisonment shall be enforced as accumulative sentence. The term of such a sentence may be extended by the court by up to one year if doing so is necessary to achieve the objective specified in section 106. The period of extension shall not reach the remaining period of special education in a juvenile correctional institution. Consolidated measure Section 124 (1) If the court determines multiple sentences of special education in a juvenile correctional institution for a juvenile and none of the sentences has been enforced by, or they are being enforced concurrently at, the time of ordering the consolidated measure, the court shall sentence the juvenile to special education in a juvenile correctional institution as a consolidated measure. (2) The period of special education in a juvenile correctional institution ordered as a consolidated measure shall be determined so that it is not shorter than the longest period of special education in a juvenile correctional institution or longer than the sum of all periods of special education in a juvenile correctional institution ordered or four years. 35 Contact: eu-forditas@im.gov.hu
