In the case where the law requires the placement of the convict in any of the Labour Establishments, the court shall rule the same with no need to specify the period of placement in its judgment. The administrators of such labour establishment are required to prepare periodical reports about the condition of the convict and submit them, within periods not exceeding (6) six months each, to the competent Court through the Public Prosecution. The court may, after consultation with the Public Prosecution, order the release of the convict if it finds that his condition has improved. The period of placement may not, with regard to habitual criminals, exceed (5) five years for misdemeanours and (10) ten years for felonies.
