That’s it. Professor Panteleimon Giannakopoulos will soon leave the medical direction of Curabilis and the Institutional Measures Service (SMI) to take the reins of the Cantonal Health Office in Geneva. The handover should take place officially at the beginning of March regarding this prison establishment intended for offenders considered potentially dangerous because of their mental disorders or their personality traits. In summary, individuals who present a serious risk of recurrence and who are likely to progress thanks to therapy of necessarily indefinite duration. For the psychiatrist, it is also time to take a more personal assessment and look back on the work accomplished within this concord structure of 92 places, which is still unique in French-speaking Switzerland.

Le Temps: You let go of Curabilis and the SMI for the upper echelons of the administration. Have you had enough of the prison field?
