Restoring complaints on trial delays for prisoners

The Senate proposes allowing prisoners to file complaints about excessively long court proceedings regarding matters like conditional early release. Convicted persons will also be able to claim financial compensation for such delays.
Key points
Prisoners regain the right to complain about trial delays in enforcement proceedings, e.g., conditional release cases.
They may receive 2,000 to 20,000 PLN in compensation for unjustified court delays.
The change affects approx. 62,000 inmates but will increase court workload and state budget costs by approx. 2.1 million PLN annually.
A 2017 provision excluded these cases from complaints – now it would be repealed.
