Summary/Abstract: The sequence of penalty is a new measure of penal reaction, which according to the legislator’s intention should replace the suspended imprisonment, which is too often used by the courts. A short period of imprisonment provides deterrence to criminal behavior and at the same time due to penalty of limitation of liberty, which is deprived from strong stigmatization effect, it is possible to approach socially expected behavior. The authors examined the Ministry of Justices files and analyzed the use of this institution in the context of achieving the objectives set forth it during the legislation process. The Authors also indicate the problems in Art. 37b application.
