Henryk R., the criminal known to the public as “Łomiarz,” was released from prison this Tuesday after serving a full 10-year sentence for attempted robbery. Despite the completion of his prison term, he remains under the supervision of the justice system through mandated electronic monitoring.
Strict Supervision and Electronic Monitoring
Judge Grzegorz Gała, spokesperson for the District Court in Łodzi, confirmed the release. The decision to implement electronic control of his location was made by the District Court in Łowicz following a request from the director of the Łowicz prison where the convict was held.
The court’s decision was based on opinions provided by expert psychiatrists. These experts determined there is a high probability that the convict could commit another prohibited act against life or health upon his release.
Henryk R. Will wear an electronic bracelet that continuously indicates his location. This measure is intended to ensure constant oversight of his movements.
Mandatory Therapy and Future Oversight
In addition to electronic monitoring, the court has imposed a mandatory requirement for the man to undergo therapy. This treatment is specifically designed to curb his aggressive behaviors.
According to the judge, electronic monitoring is applied indefinitely in such cases. However, the court may change this decision periodically after reviewing the progress of the therapy and consulting with expert psychologists and psychiatrists.
