Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of legal qualification of escape from a reformatory. The author considers the problem from the point of view of disciplinary and criminal liability. He points out that while disciplinary liability in such a case raises no doubts, opinions vary on the possibility of qualifying an escape from a reformatory as a criminal offence of self-liberation under Article 242 (1) of the Criminal Code [CC]. The author accepts the minority view that placing a person in a reformatory constitutes ‘deprivation of liberty’ as referred to in Article 242 (1) CC, therefore a person who liberates him- or herself (escapes) from such a facility commits a prohibited act (criminal offence).
