摘要：According to the recent Penitentiary Principles Act (Penitentiaire beginselenwet = PBW) of 18 June 1998 (Legal Gazette 1999:30), the prison sentence is executed by placement of the sentenced in a penitentiary institution or by his or her participation in a penitentiary programme in terms of Article 2 of the PBW. Therefore we have to focus on the different penitentiary institutions first.
