That the framework of guarantees that must accompany any form of deprivation of liberty has been the subject of special care, setting out the scope of the disciplinary power and its competence.
That a special object of the proposed general rules of procedure is to enable the defendants to so request, their early incorporation into the regime of execution of the sentence, which will result in undeniable benefits in order to promote personal and to citizen security.
