Detention facilities are places where individuals are held in custody, often for legal reasons. These facilities can include jails, prisons, and immigration detention centers. They are designed to securely house people who are awaiting trial, serving sentences, or undergoing immigration processing. The conditions and regulations in these facilities can vary widely depending on their purpose and location. In detention facilities, individuals may have limited freedom and are subject to rules and supervision. Staff members, including correctional officers and social workers, are responsible for maintaining order and ensuring the safety of both detainees and the public. Access to legal representation and basic services, such as healthcare, is typically provided to those in custody.
