[en] The Belgian internment measure has been oscillating between justice and health since its first formulations. The 2016 Internment policy plan and the legal framework support a strong collaboration between those two fields. As Rutherford (2010) stated: “these last two decades there has been a convergence between mental health and criminal justice policy, legislation, systems and practice, [...] boundaries between the two systems are becoming increasingly blurred.” This communication aims at illustrating how the emergence of new hybrid professional roles and the evolution of professionals’ practices come to foster the blurring of mental health and justice sectors’ respective boundaries.
