Custodial capture is what standing has to prevent on the receiving end of help. The move is quiet and often well-intentioned: because an institution provides shelter, income, care, or treatment, it begins to acquire say over relationships, residence, information, daily conduct, and refusal — and the participant’s jurisdiction over their own life erodes in proportion to their dependence. What was offered as support becomes a standing demotion.
The guard against it is a presumption stated in reverse: dependency does not transfer total jurisdiction. Specific, justified limits remain possible — serious danger, or genuine incapacity handled through narrowed jurisdiction — but they must be specific and reviewable, never a general license earned by having provided help. Custodial capture is the near cousin of human enclosure: a person kept safe and cared for while losing consequential authority over their own existence.
