Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the imprisonment imposed for insolvency violated the federal prohibition of debt imprisonment under Art. 59 BV.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The measure was not debt imprisonment but penal custody; it was therefore not incompatible with Art. 59 BV.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Court relied on its earlier judgment in Keller and distinguished the threatened imprisonment under the Schaffhausen debt-enforcement law from prohibited debt imprisonment.
