French term or phrase: tribunal d'application des peines et des mesures (TAPEM)
I am translating a text relating to a court proceeding in Geneva. I am really unsure about how to translate the above term. I first thought it was similar to our CPS but now I am not sure. Maybe its houdl just be left in the French?
An example of sentence usage in the text is:
Le TAPEM ayant par jugement du X Juin 2008 declare la requete irrecevable....

Thank you in advance.

Explanation:
From my research, there is no direct English equivalent. I would leave it in French with an explanation in English in brackets.
