immigrant detention centers

Immigrant detention centers are facilities where individuals who are in the process of being investigated or deported for immigration-related reasons are held. These centers can be used for people who have entered a country illegally, are awaiting a legal decision, or have violated immigration laws. The conditions and treatment in these centers can vary widely. While some are run by government agencies, others are operated by private companies. Critics often raise concerns about human rights, living conditions, and the psychological impact on detainees, while supporters argue they are necessary for managing immigration and protecting borders.
