Table Showing the Duration of Divisible Penalties and the Time Included in Each of Their Periods

Overview of the Duration of Divisible Penalties

The provided table details the duration and specific time intervals for various divisible penalties under a legal framework. These penalties are categorized into four columns: the time included in the penalty in its entirety, the minimum period, the medium period, and the maximum period. Divisible penalties allow for a structured application of justice by breaking down the total duration into three distinct sub-phases based on the presence of mitigating or aggravating circumstances.

Reclusion Temporal

Reclusion temporal represents a high-severity penalty with a total duration ranging from $12\,years$ and $1\,day$ to $20\,years$. For the purpose of judicial calculation, this penalty is divided into three equal periods. The minimum period of reclusion temporal spans from $12\,years$ and $1\,day$ to $14\,years$ and $8\,months$. The medium period begins immediately following the minimum period, covering the range from $14\,years$, $8\,months$ and $1\,day$ up to $17\,years$ and $4\,months$. The maximum period encompasses the final duration of the penalty, stretching from $17\,years$, $4\,months$ and $1\,day$ to a maximum limit of $20\,years$.

Prision Mayor, Absolute Disqualification, and Special Temporary Disqualification

The penalties of Prision mayor, absolute disqualification, and special temporary disqualification share the same temporal structure throughout their entirety and subdivisions. The total duration for these penalties is prescribed from $6\,years$ and $1\,day$ to $12\,years$. The minimum period for these penalties constitutes the timeframe from $6\,years$ and $1\,day$ to $8\,years$. The medium period is defined as the time from $8\,years$ and $1\,day$ up to $10\,years$. The maximum period covers the final segment from $10\,years$ and $1\,day$ to $12\,years$.

Prision Correccional, Suspension, and Destierro

This grouping includes the penalties of Prision correccional, suspension, and destierro. The entirety of the penalty for this group lasts from $6\,months$ and $1\,day$ up to $6\,years$. The minimum period is calculated from $6\,months$ and $1\,day$ to $2\,years$ and $4\,months$. The medium period starts from $2\,years$, $4\,months$ and $1\,day$ and extends to $4\,years$ and $2\,months$. The final portion of the duration, known as the maximum period, ranges from $4\,years$, $2\,months$ and $1\,day$ to a maximum of $6\,years$.

Arresto Mayor

Arresto mayor is a mid-range term penalty. The duration of the penalty in its entirety spans from $1\,month$ and $1\,day$ to $6\,months$. This is subdivided into a minimum period reaching from $1\,month$ and $1\,day$ to $2\,months$. The medium period for Arresto mayor encompasses the time from $2\,months$ and $1\,day$ to $4\,months$. The maximum period covers the range from $4\,months$ and $1\,day$ to the total limit of $6\,months$.

Arresto Menor

Arresto menor is the shortest of the divisible penalties listed. The penalty in its entirety spans from $1$ to $30\,days$. Its minimum period is defined as the first third of the duration, ranging from $1$ to $10\,days$. The medium period covers the second third, from $11$ to $20\,days$.
