Military Detention Facilities

Military detention facilities are specialized institutions used by the armed forces to hold individuals who are taken into custody during or related to military operations, security threats, or legal proceedings. These facilities ensure detainees are securely confined while their cases are processed, often under military jurisdiction. They operate under specific laws and regulations different from civilian prisons, prioritizing national security and discipline. Conditions vary based on the facility and detainee status, with provisions for legal rights, medical care, and humane treatment, all within the framework of military law and international standards.
