Questione giuridica chiave
Whether converting an unpaid order fine into imprisonment violates Art. 59 BV.
Decisione estratta
No. Art. 59 BV abolishes imprisonment only as an execution means to compel payment of a debt; it does not preclude conversion of an unenforceable money fine into imprisonment as a different kind of punishment.
Motivazione estratta
The measure was a penal conversion of a fine that could not be collected, not coercive detention for debt collection.
