The Saxon Law on Help and Accommodation in the Event of Mental Illnesses , or SächsPsychKG for short , is a state law in Saxony . It regulates the placement , also the execution

  • the measures according to §§ 63 and 64 of the Criminal Code (StGB) and § 7 of the Youth Courts Act (JGG)
  • temporary placement in accordance with Section 126a of the Code of Criminal Procedure (StPO)
  • the security placement according to § 463 in connection with 453c StPO.

In 2013, the law came under criticism of the Federal Constitutional Court (decision of February 20, 2013, Az. 2 BvR 228/12): "The review of a measure requires guaranteed independence from the accommodation facility."
