If the same deed forms multiple crimes, the crime with a stricter penalty and the judgement inflicting that penalty shall alone be considered. If several crimes are committed for the same purpose and are so interconnected that they are indivisible, they shall all be considered one crime and a ruling shall be passed inflicting the penalty that is prescribed for the most serious of these crimes. Article 33 Custodial penalties are multifarious, with the exclusion of those excepted by the provisions of Articles 35 and 36. Article 34 If the multifarious penalties are diversified, they shall be executed in the following order: First: Hard Labor. Second : Imprisonment. Third: Penal Servitude. Fourth: Light confinement. Article 35 The hard labor penalty shall absorb by its period all custodial penalty ruled in connection with a crime committed before the said hard labor ruling was passed. Article 36 If a person commits several crimes before a ruling is passed against him for one of these crimes, the temporary hard labor penalty period shall not exceed twenty years, even in case of plurality of penalties. Also, the period of imprisonment, or imprisonment and detention shall not exceed twenty years, while the period of detention alone shall not exceed six years. Article 37 Penalties shall always multiply with the fine.
