跨國移交受刑人法

本條說明制定本法的目的：為將受刑人移交回其本國執行，並彰顯人道精神、達成刑罰教化目的。

The specified days must each be counted as one day toward the converted fixed-term imprisonment under the preceding article.

The local prosecution office must report to the Ministry of Justice after the Article 8(1) ruling becomes final. The Ministry of Justice may issue a receiving order if it considers receiving the prisoner appropriate, and must consult relevant agencies before issuing it.

依本法接收的受刑人，應依我國法律執行其徒刑。

If an act is permitted for execution in Taiwan under Article 8(1), it may not be punished again under Taiwan law. The Criminal Code’s recidivism rule also applies when the prior offense was adjudicated by a foreign court and that judgment is permitted for execution in Taiwan under Article 8(1).

返國執行後如發現移交國的判決違法或有新事實、新證據，僅得請求移交國依法處理。

符合條件的受刑人，矯正機關可報請法務部許可假釋出獄；法務部並可訂定換算與認定的辦法。

When the sending country notifies that the sentenced imprisonment has been remitted or reduced, the Ministry of Justice must immediately notify the competent prosecutor’s office, and the assigned prosecutor must file a written petition with the court for remission or reduction of the imprisonment.

With the transferring state’s consent, a returned prisoner may be pardoned under domestic law.

A sentenced person may be transferred only if the listed conditions are met.

法務部應派員確認受刑人或其法定代理人同意回國執行是否出於自願，並告知遣送後的法律效果；移交國得派人到場。

This provision says transfer of a prisoner is governed first by the treaty with the sending country; if there is no treaty or the treaty does not cover an issue, this law applies; if this law also does not cover it, related criminal and juvenile laws apply.

法務部在接獲移交國請求、確認符合第十八條並經共同審議認為適當時，得核發遣送受刑人命令，由該管檢察署執行。

If a prisoner is transferred by Taiwan to the receiving state and finishes serving the sentence there, the imprisonment not yet served in Taiwan is treated as already served.

本法也適用於施行前已經刑事裁判確定的受刑人。

臺灣地區與大陸地區、香港及澳門間的受刑人移交，準用本法規定，且不受特定條文限制。

本法的施行細則由行政院會同司法院訂定。

This law takes effect six months after it is promulgated.

This article defines key terms used in the law: prisoner, reception, transfer, transfer, and transfer country.

接收受刑人須符合多項條件，包括雙方同意、判決確定、行為在我國亦屬犯罪、國籍與戶籍、書面同意、剩餘刑期與時效條件，以及公正審判權保障。

法務部或其委託人員要先確認受刑人（或其法定代理人）的同意是否自願，並告知接收後的法律效果；確認後，該同意不得撤回。

法務部在接獲移交國接收受刑人的請求、確認符合第四條並徵詢相關機關意見後，應通知管轄檢察署；檢察官再附上必要文件，書面向法院聲請許可執行移交國法院裁判。

涉及執行移交國法院裁判的案件，由中央政府所在地的地方法院專屬管轄。

法院在符合條件時應准許執行並宣告轉換後的刑；不符程式或不應准許的聲請則應駁回。

This article sets rules for converting foreign-court prison sentences into sentences under domestic law, including when life imprisonment or fixed-term imprisonment is imposed, when the original sentence is kept or reduced to the domestic maximum, a 30-year cap in one case, and how attached conditions are treated.
