Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the conversion of community service into a prison sentence was lawful under Art. 39 StGB
Extrahierter Entscheid
The conversion to a prison sentence was permissible, given the appellant's financial situation and repeated failure to carry out the community service without valid excuse.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court confirmed the lower court's prognosis that a fine could not be successfully enforced within a useful time and that direct conversion to imprisonment was within the court's discretion. Lack of funds and the repeated failure to organize or attend community service justified the measure.
