Legal instrument Key provision
Grand-Ducal Regulation of 24 March 1989 concerning the administration and internal regime of penitentiary establishments (Règlement modifié grand-ducal du 24 mars 1989 concernant l'administration et le régime interne des établissements pénitentiaires)Detainees are allocated to establishments and wards according to the prison regime to be applied to them, considering their gender, personality, the reasons for their detention, and, as far as possible, their age and previous record. Male convicts and minors may be transferred to the Givenich agricultural prison for appropriate penological treatment. However, such transfer is a discretionary decision, assessed on the basis of legal criteria, such as the offender's personality, behaviour and evolution in the prison environment and may therefore be reverted.
