the total length of the sentence still to be served in the case of continuous enforcement of several sentences of
imprisonment, and the time spent in each stage of enforcement,
c) among the criminological characteristics of the convicted person, the criminal history of the convicted person,
the recidivism of the convicted person in a criminological sense, the nature of his previous offences and the extent
of the criminality of the convicted person, i.e. the characteristics of one or more objects of law affected by the
offences committed by the convicted person,
d) the risks of recidivism and imprisonment of the sentenced person as set out in paragraph 2,
e) the prisoner's behaviour during his previous detention, including during the period of arrest, t h e proportion of

(4) As part of the risk analysis, the assessment to facilitate the selection of reintegration programmes should
identify the factors that characterise the prisoner's skills, habits and behaviour that need to be developed in order to
ensure his successful social reintegration, and on this basis it should also be examined what programmes would
help to reduce the prisoner's risk of reoffending and reintegration, and whether the prisoner has any special
treatment needs.

Procedure, the number of credits to be earned by the prisoner shall be calculated on the basis of the remaining term
of imprisonment (hereinafter referred to as the "term of imprisonment").
(2) Based on the initial category classification of the sentenced person, the number of category advancement
possibilities during the enforcement period should be calculated and the term of imprisonment or the term still to
be served should be divided accordingly. The duration thus calculated determines t h e possible date of the
category advancement.
1388 M A G Y A R C O N T E R - No 23 of 2024

(3) The proportioning under paragraph 2 shall be carried out in such a way that, if

awaiting enforcement,
c) three categories of pre-sentencing are possible, the duration of imprisonment or the term of imprisonment
pending enforcement is four,
d) there are four possible categories, the term of imprisonment or the term of imprisonment to be served is
divided into five equal parts.
(4) The number of credits to be obtained shall be divided by the number of fractions specified in paragraph (3), the
result of which shall be the number of credits the convicted person shall obtain in relation to his current category
classification for each of the more favourable category preclassifications available to him pursuant to Article 97 (3)
and (5) to (6) and Article 192 (1a) of the Bv.
(5) As a consequence of the rounding rule under paragraph 4, the equal proportionality under paragraph 2 may be
modified by adjusting the duration to the number of credits, with the number of credits available in the most
favourable category for the convicted person and the duration being increased by the sum of the fractions of credits
lost by rounding.
(6) Credits that can be earned in each category related to the convicted person's current category classification
(4) to (5), the credits to be earned for category advancement on the basis of equity pursuant to Section 99 (10) of the
Bv. tv. shall be calculated at the same time.
37. § (1) If the sentenced person is serving consecutively several terms of imprisonment, the duration of all the terms
of imprisonment or the remaining term of imprisonment to be served shall be added together and calculated
according to
a) the number of credits that may be earned by applying paragraph (1) of Article 36,
b) the prorating pursuant to paragraph (2) of Article 36, with the proviso that if the application of paragraph (4) of
Article 99 of the Penal Code cannot be ensured by the starting date of the sentence to be served in the next level of
enforcement, t h e prorating shall be carried out for the period up to the day of aggregation preceding this starting
date, or, if the prorating is precluded by other provisions of law on this day, up to the day of the next aggregation
pursuant to paragraph (7) of Article 99 of the Penal Code, and
c) the number of credits to be earned for the more favourable category advancement available to the convicted
person by applying paragraphs (4) to (5) of Article 36.
(2) In the calculation pursuant to paragraph (1)(b), notwithstanding the provisions of Article 36(3), the proportioning
shall be carried out in such a way that, if by the date obtained as a result of this calculation
a) a category pre-selection is to be made available to the prisoner, then the total amount of time for that category,
b) two category pre-scores are to be made available to the sentenced person, then half of the sentence for each
category shall be assigned to that grade,
c) three categories of pre-selection should be made available to the sentenced person, then one third of the
sentence for each category shall be assigned to that grade
belong to.
(3) In the case of a new custodial sentence imposed by the application of Section 14 (3) of the Bv. tv.

