Detention camps are facilities 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 manage large groups of people, such as refugees or those awaiting deportation. Conditions in detention camps can vary widely, from basic shelter to overcrowded and unsanitary environments. Historically, detention camps have been associated with significant human rights issues. For example, during World War II, the United States established Japanese internment camps to confine Japanese Americans, reflecting wartime fears and prejudice. Today, many organizations advocate for the rights of detainees and seek to improve conditions in such facilities.
