If a person is sentenced to death or life imprisonment and special pardon is issued forfeiting all or part of the penalty or replacing it by a milder penalty, the Public Prosecution must refer the matter to the court who had issued the judgment in order to decide to forbid him from residing for a period of (5) five years in the place or places determined thereby, unless the pardon decision stipulates otherwise. Furthermore, the court may, when imposing the penalty of temporary imprisonment, rule to prohibit the convict from residing in one or several specific places for a period which is equivalent to that of the imposed penalty, provided it does not exceed (5) five years. But if the judgment on the felony is issued for incarceration,, the court may rule the prohibition of residence for a period not exceeding (2) two years.
