Art. 235 Schweizerische Strafprozessordnung (StPO) - Vollzug der Haft
StPO; 5. Titel: Zwangsmassnahmen; 3. Kapitel: Freiheitsentzug, Untersuchungs- und Sicherheitshaft
Art. 235 StPO · Vollzug der Haft
Die inhaftierte Person darf in ihrer persönlichen Freiheit nicht stärker eingeschränkt werden, als es der Haftzweck sowie die Ordnung und Sicherheit in der Haftanstalt erfordern.
Die Kontakte zwischen der inhaftierten Person und anderen Personen bedürfen der Bewilligung der Verfahrensleitung. Besuche finden wenn nötig unter Aufsicht statt.
Die Verfahrensleitung kontrolliert die ein- und ausgehende Post, mit Ausnahme der Korrespondenz mit Aufsichts- und Strafbehörden. Während der Sicherheitshaft kann sie diese Aufgabe der Staatsanwaltschaft übertragen.
Die inhaftierte Person kann mit der Verteidigung frei und ohne inhaltliche Kontrolle verkehren. Besteht begründeter Verdacht auf Missbrauch, so kann die Verfahrensleitung mit Genehmigung des Zwangsmassnahmengerichts den freien Verkehr befristet einschränken; sie eröffnet die Beschränkungen der inhaftierten Person und der Verteidigung vorgängig.
Die Kantone regeln die Rechte und Pflichten der inhaftierten Personen, ihre Beschwerdemöglichkeiten, die Disziplinarmassnahmen sowie die Aufsicht über die Haftanstalten.
