Article 45: The remand warrant in force shall be considered as a document for the execution of
the sentence and the security measure depriving the person of liberty which were finally
pronounced.
If the convict is not in pre-trial detention or if an arrest or detention warrant is not issued against
him at the hearing under the conditions provided for by the criminal procedure law, the time
limit for appeal granted to the Public Prosecutor by the provisions of the Criminal Procedure
Code shall not be an obstacle to the execution of the sentence or the security measure depriving
the person of liberty.
Article 46: When it is established that the convicted woman is pregnant, any sentence of
deprivation of liberty pronounced against her shall not be executed until six months after her
delivery.
Article 47: The father and mother sentenced, even for different offences, to custodial sentences
not exceeding one year and not detained on the day of the judgment, shall, upon their request, be
exempted from serving their sentence simultaneously if, having proof of a common residence,
they have their minor child in their care and custody.
Article 48: The duration of any temporary deprivation of liberty is counted from the day of the
arrest of the convicted person.
The sentence pronounced in days is computed by twenty-four (24) hours.
It is calculated from date to date when it is pronounced in months.
A convict whose sentence ends on a legal holiday, a Saturday or a Sunday shall be released on
the preceding working day.
Article 49: The duration of the preventive detention shall be deducted in full from the duration of
the temporary custodial sentence pronounced.
For the enforcement of sentences pronounced by military courts, the time during which the
convicted person has been deprived of his liberty by a disciplinary measure, if this measure was
taken for the same reason, shall be considered as preventive detention.
The above paragraphs are applicable to preventive detention followed by a suspended sentence
in the event of subsequent revocation of the said suspension.
The deduction provided for in the present article is excluded for any period of pre-trial detention
coinciding either with the execution of a sentence of deprivation of liberty or of a confinement
for security, or with the enforcement of a remand order.
Any period of pre-trial detention common to two or more proceedings is, unless the sentences are
merged, deducted from only one of the sentences of deprivation of liberty pronounced.
