While scholars have pointed out the factors determining the impediments to and efficacy of international human rights rules, poor attention has been paid to human rights violations relating to transfers between prison and psychiatric detention. There is a lack of intersection of policy spheres in this regard that should be remedied. Our contribution aims to challenge traditional sociolegal boundaries by integrating the intersection of policy and subdisciplines that cover penal justice (prison and police stations), psychiatric institutions, and human rights. Raising the question of human rights’ ability to limit the state’s power to punish in Europe compels us to explore different forms of “transinstitutionalization,” especially between prisons and psychiatric institutions and between prisons and immigration detention centers that present as “total institutions” (hosting populations perceived to be “deviant”), and share many similarities, including the risk of human rights violations. We forge the concept of “transpolicies” to take into account the mutual influence and the domino effects of such detention policies that are acknowledged, and both promoted and fought, by the European human rights institutions. In the empirical part, we focus on the increasing interactions between prison and mental health policies, taking Belgium as an example as it is known to raise specific human rights challenges.

欧洲人权限制国家惩罚权力的能力：通过“跨政策”概念将监狱政策与精神卫生政策联系起来

虽然学者们指出了决定国际人权规则的障碍和效力的因素，但对与监狱和精神病拘留所之间转移有关的侵犯人权行为却缺乏关注。在这方面缺乏政策领域的交叉点，应该予以纠正。我们的贡献旨在通过整合涵盖刑事司法（监狱和警察局）、精神病院和人权的政策和子学科的交叉点来挑战传统的社会法律界限。在欧洲提出人权限制国家惩罚权力的能力问题，迫使我们探索不同形式的“跨机构化”，特别是在监狱和精神病院之间，以及在监狱和移民拘留中心之间作为“整体机构”（托管被认为是“异常”的人群），并且有许多相似之处，包括侵犯人权的风险。我们提出“跨政策”的概念，以考虑欧洲人权机构承认、推动和反对的此类拘留政策的相互影响和多米诺骨牌效应。在实证部分，我们重点关注监狱和心理健康政策之间日益增加的相互作用，以比利时为例，因为众所周知，它提出了具体的人权挑战。
