Detention centres are facilities where individuals are held, often for legal reasons, such as immigration status or criminal charges. They are designed to temporarily house people while their cases are being processed or while they await deportation. Conditions in these centres can vary widely, and they may be run by government agencies or private companies. In many countries, detention centres are used to manage the influx of asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants. These centres aim to ensure that individuals remain available for court hearings or immigration proceedings, but they have faced criticism regarding their treatment of detainees and overall living conditions.
