• Catalonia.Jordi Cuixart leaves prison to go to work and the Generalitat assures that he will apply semi-freedom to all prisoners of the 'procés'

The Barcelona Public Prosecutor's Office has denounced that "the exceptionality required by article 100.2 of the Penitentiary Regime has become a generality" when it has been applied to sovereign leaders convicted of sedition by the Supreme Court. The Public Prosecutor's Office has presented a brief before the Penitentiary Surveillance Court opposing the granting of this semi-freedom to the former ANC leader, Jordi Sanchez, who has not yet left Lledoners, although the prison treatment board applied this possibility leaving the center three days a week to do volunteer work.

In his brief, the prosecutor charges against what should be the "exceptionality" of this article of the prison regulation since it should facilitate the "social, family and labor insertion" of the inmate and in the case of Sànchez the board does not make "any reasoning why the tasks to be performed can positively influence the treatment shortages "for the prisoner. Therefore, the prosecutor indicates that "in relation to the mentioned exceptionality, the truth is that of the nine prisoners of the so-called Procés, five of them have already been granted the regime of article 100.2 of the Penitentiary Regulation, the Minister of Justice having stated of the Generalitat that article 100.2 of the Penitentiary Regulations will be applied to all sovereign leaders convicted of sedition by the Supreme Court, stating that it is a way to serve the sentence and remembering that it is an anomaly that political prisoners and prisoners are in prison , which shows that the exceptionality required by article 100.2 of the Penitentiary Regulation has become a generality ".

In this regard, the prosecutor adds that "in order for the performance of social activities to be considered part of the prison treatment, it would be required that, on the part of the treatment board that proposes the application of article 100.2 of the Penitentiary Regulation, be specified which are the deficits presented by the inmate, what specific activity would the same perform and why it would positively influence the overcoming of the deficits it presents; in addition to the reason why these deficits cannot be worked in the penitentiary center, especially in a been so early for compliance. None of this is indicated in the board reports. "

In addition, he adds that "there is no relationship between the crime committed and the performance of volunteer activity, whose purpose is according to the psychological report 'attend to people who are in a situation of vulnerability and social exclusion', but that such area is not a deficit that has to work in the internal since it does not lack the same ". "The performance of activities of general interest, of a solidarity, voluntary, free nature, without having their cause in a personal obligation or legal duty and without economic or material consideration, is something that was integrated into the personality of the inmate and therefore it is not a deficit that needs treatment, "the prosecutor considers and adds that the board's report that" performing tasks to help people with vulnerability and social exclusion, the inmate will understand and internalize values ​​such as solidarity, fraternity and equality, such a statement is not true, to the extent that such values ​​were already internalized internally since his adolescence. "

The Public Prosecutor recalls that Sànchez "is serving a sentence for a serious crime, having also imposed a severe sentence, 9 years in prison, and despite the fact that the reports supporting the proposal consider that it is a criminal and penitentiary primary inmate, who has After serving a quarter of the sentence and maintaining good conduct, which are certainly favorable factors, it should be borne in mind that the closer the penalty is and the more definitive licensing, the more exceptional the application of the regime should be considered flexible of article 100.2 of the Penitentiary Regime ".

It also indicates that Sànchez has not carried out any specific treatment program on the crime he committed as well "as the lack of recognition of the criminal nature of his conduct and assumption of responsibility, since only when responsibility is assumed, the danger of relapse in other criminal episodes steadily drifts away, being difficult, if not impossible, to detect the possibility of the end of re-education being fulfilled. "

Sanchez will go out three days a week for 11 hours to volunteer in a center of Barcelona. Specifically "in the direct and daily attention to the users of the programs" in addition to "design, seek financing, coordinate the development and evaluate new services, and with this activity the inmate will remain on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays eleven hours outside the prison ".
