detention policies

Detention policies govern how authorities hold individuals who are suspected of breaking laws or immigration rules, often before a trial or decision. These policies specify who can be detained, the conditions of detention, and the length of time individuals can be held. They aim to balance security and justice with human rights, ensuring detention is used appropriately and fairly. Often, detention is used to prevent flight, ensure appearance in court, or protect public safety. These policies also outline procedures for review and release, emphasizing the importance of oversight to prevent abuse or unnecessary confinement.
