Detention centers are facilities where individuals are held, often for legal reasons. These centers can be used for various purposes, including the detention of immigrants awaiting legal proceedings or individuals accused of crimes before their trial. The conditions and length of stay can vary widely depending on the specific center and the legal situation of the detainees. In many countries, detention centers are designed to ensure safety and security while individuals await their legal outcomes. They may provide basic necessities such as food, shelter, and medical care, but the living conditions can differ significantly from those in regular prisons.
