(1) Imprisonment is the deprivation of liberty of a person guilty of committing a criminal offence by the imposed isolation of that person from the normal environment of life and his or her placement, on the basis of a court decision, in a penitentiary for a certain period of time.

(2) Imprisonment shall be for a term of 3 months to 20 years.

(3) When the deprivation of liberty is imposed on a person who was under the age of 18 at the time of the offence, the period of deprivation of liberty shall be set at half of the maximum penalty provided by criminal law for the offence committed.

(3.1) When imposing the penalty on persons who have reached the age of 18 but have not reached the age of 21, who committed the offence at the age of 18 to 21, the maximum penalty shall be reduced by one third. If the court, taking into account the personality of the offender, comes to the conclusion that only by imposing the punishment within the general limits the purpose of the criminal punishment will be achieved, it may order a punishment within the limits prescribed by the criminal law for the offence committed. The necessity of imposing the penalty within the general limits is to be argued by the court.

(4) In the case of a final sentencing in the case of concurrent offences, the term of imprisonment may not exceed 25 years for adults, 20 years for persons who have reached the age of 18 but have not reached the age of 21, and 12 years and 6 months for minors, and in the case of multiple sentences - 30 years for adults, 25 years for persons who have reached the age of 18 but have not reached the age of 21, and 15 years for minors.

(5) In the case of replacement of life imprisonment by a lighter sentence by way of pardon, imprisonment for a term of 30 years shall apply.
