Abstract

The legal basis for the execution of imprisonment for a fixed term in Switzerland includes the Federal Constitution and the Swiss Criminal Code (hereinafter referred to as the Swiss CC). At the same time, the scope of the legal regulation for the execution of imprisonment for a fixed term, provided by the Swiss CC, is much broader than in the CC of Ukraine. Unlike Ukraine, Switzerland does not have a special law on the execution of punishments. Swiss legislation contains regulations that determine the dual competence in the field of punishments
execution: for cantons and the federal government. In Swiss legislation (in particular, in the Swiss CC) there are no provisions that fix the peculiarities regarding serving imprisonment for convicted women. Unlike Switzerland, the criminal and executive legislation of Ukraine does not provide creating sections (sectors) for convicts of various categories within one institution. The peculiarities of sentencing and executing imprisonment for a fixed term regarding juveniles in Switzerland comparing to Ukraine are highlighted.
