The aim of this article is to describe the corollary of evasion of serving a penalty of restriction of liberty, which is converting the penalty of restriction of liberty to replacement penalty of imprisonment. First of all, the author describes all the premises of ordering the execution of a replacement penalty of imprisonment and elaborates on the term of “evasion” of serving a penalty of restriction of liberty. Further the principles of the replacing a penalty of restriction of liberty with replacement penalty of imprisonment are indicated. The author also analysed the procedure of ordering the execution of replacement penalty of imprisonment. Afterwards there is description of the rules and regulations regarding the execution of replacement penalty of imprisonment. Finally the author focuses on suspension of execution of replacement penalty of imprisonment and the consequences of further evasion of execution of the penalty of restriction of liberty.
This article discusses certain issues relating to the crediting of the period of actual deprivation of liberty towards the penalty of restriction of liberty in accordance with Article 63 of the Polish Criminal Code. The author presents a method of rounding up the period of a sentenced person’s prior detention to be credited towards the penalty of restriction of liberty subsequently imposed upon him/her, which differs from the method adopted so far in the legal doctrine, while indicating that there are no grounds in the current legal state for rounding that period up to a full month and that the rounding up should only be to a full day. The paper also points to the difficulties related to the crediting of the period of actual deprivation of liberty towards the penalty of restriction of liberty resulting from the lack of coherence between the period of one year and the period of 12 months (Article 12c of the Polish Penal Enforcement Code). The article also discusses the impact that crediting of the sentenced person’s detention period under Article 63 Criminal Code has on the possibility of releasing such person from serving the remainder of his/her penalty under Article 83 Criminal Code.

Artykuł dotyczy wybranych zagadnień związanych z zaliczaniem okresu rzeczywistego pozbawienia wolności na poczet kary ograniczenia wolności w trybie art. 63 k.k. Autorka prezentuje odmienny od przyjmowanego dotychczas w doktrynie sposób zaokrąglania okresu uprzedniej izolacji skazanego na poczet orzeczonej następnie względem niego kary ograniczenia wolności, wskazując, że w aktualnym stanie prawnym brak jest podstaw do zaokrąglania tego okresu w górę do pełnego miesiąca, a zaokrąglenie powinno nastąpić w górę jedynie do pełnego dnia. W pracy zwrócono również uwagę na trudności związane z dokonywaniem zaliczenia okresu rzeczywistego pozbawiania wolności na poczet kary ograniczenia wolności, wynikające z braku koherencji pomiędzy okresem jednego roku, a okresem 12 miesięcy (art. 12c k.k.w.). Omówiony został także wpływ zaliczenia skazanemu okresu izolacji, w trybie art. 63 k.k., na możliwość zwolnienia go od reszty kary na podstawie art. 83 k.k.
