In
other
words
,
the
Therapy
Placement
Act
engaged
in
a
pure
exercise
of
mislabelling
(
Umetikettierung
)
of
the
Convention
-
incompatible
retrospective
preventive
detention
as
an
allegedly
non
-
criminal
,
non‑punitive
measure
of
therapeutic
placement.[72
]
Although
applicable
by
civil
courts
,
the
non
-
criminal
nature
of
the
internment
was
unclear
,
as
was
the
concept
of
“
mental
disorder
”
(
psychische
Störung
)
.
The
artifice
used
was
the
intensification
of
the
“
magic
formula”[73
]
of
the
distance
requirement
.
In
other
words
,
the
legislator
doubled
down
on
the
distance
requirement
with
a
view
to
making
the
practical
features
of
the
execution
of
preventive
detention
as
a
non
-
punitive
therapeutic
internment
appear
distinct
from
the
service
of
a
prison
sentence
and
therefore
save
retrospective
preventive
detention
from
Strasbourg
reprobation
.
The
political
move
was
risky
,
but
turned
out
to
be
quite
successful
,
since
the
reaction
of
the
national
judiciary
was
supportive
.
