A detention camp is a facility where individuals are held, often without trial, for various reasons, including immigration violations or national security concerns. These camps can be used by governments to detain people during conflicts, crises, or for political reasons. Conditions in detention camps can vary widely, from basic shelter to more severe environments. Detention camps have been used throughout history, including during events like World War II, when Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated to such camps. Today, many countries still operate detention facilities, raising discussions about human rights and the treatment of detainees.
