The study is divided in two parts. Part one is published in IRCP-Series volume 40 (Cross-border execution of judgments involving deprivation of liberty in the EU. Overcoming legal and practical problems through flanking measures). The problem description and analysis provided for in this volume are to a large extent based on the detailed Member State information that has been collected via the national legal framework questionnaire. This volume (41: Material detention conditions, execution of custodial sentences and prisoner transfer in the EU Member States) contains the answers to the questions of the national legal framework questionnaire, preceded by a factsheet based on the latest data of the International Centre for Prison Studies (ICPS). The information in the different chapters of this volume is complemented with a short analysis on 1) the international instrument compliance and 2) the national detention situation in practice based on desktop research undertaken by the project team. Volume 41 could be consulted as a background document to volume 40.