case where the previous category classification was maintained as the initial category classification pursuant to
Paragraph (6) of Article 97 of the Bv.
(4) If the sentenced person is to serve a new custodial sentence or a custodial sentence as a whole, or if the
duration of the custodial sentence is changed as a result of an extraordinary remedy, pardon or parole, and no new
risk assessment is carried out, or his or her c a t e g o r i s a t i o n does not change following the risk assessment,
the timing of the possible date of the categorisation and the number of credits to be acquired for this purpose shall
be determined by the Bv. (7) of Section 99 of the Penal Code shall be recalculated on the occasion of the next
aggregation pursuant to Section 99(7) of the Penal Code.
(5) In the case provided for in paragraph 4, the number of credits to be earned for all category advancement
available in relation to the convicted person's current category classification and the due date for their availability
shall be d e t e r m i n e d . In doing so, the difference in the number of credits to be acquired shall be calculated by
applying Article 36(1) on the basis of the duration of the custodial sentence or, in the case of multiple custodial
sentences, the extent to which the total duration of the custodial sentence has decreased or increased. The
difference shall then be calculated on the basis of the convicted person's current and
M A G Y A R C O N T E R - No 23 of 2024 1389

shall be deducted from or added to the number of credits to be earned for the additional more favourable category
classifications available to him/her in equal proportion. The convicted person shall retain the credits already earned
during the period of the current category c l a s s i f i c a t i o n .
(6) For the purposes of paragraph (5), if the difference calculated is divided equally into fractions, the result i s
a) in the case of an increase in the length or total length of imprisonment, the result for the more severe categories
should be rounded down and added to the number of credits to be obtained for the category advancement in the
more severe categories, then the result for the most favourable category available to the convicted person shall be
increased by the number of credits corresponding to the sum of the parts of credits lost by rounding up the more
restrictive categories and the result rounded upwards shall be added to the number of credits to be obtained in the
most favourable category,
b) in the case of a reduction in the duration or total duration of imprisonment, the result for the more severe
categories shall be rounded upwards and the value of this rounding shall be deducted from the number of credits
to be obtained for the category advancement in the more severe categories, then t h e result for the most
favourable category available to the convicted person shall be reduced by the number of credits corresponding to
the sum of the fractions of credits added when rounding up the more restrictive categories and the result rounded
upwards shall be subtracted from the number of credits to be obtained in the most favourable category.
(7) If the CCMI or its agglomeration unit has downgraded the category classification of the convicted person as a
result of the new risk analysis examination pursuant to Section 93 (3) of the Bv. In this case, the convicted person
shall have zero credits in the downgraded category.
(8) In the case of immediate reclassification, the number of credits required for one or two categories shall be
calculated on the basis of Section 95 (9) of the Bv.

b) determines how many extra credit points the convicted person has earned during the aggregation period, and
c) whether the convicted person has been disciplined, and if so, how many credits should be deducted on the basis
of the disciplinary sanctions, and whether a decision has been taken to suspend the deduction.
§ 39 (1) The SIB shall determine, in the six-monthly aggregation, as the difference between the number of
c r e d i t s granted from the six credits that can be acquired and the number of credits acquired plus the number of
credits to be deducted for disciplinary sanction, the n u m b e r o f credits actually acquired or lost by the
convicted person, by which value t h e number of credits acquired by the convicted person during the execution
of the given custodial sentence up to that time shall be increased or decreased.

already gained. If, as a result of the deduction, the number of credits falls below zero and the convicted person

earned to reach the previous category classification, or
b) has not yet been classified in a category, then the credits required for the category classification in the reclassified
category shall be formed according to the calculation specified in Article 95 (9) of the Bv.

deducted shall be taken in accordance with paragraph 1,
b) the period of suspension has not yet expired, it shall state that fact,

have been effective and no credit points will be deducted.
(4) On the basis of the convicted person's request pursuant to Paragraph (3) of Article 100 of the Penal Code, the
BFB shall examine whether the calculation results are correct and, if necessary, correct them, and whether credit
points may be credited or t h e deduction of credit points may be reduced or cancelled.
(5) If the convicted person has filed a judicial review application pursuant to Section 100 (3) of the Bv. act against the
decision rejecting or partially rejecting the application pursuant to Section 100 (6) of the Bv. act, the BFB shall attach
to the application the decision on the review of the previous aggregation period, as well as an extract from the
prisoner's record for the period under review, which shall include
a) the number of credits earned by the convicted person and the number of credits deducted, indicating the date
and legal basis for the acquisition and deduction,
