Confinement (criminal law)
The confinement was a special type of punishment intended for perpetrators of conviction in the draft of a General German Criminal Code from 1922 (also known as E 1922 or " Radbruch Draft ") . It was conceptually related to the fortress detention provided for in the Reich Criminal Code , but it dispensed with moralizing notions of an "honorable disposition" on the part of the perpetrator and, in contrast to fortress detention, should not be limited to certain criminal offenses.
The E 1922 did not get beyond the status of a cabinet proposal.
Enclosure was the name of a form of execution which, in accordance with the Criminal Code of the Federal Republic of Germany, took the place of fortress detention in 1953 and was replaced by the now uniform imprisonment at the end of the 1960s as a result of the major penal reform.
