Legal instruments & key provisions

Legal instrument Key provision
The Criminal procedure act (Zakon o kazenskem postopku)No specific standards could be identified. The court shall as a rule preside over a criminal offence that was committed or attempted in its territory. Person shall be thus kept in remand based on the decision of the competent court and allocated accordingly. Rather than on the place of a person’s residence, it is the place where the alleged offence was committed or attempted that is decisive regarding the allocation of a suspect to a specific detention facility, which may indeed be closer to their home, but this is not a given. The allocation may particularly affect women, as there are only two facilities for the placement of female remand prisoners, namely Ig Prison (Zavod za prestajanje kazni zapora Ig) and Celje Juvenile and Adult Prison (Zavod za prestajanje mladoletniškega zapora in kazni zapora Celje).
