The judge shall leave the substitution without effect and shall order that the prison penalty imposed be executed, when the sentenced person does not comply with the conditions that were indicated to him for such purpose, except that the adjudicator deems it convenient to warn him that if a new fault is incurred, the substituted sanction shall be made effective, or when the sentenced person is convicted for another offense.

In the event of the substituted prison penalty being made effective, the time during which the sentenced person has complied with the substitute sanction shall be taken into account.
