In 2023, Switzerland saw 9,297 new sentencing executions, marking a slight increase from 2022. Notably, 91% of those incarcerated were men, with approximately two-thirds lacking Swiss citizenship. The majority of sentences included prison time for offenses, with 38% receiving custodial sentences and 42% replacement sentences for unpaid fines. While many individuals served brief terms, 8,825 were released this year, with half incarcerated for under 30 days. An emerging trend reveals increased use of alternative sentencing methods, such as community service and electronic monitoring, reflecting evolving justice practices in the country.
